Ingredients:
Cantaloupe
Kale
Tomatoes
Brown Sugar
The above ingredients use as much as you want.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place parchment paper on top of baking sheet.
I cut up half a large cantaloupe into cubes and added it to a plastic bag with some brown sugar. I didn't add a lot of sugar but add to your taste.
Place cantaloupe cubes on parchment paper with cut tomatoes.
Bake for 25 minutes or until cantaloupe is soft. Remove from oven.
Place greens on plate and then add cantaloupe and tomatoes on top.
Sharon and Don gave us a cantaloupe. It wasn't ripe. One half I made a smoothie for breakfast and I wanted to make something with kale.
The cantaloupe and tomatoes are so good roasted.

Cover the skillet. After about 3 minutes, stir the sweet potato mixture and cover again to cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Ingredients:
4 large flour tortillas
2 cups kale , stems removed and cut into thin strips
2 medium sweet potatoes , peeled and large diced
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons olive oil , divided
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 tablespoon honey
2 red onions , medium, thinly sliced into semi-circles
2 garlic cloves , minced
salt and freshly ground pepper , to taste
Directions:
Place diced sweet potatoes in a pot with salted water, bring to boil and cook on low for about 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. When cooked, drain well. Using a potato masher or the back of a large fork, mash them. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside. Note: If you have a Instant Pot you can cook the sweet potatoes in it. Check for time depending on the size of the potatoes.
In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, honey and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and butter over medium heat and add the onion. Cook until tender . Add the balsamic sauce to the onions, mix well and cook over low heat for 8-10 minutes. Add in the garlic and kale and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, until the kale has wilted. Remove from heat.
Place the tortillas on a work surface. Spread about 1/3 cup of the potato mixture on half of the tortilla. Then layer with 1/4 cup of kale/onion mixture . Top with about 1/4 cup of the cheese (or to taste). Fold the empty half of the tortilla on top of the filled side and press down gently. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Wipe out the pan, reheat over medium-high heat and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Cook the quesadillas for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove from the heat and cool slightly. Cut quesadillas into wedges.
