For some reason or another we are drawn to bad foods. Is it the fact that they’re bad? Like when your parents say don’t eat sweets before tea because it’s bad so while they’re not looking we try and shove as many cookies in our mouths as we can. Well…maybe you didn’t do this but I did! This of course doesn’t do my hips or butt any favours and now that I’m going to be training for INBA Sports Model division this October, the need to stay away from that very very bad food has become more necessary and a lot harder! So what do I do when I get that craving for something really really bad? I make Quesadillas! Not only are they pretty healthy but they smell and taste so so good that any craving you had for something greasy or oily is completely satisfied. The best part is they don’t take that long to make either! Instead of sour cream though I have home-made salsa with mine…but you guys go ahead and treat yourselves 
Stay tuned for some more of my favourite meals for now, I gotta go train!
