ASPARAGUS AND GOAT CHEESE QUESADILLAS
From All Recipes. This one is for me! I never would have thought of putting cilantro with goat cheese. I made this when I happened to have all of the ingredients on hand. Quick dinner with some fruit. I used plain goat cheese, but the herbed kind would have been even better. Yum!

ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH HERB GOAT CHEESE
Roasting veggies always needs revamping every now and then, and I like to experiment by pairing them with different dressings or cheeses. I happened to love goat cheese and had extra on hand. I paired it with asparagus, and they lived happily ever after.
