A Trick And A Recipe

Before I hand out my trick (something I picked up I'm not quite sure where) let me explain why I needed it. Lately we have been taken over by dirty dishes. I do a full load of dishes everyday and yet still I turn around and there are still stacks more. Doing one load is hard enough with a little one, if he isn't "helping me" by pulling the dirty dishes out and putting them in his mouth then he is off and crawling finding something as equally disgusting to put in his mouth. So this makes doing the dishes time consuming and just plain hard! So to say I have let a pan sit overnight and get dried caked on food stuck to it would be an understatement. So here is my trick- take a used dryer lint sheet and put it in the pot and fill with hot water, let it sit for and hour and viola!! Dump out your pot and everything slides out. It's amazing!

I love leftover makeover recipes. Anything I can cook once and make twice is a winner in my book. I stumbled upon this recipe for a roasted turkey leftover meal and I loved it. (I'm a bad blogger and I need to get better at taking pictures when I do things) it is also dairy free, soy free & gluten free. Happy eating!

Turkey & Poblano Chili

Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 poblano pepper, chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
2 15.5-ounce cans kidney beans, rinsed
kosher salt and black pepper
2 cups shredded roasted turkey or chicken
tortilla chips (optional)

Directions
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.
Add the onion and poblano and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to soften, 4 to 6 minutes; stir in the cumin.
Add the tomatoes (with their juice), the beans, 2 cups water, 1¼ teaspoons salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 12 to 15 minutes.
Add the turkey and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips, if desired.
