South of the Boarder Smothered Corn on the Cob

I can't even!  This is absolutely the tasty thing ever, and here's the

recipe just in time for your Cinco de Mayo celebrations 

and backyard picnics and cookouts. 

What you need:

cooked corn on the cob, set to room temperature (make in advance, chill)

Hellman's mayonnaise 

chipotle chili powder (sub chili powder, if you want flavor but no heat)

queso fresco (a chunk that can crumble)

On a prep surface, crumble queso fresco.

Mix the mayonnaise with the chipotle chili powder (make it

as spicy as you want.  I did 1/4 cup mayonnaise to 1 & 1/2 tsp powder)

Spread the mayonnaise onto the cooled corn (1-2 Tablespoons),

covering the surface.  Then roll in the crumbled cheese. 

Messy, but worth it. 

Seriously, this is ridiculous!  The sweet of the corn balances so 

nicely with the tang and spice of the chipotle mayonnaise and

the crumble cheese coating brings it all together!

xo.

Curried Turkey Salad

Thanksgiving dinner is my favorite meal of the year.  I have been menu planning that day, since about 3rd grade (my friends can confirm this), but if I had to load up one more plate of  leftovers I would  lose my mind (or cookies).  Yet, I don't want to waste that delicious bird I labored over.  So for lunch today, I put the turkey to new use and it is DELICIOUS (and wicked protein packed, for those of you who care about that).
 

 2 cups cooked turkey breast

1 cup full fat Greek yogurt

1 T curry powder

3 T agave nectar

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/4 cup dried cranberries (or raisins)

3 T. finely chopped raw onion

Mix Greek yogurt  (it is already strained, but I set it in a few coffee filters to 

get a bit more moisture off.  For sure use the full fat and Greek yogurt, 

as the lighter versions will make this watery) with the curry powder, agave 

nectar and sea salt.  

Then stir in the turkey (or chicken breast...whatever you have on hand), 

dried cranberries and chopped onion. 

Garnish with sea salt roasted (or raw) cashews and serve on a 

bed of greens or pop it in a sandwich!

YUM!!!  Put those leftovers to work!!!
