Chili, the Second Time Around

 from HL Carpenter

Stretching leftovers is always a good plan, especially now with our over-the-top food bills.  

So, you’ve prepared yourfavorite chili recipe. Friends and family said yum! Now you have leftovers, butnot enough to feed everyone another meal. Here’s a tasty trick.

Buy a yam or a sweetpotato for each member in the family. While the taters are microwaving, heatthe leftover chili. When the sweet potatoes are done, place on individualplates slice open long-ways and fluff. Spoon the heated chili on top of eachpotato.

Before you say, “Yuk,”fork up a taste of this sweet, spicy savory combo. You may need more leftovers.

Enjoy!

Once upon a time there was a mother/daughter author dup named Helen and Lorri, who wrote as HL Carpenter. the Carpenters worked from their studios in Carpenter Country, a magical place that, like their stories was unreal but not untrue. Then one day Lorri left her studio to explore the land of What-If, and like others who have lost a loved one the magical place lost much of its magic. But thanks to family, plus an amazing group of wordsmiths named Authors Moving Forward (AMF), the magic is slowly returning.

Helen Carpenter loves liking and sharing blog posts from other authors. She lives in Florida and appreciates every day, especially those without hurricanes.
