I usually hate frozen meat. I think it's the air fryer. Definitely worth bringing attention to

Lol I commented on this actually. I usually go out for my lunch break to let my dogs out since I live nearby. When I came back the whole office and display area smelled like peppers lol.

It was gone this morning, so I don't feel bad!

Hopefully that all makes sense. Like I said, I just kinda winged it. I think if I did it again I would drop some serranos and maybe do a jalapeño instead. It's good if you like spicy food, but was a bit much for those who didn't 😅.

Add 2 cans of northern white beans and white kidney beans. Then just let it sit in more for a few hours. It's mostly all cooked at this point, you're really just softening the bell peppers and marrying the flavors.

Dice 2 onions and 2 green bell peppers. Use 2 lbs of lean ground turkey.

Brown on high heat, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, onion powder while cooking.

Once browned, put the onion/peppers until soft. Put a bit of the pepper water to deglaze.

Now place all in a crock pot.

Skin the poblanos and blend. That pretty much gets you the sauce.

Set 4 poblanos to roast until black, then place in bag to steam.

Boil 6 serranos, 16 tomatillos, 1 white onion, 6 garlic cloves. Blended when they changed color.

Added 2 spoonfuls of chicken bouillon, handful cilantro, 4 limes, bit of oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, msg accent to taste.

I actually winged it completely. First time making it. Came out good, but spicy. Let me see if I can write out how I got there. I basically just made two batches of salsa verde and added it all to a crock pot. There is some finicky stuff though. Sec

I was overzealous making this. I literally just ate a chunk wide enough to have one meatball and was like .... I think I made a mistake lmao. We still have like half the sandwich left.

I'm getting the ball rolling on #1.

#2 I actually had several people offer the help, which I intend to take them up on the offer once I feel like I have a feel for how to continue.

#3 heard. I've made posts, but you're absolutely right. Familiarity is going to be what brings trust.

That's a good idea, but my little town is filled with a lot of older people. Rural as well. I feel like that might go over their head, but that's a very good point for anybody replicating this in a city!

I started a Facebook group that's called a "Mealshare". The idea is that if you know you have left overs, or you want to donate ingredients, or just feel like being nice and buying somebody a meal, you can post an offer and those in need can connect via DM.

Like an online food pantry, essentially.

Yeah, I just need to break the ice and let people know it's cool. My boss gave me a cabinet I can retro in to a drop off. Just need to put some time and get some posts. I do have another fridge, but that might be too big. Would also be worried it would inevitably get stolen

That's a neat point. I'm going to brainstorm a bit on this.

I'm up to 51 members so far, and have been reached out to by multiple other groups doing similar things.

Love the momentum.

I've never heard of that soup. Do you have a recipe you use as a base? My wife loves bean soups :o.

Both have chimichurri sauce. One of them had a seasoning mixed in with heavy roast garlic chunks.

One was served over a grilled toastini thing, the other was served with casava flour crisps. It was seasoned as well. It kind of reminded me of garlic flavored panko.
