Jack Quesadillas with Cranberry Salsa


Salsa:
1 Cup whole-berry cranberry sauce
1/4 Cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pear, cored and finely diced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

combine and chill

Quesadillas:
1/4 Cup sliced green onions
1 Cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
8 flour tortillas
2 Cups chopped cooked turkey

serve prepared quesadillas with Cranberry Salsa and sour cream

I look forward to these as much as I do Thanksgiving dinner itself!


P.S.

I walked out on the job this weekend. I announced that I was done being the mom.

"When will you be home?" one asked.

"I don't know."

"Where are you going?"

"I don't know, but if you get hungry fix yourselves something. If you need something done, do it."

I returned to a clean home and obedient, cheerful children.

I guess they didn't want to fire me . . .

too much job security.

That's great! I also wanted to quit at one point during the weekend but I only went to my room and locked my door....not nearly effective enough. Next time you quit will you pick me up??

Ha ha, you could have just told me to check your blog when I asked for the recipe! Didn't mean to double your work. I LOVED the cranberry salsa. I can't wait to make some!

My Mom quit a couple of times. My Dad told us she ran away to the circus. I guess she thought it would be easier. We were always VERY relieved when she came back.
