Empanadas

I wanted to be sophisticated.

I was fifteen.

I wanted to cook up something fabulous.

I tried making empanadas. I fried them in a greasy skillet. My mom banned me from ever using her kitchen again.

I didn't give up. I tried again when I had my own kitchen.







    

Now I need to try fruit empanadas, I think.

    The old OLD Sunset Mexican cookbook had a recipe very similar to that. I hadn't thought about it in years, but I do love picadillo.

    I love empanadas, and yours look especially delicious. Lucky for me, I have a daughter-in-law who's an excellent cook and makes yummy empanadas (and arepas, too). After seeing your photos, I'm in the mood for Mexican food.
    My Saturday Snapshot post features a hike along the Pratt River Connector Trail.

    Empanadas are very satisfying to make, and perfect receptacles for left-over stew.

      I think every culture has a version of these. They are yummy, with a tangy flavor.
