'Tis the season of busy busy, rush rush. I know. I'm living it as well, though trying to find a bit of balance by curling up with the cats and watching A Charlie Brown Christmas. During the upcoming crazy Christmas season it's important to plans meals ahead and eat well. Gotta keep your strength up to fight the crowds. For my latest article in Culinaire Magazine I made empanadas - basically a savoury turnover - with a traditional beef filling. Don't be scared by the addition of olives and figs. It's a winner! I know making pastry freaks some of you out, but don't be afraid. If I can do it, so can you. These little turnovers are super tasty when dunked into salsa and sour cream, and they also make great on-the-go snacks to take with you on road trips or to the hockey rink. Did I mention they freeze super well, too? Just pop in the oven to reheat and there's your light supper. Head on over here for the recipe. You can pretend you're waltzing down the streets of Buenos Aires, instead of shuffling kids to the rink.
Oh yum I love savory portable pastry!
