Yea, I got totally wrapped up in how good the empanadas tasted that I forgot to take a picture. Anna went all out! She had mini vegetarian ones, baked ones, deep fried ones, gluten free ones, and more! Below is the recipe for the masa empanadas that were fried. The recipe is from the “Empanadas: The Hand-Held Pies of Latin America”cookbook. We should make these for a meal sometime!
Because we are all limited by certain food allergies and preferences, what if we cooked some meals solely based on having to include one ingredient?
For example, say we voted on “include pumpkin” as the meal for next week. We would all then have to find a recipe of something that we wanted to cook with pumpkin in it. This could lead us to very different results like Creamy Pumpkin Pasta Sauce, Pumpkin Cornbread Muffins with Pumpkin Butter Glaze, Pumpkin with White Beans and Bacon, Pumpkin-Leek Soup, and so on, but would allow us all to cook something yummy within our diet and food restrictions.
Of course, this shouldn’t replace making specific meals like enchiladas entirely , but could be an alternative way for us to generate meal ideas and keep it open for everyone to participate in a fun way.
What do you think? Yea or Nah? Too far from what you originally imagined with this Weekly Cook Off?

I’m glad to see the posting is working for you Galen. What did you do to your computer to get it to work? I’m curious.
