Patri of the blog, Asi Son Los Cosas, was our September 2012 Daring Bakers' hostess and she decided to tempt us with one of her family's favorite recipes for Empanadas! We were given two dough recipes to choose from and encouraged to fill our Empanadas as creatively as we wished!
We went on a late summer vacation to a warm climate with palm lined beaches to take some much needed time off. Right before we left, I harvested the last of the Burbank tomatoes and most of the heirlooms. I did cook a big pot of pasta sauce, which I canned, but I ran out of time so I went the quick and easy route which was to dice and freeze the remaining tomatoes.
This is our adorable new neighbor Koa. He moved in next door about a month ago and already he's grown several inches.
