...and what was in the empanada?

Well, first, I boiled beef cubes in some spices, then peeled them apart. Next, I placed some chopped carrots and peas in the pot and cooked them over a low flame. I boiled some eggs in a seperate pot. I chopped up the boiled eggs (shells taken off  ). I mixed the beef, carrots, peas, and eggs, then placed them in some tortilla disks, folded them into crescent shapes, and pressed the perimeter with a fork. Finally, they went in the oven.

No sabes como a cocinar uno? 

My AlliKat made the yummest healthy Italian dish I have ever tasted the other night! She is becoming quite the cook and I am loving having her cook more! This one she picked out cause it was pretty low in potassium for her as well as being Weight Watchers friendly for me! And it was soooo good! It came from weightwatchers.com so I can't link the source cause you have to have a login to their website for the page to come up...

Roti Chanai for me.

Thanks for the recipe, Yellowsub11!  I'll have to try it.

I had Italian too.Minestrone soup followed by roasted vegetable lasagne

I'm making chili cheese hot dogs and oven baked fries. 

Ran out of taco shells?

Nahh, my gf has limited my taco intake to once a week. 

I'm having chicken starry

Pan fried codfish and Brussels sprouts.

Its grocery night so probably Burger King off the dollar menu.

Junk food.

Devlyn, that looks great. Too bad I don't live close or I'd invite myself to your house for dinner, lol. 

Thanks, Simon! I should have elaborated. The fish was seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, seasoned salt and put in a ziploc  bag with two tablespoons of water. The fish soaked up the brine and sat for fifteen minutes,  then I put a half cup of flour in the bag and shake until the fish is evenly coated and dry. Fry in 1/4 inch of vegetable shortening (Crisco) four minutes to a side over medium to high heat, you have to manage the heat as you go. The sprouts were just steamed.

Turkey stir fry with a teriyaki and garlic sauce over sticky rice.

Prep time, 5 min. Cook time, 10 min then another 10 for the rice.

Chicken panini! I got a panini press from my dad for my birthday. The Sunbeam Panini Press/Grill. I highly recommend it. It comes with drip cups to catch the fat that slides out of this tube on the side and this neat fork, like thing that fits perfectly between the grill lines so you can scrape off some stuck stuck. Use some cooking spray with it for a perfect non-stick cooking. Plus, it cooks both sides at the same time, so I can cook burgers much faster. 

It works so well, and I love it! 

A taco salad.

No, yo soy una gringa mala...post a receta would you senorita ...gracias

Haha, whitey!   

Well, I wrote a basic procedure, but I'm too lazy to type a whole recipe (get enough typing doing my homework  ).

Basically, for the meat, get beef cubes, and then blend 2 cloves of garlic with 1/2 of a large red bell pepper, 1/2 of a large onion, and optional 3/4 cup of tomato sauce. Place this mixture in your beef and boil it with salt and black pepper to your liking.

Follow the rest of my procedure (carrots, peas, and eggs to your liking) and then either fry or bake the filled empanadas. 

Gee, I didn't realize how much spanish I knew until I read this thread .

So I didn't know what I was making tonight until I was finished making it.  I usually call these types of meals concoctions, but this one Imma call italian rice because it's essentially spanish rice but with italian ingredients, well sorta.  Was yum.
