You gotta love those last minute homework projects that our children spring on us at the last minute. “Oh, by the way Mom, I have to make a Spanish dish and bring samples of it to my class tomorrow”. Oh really?!? Well, good thing my daughter knows how to cook because I sent her to the kitchen with a recipe and let her work some magic. It worked out that I hadn’t planned anything for dinner so we got to enjoy her Empanada’s for dinner that night. Empanada dough is a basic pie crust recipe that has baking powder in it. It’s a little denser of a dough but is easy to work with and fun to fill with any of your favorite fillings. I happened to have some shredded chicken from a previous crock pot meal and so we just seasoned the chicken with some spices and threw that in the dough. You know me and my love for sauce, so I had to add the Chipotle Aioli for dipping. The two combined together were a really fun, and surprisingly easy, meal for a busy weeknight. The kids loved dipping these and thought they were fun little hot pockets. Phew! Another home work assignment behind us. Who is excited for summer? I sure am! 🙂
