Whew....

Where did that week go?

And not a single picture this week - we scarfed all our food down too quickly to mess with photography!

Sunday: empanadas
-We made empanadas stuffed with various combinations of black beans, queso fresco, onions, and red bell pepper.  We fried most of them and baked a few.  While the baked ones were fine (and would be improved by brushing them with oil next time) the fried ones?  Wow.  That was a dangerous little discovery.  So, so good, and pretty easy.  Probably not a weeknight meal, but still, so good.

Monday: mac n cheese
-made from this recipe, using 1/2 mozzarella and 1/2 havarti with dill cheeses, gluten free flour and corn macaroni.

Tuesday: black bean tacos using leftover black beans and corn tortillas made from the last of the empanada dough.

Wednesday: celeriac and potato rosti
-coarsely grate one large potato and one medium celeriac.  mix with enough flour and egg until you think you can press it together to make a patty.  mix in chopped celery and press the whole deal into the pan.  cook over medium to medium high for 5-8 minutes, flip, repeat.  We made two rosti and put the first one in the toaster over at 350 while the second one cooked, and we both enjoyed the baked rosti more than the griddle-only one.  Serve with a mix of plain yogurt, sour cream, and dill.

Thursday: Indian take-out!  yum.  I was looking forward to this all week!
