by Rebecca September 9, 2020
written by Rebecca

Prep: 40 mins | Cook: 20 mins | Total: 1 hr | Servings: 12 | Yield: 12 empanada

My mom makes the best empanada. She has her recipe and I have mine. I am about to share with her this amazing Mexican Pumpkin Empanada recipe that I found a few weeks ago. Pretty simple, not fussy, and darn delicious! I am a hundred percent sure that she’ll love these empanadas. So good, it blew my mind!

INGREDIENTS

3 cups all-purpose flour

⅓ cup white sugar

1 ½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon baking powder

1 cup vegetable shortening

1 cup of warm water

4 cups canned pure pumpkin

2 large eggs

1 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger

½ teaspoon ground cloves

1 beaten egg

HOW TO MAKE MEXICAN PUMPKIN EMPANADAS

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F or 175 degrees C.

Step 2: Use a parchment paper to line the baking sheets.

Step 3: Add the flour, 1/3 cup of sugar, 1 1/2 tsp of salt, and baking powder in a large bowl. Whisk well. Add in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add in the water, about 2 tablespoons at a time. Stir until you can gather the dough together.

Step 4: Knead the dough several times in a bowl. And scrape the dough out onto a floured surface. Divide the dough in quarters and cut each into thirds to create 12 equal portions. Roll each into balls and cover them with a cloth. Let the balls rest until you are done making the filling.

Step 5: In a bowl, add in the pumpkin, 2 eggs, a cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Mix until smooth.

Step 6: On a floured surface, roll the dough out about 6 inches across into a thin circle. Put about 1/3 cup of the filling into the middle of the dough circle.

Step 7: Make half-moon shaped pie by folding the dough over the filling. With a fork, crimp the edges of the crust, leaving small fork lines in the dough.

Step 8: On the prepared baking sheets, gently lay the empanadas. Then, brush the top of the pies with a beaten egg.

Step 9: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes until the filling is hot and the crusts are shiny and browned.

Baking spray with flour

3/4 (6 oz.) cup unsalted butter

1 (4-oz.) 70% bittersweet chocolate baking bar, chopped

2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 tablespoon red food coloring gel (such as Super Red)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 1/2 (6 3/8 oz.) cups all-purpose flour

1/3 (1 1/8 oz.) cup unsweetened cocoa

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

For the Cream Cheese Swirl:

2 large egg whites

1 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese softened

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour

1 teaspoons vanilla extract

HOW TO MAKE RED VELVET CHEESECAKE BROWNIES

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F.

Step 2: To make the batter, grease with cooking spray a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Use a parchment paper to line the bottom and sides of the dish, making sure to leave 2 to 3-inch overhang on each side. Then, lightly grease the parchment paper with baking spray.

Step 3: In a large microwavable bowl, add the butter and chocolate. Microwave on high for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Whisk in the sugar and add in the eggs, one at a time, whisking every after each addition until just blended. Add in the food coloring and vanilla and whisk.

Step 5: To make the Cream Cheese Swirl, add the egg whites, cream cheese, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Mix with an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment for about 2 minutes on medium speed until smooth. Add in the flour and vanilla. Continue beating on low speed for about a minute until combined.

Step 6: In large tablespoons, drop the Cream Cheese Swirl into the batter. Using a knife, gently swirl to make a marble effect.

Step 7: Place inside the preheated oven and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 8: Remove from the oven and allow the brownie to cool in the baking sheet on a wire rack for at least an hour.

CHARLEY’S SLOW COOKER MEXICAN STYLE MEAT

by Rebecca September 9, 2020
written by Rebecca

Prep: 30mins | Cook: 8hrs | Additional: 20 mins | Total: 8 hrs 50 mins | Servings: 12 | Yield: 12 servings

Perfect in every way! This dish is all you need for a quick and easy meal. Amazing to use with just about anything, but I love it personally with nachos, burritos, and salad. Outrageously mouthwatering and darn delicious!

INGREDIENTS

1 (4 lbs) chuck roast

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large onion, chopped

1 ¼ cups diced green chile pepper

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

1 (5 oz) bottle hot pepper sauce

1 teaspoon garlic powder

HOW TO MAKE CHARLEY’S SLOW COOKER MEXICAN STYLE MEAT

Step 1: Remove any excess fat from the roast, then, season with salt and pepper.

Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef and quickly brown on each side.

Step 3: Then, move the roast into a slow cooker and top it with chopped onion. Season with chile peppers, chili powder, cayenne pepper, hot pepper sauce, and garlic powder. Pour enough water to at least cover 1/3 of the roast.

Step 4: Cook the roast on top for about 6 hours, covered. See if there is a little amount of water remained in the bottom of the cooker before adjusting the heat to low. Continue to cook for another 2 to 4 hours or until the meat is tender ad falling apart.

Step 5: Place the cooked roast into a bowl and use 2 forks to shred the meat. Making sure to reserve 2 cups of cooking liquid if you prefer.

Step 6: Serve the shredded roast in tacos or burritos. Enjoy!

NOTES:

If using the meat for burritos, first shred the meat, then, put it in a frying pan with a cup of liquid. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce is thick.

Grab a freeze-proof container, add in the reserved cups of cooking liquid along with the meat. Place inside the fridge to freeze or microwave for up to 6 months. Thaw when ready to cook.

This recipe works perfectly with pork and chicken, too. Just cut the skin before cooking and adjust to high and cook for 4 hours or low to cook for 8 hours. After cooking, cut the bones and shred the meat.

FRIED DANDELIONS (APPALACHIAN STYLE)

by Rebecca September 8, 2020
written by Rebecca

Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 10mins | Total: 30 mins | Servings: 8 | Yield: 8 servings

Fried Dandelions? I never heard about it since this. I never thought that frying the biggest dandelions is possible. I mean dandelions? I read about this many times and never thought I would give this a try one day. I am glad I did because I would never have tasted how good these are!

INGREDIENTS

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons seasoned salt

1 tablespoon ground black pepper

4 large eggs

80 flowers unopened dandelion blossoms stems removed

½ cup butter

HOW TO MAKE FRIED DANDELIONS (APPALACHIAN STYLE)

Step 1: In a medium mixing bowl, add flour, pepper, and seasoned salt. Whisk until well mixed.

Step 2: In another medium mixing bowl, add in the eggs. Beat until creamy then add in the dandelion blossoms. Coat them well with the beaten eggs.

Step 3: Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium.

Step 4: Add in the butter and allow it to melt.

Step 5: Remove half of the coated dandelions from the bowl and remove the excess eggs.

Step 6: Toss in the dandelions into the flour mixture and coat them evenly. Pat the coated dandelions to remove the excess flour.

Step 7: Add in the dandelions into the skillet and cook for 5 minutes or until the color turns golden brown. Stir from time to time to prevent burning.

Step 8: Place the cooked dandelions on a clean plate lined with a paper towel. Repeat this method to the rest of the coated dandelions.

Step 9: Serve and enjoy!

NOTES: 

Always prepare the dandelions before your cooking. Submerge them in a bowl with water and 1 tablespoon of salt then let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. This process gets rid of the insects inside the blossom. Rinse with running water and they are ready for cooking.

Only use dandelions with tubular stalk.

I use vegetable oil or canola oil. Either way works perfectly well with dandelions. Season it with spices or just simply garlic powder for more additional flavor.
