Chicken Empanadas
An empanada is a small, handheld pie that has roots well, all over the place. South America, Central America, Spain, The Middle East, they all have their variations so I’m surprised I haven’t given them a go before. Thanks Great-Grandma Mary for the inspiration!
Red Wine Portobello
Grandma Joyce was a practical lady. She enjoyed cooking, but, I think she enjoyed simple and quick meals the most. This makes a lot of her recipes great for most everyday cooks as they don’t have time to sit back and watch their dough rise, let alone watch their water boil. What I love about her recipes is that they include mostly fresh ingredients but they rarely include a long list. These are perfect simple, weeknight meals. If you make them a few times you might even stop relying on the recipe. Being able to wing it is so liberating!
Haole
This recipe from Great-Grandma Mary’s stash is called Hoale, and the headline says, “Haole Makes Meal”. Haole is a term that means, all things not Hawaiian. I don’t know as much as I’d like to about Hawaiian food, so I don’t know what modern day Hawaiians would say about his recipe. Let me know if you’ve got any insight!
Balboa Island Curry Sauce
Balboa Island is where both Grandma Joyce and Great-Grandma Mary spent their summers. They would sit on the tiny little patios and watch walkers pass by on the boardwalk, boaters sail through the channel and grand kids dig in the sand.
