We love empanadas. They make great apps or they can be a tasty meal when paired with spanish rice and and a salad. These spicy beef empanadas were made using biscuits rather than puff pastry dough. My daughter loved rolling them out and helped me to stuff and crimp them. Delish!

Mangoes are DIVINE!! We especially love chopping them up for fresh salsas. You can buy a store bought mango salsa, but fresh is best…and it truly is not that tough. Add these shrimp, mango and avocado tortillas to your menu this week (I even used frozen shrimp right from the grocery store). I cooked this entire meal on my panini press (even the shrimp) but you can use a regular skillet as well.

I love this rustic Chicken Chili with big chunks of colorful bell peppers, plum roma tomatoes, tender chicken and a sprinkle of spice and basil. If you are looking for something warm, cozy and delish to eat while you are watching those cold Olympic events, definitely check out this recipe.

Looking for a fish fix? Try this out-of-this-world salmon dish. (Shoot - I didn’t crop the fattening fries out the picture!) Thank goodness salmon is loaded with omega-3’s. Soooo easy and soooo good!

This is my family’s favorite pork tenderloin recipe. The sauce is just 3 ingredients which makes it my favorite pork tenderloin recipe. During the winter time, I sear the pork tenderloin in a skillet with olive oil (and sometimes some quartered yukon gold potatoes) over high heat for about 3 - 5 minutes per side. Then I put the entire pork tenderloin and skillet in a 375 degree preheated oven for 25 minutes. Just drizzle the simple sauce on top and you are good to go.

Ice, snow and blustery winds are keeping us indoors with the soup kettle fired up. Last night, I made Ravioli Soup. It was super quick to make and warm and satisfying to eat. We served it with some crusty french bread.

When Matt’s away, I make this souffle. It is light and delish. If he’s home, I add some chopped bacon or ham which is also yummy. I served it up with some greens topped with grapefruit segments and a sweet balsamic dressing. I felt like I was eating at a spa (I wish I was at a spa). The kids got scrambled eggs and toast but they were happy.
