Wonderful antipasto platters with asparagus, grilled squash, smoked Gouda and swiss  cheese ......awesome pesto sauce. An all inspiring cheese tart, layered with marinara and Italian herbs and topped w crushed red pepper flakes.

A brunch is nothing without a proper cocktail. Cathead vodka , honeysuckle, with a splash of ginger beer and a twist of lime. Good Sunday. Mississippi Mule

Music
The DJ gave me life. The musical stylings and the live art was also in the spirit of duty for design.

Sweet Potatoes Soufflé Empanadas Recipe

Sweet potatoes soufflé

Sweetened with almond milk and brown sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg. Penelahpes secret ingredient of love. Goya empanadas shells with annatto for coloring.  A spoonful in the center..if filling comes out the side , just take some out. 

Two choices to cook.: 1. Bake them and brush with egg wash before putting them in the oven or fry in hot veggie oil until dough is cooked thoroughly . trial and error... Return to hot oil if need be.
Dust with cinnamon and sugar of your choosing: brown, turbinado, white sugar and yes powered sugar may make n appearance.  When your sweet potato empanadas are finished.

Ice cream is the perfect guest to this mini meal.  My children waited for no such garnish or ice cream, as they bit in and steam left the treat and their mouths... They just jump around blowing vigorously so the next bite would not be delayed.
First, make sure the Goya shells are defrosted. Add mixture into shell.

Fold the shell with mixture in it.
Fold the edges over and repeat.
Prepare a good amount to begin frying.

Now, just wait for them to turn golden brown, then they're ready to cool off and start the next batch.

My experience at the Art Show Tour

Ds ukmarvel I keypunching' One of loves is art. Just seeing people's creativity and trying to imagine their stories is..... Just look. Hearing the creative is delightful. Mybhiuse is always filled with music...iglootew studios is always conjuring.

The only thing these creative art spaces were missing was creative foods to stimulate yet another sense. Penelahpes is always here to feed you.
