I asked the Hubby what he wanted me to make for dinner and he said, "Penelopes!" I'm thinking,
huh? He proceeds to describe the mysterious food item and it dawns on me...
empanadas... yes, I see the similarity. We had a good laugh over that one. Now it's our joke and he's got me saying it too.
Side note: a few readers have asked me to put the text of recipes into the posts and to keep showing the step by step photos. So, I happily complied. Since this is really two recipes in one, this post will be quite lengthy. If you'd prefer to skip all the photos and details, jump right over to the condensed (and printer friendly!) versions on my recipage,

This is my first attempt at making Penelopes, er, Empanadas. We had them at a party a few weeks ago and they were so good, I knew I had to recreate them. With my own twist, of course. These aren't just any old chicken stuffed into a piece of store bought pie crust run of the mill empanadas... no sir...
