</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">A favorite around this house is empanadas. However, I don't always want to drag the mixer and pasta attachment out to make the dough. In fact, I usually don't want to!!! So I decided to experiment with a shortcut. Refrigerated pie crust! Worked like a charm. Hubs and I loved it. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Here's the recipe:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Brown 1 pound ground beef with a small diced red bell pepper, a small diced onion, some minced garlic and a teaspoon or two of ground cumin. Drain off grease and add salt and pepper to taste and a few sprigs of fresh parsley, finely chopped. Set aside to cool.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Roll out 2 refrigerated crusts (1 box thawed). I use Pillsbury. Roll them somewhat thin. Using a 4 or 4 1/2 inch circle (I used my 2 cup measuring cup turned upside down) cut out circles. Put a small amount of the ground beef mix on one half of a circle which has a dab of water wiped around the edge. Fold over and seal the edges, then crimp with a fork. Do this with all the crust circles. Place on a waxed paper lined baking sheet and refrigerate for a short time. Prick each empanada a couple of times with a fork. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Add oil to a Dutch oven, deep enough to fry the empanadas. I used canola oil. Heat to 350 to 360 degrees. Fry a few empanadas at a time for about four minutes or till golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Makes about 14. There will be meat mixture leftover. Serve with desired dips such as fire-roasted salsa, Ranch dip or pineapple salsa.</span></div>

We won the World Series in 1985 and had not been to the playoffs since! Needless to say...Kansas Citians are celebrating.</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hub's very favorite pie is blueberry! Summer rewards us with beautiful, juicy, plump, tasty berries...in spades. This recipe is one I have used for ages and may even have blogged it before, but it bears repeating.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">2 unbaked pie crusts (your favorite recipe or store-bought refrigerated ready-to-roll)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">4 cups fresh, washed and dried thoroughly blueberries</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">3/4 cup sugar</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1/3 cup flour</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1/4 t cinnamon</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">1/4 t nutmeg</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Mix dry ingredients in large bowl. Add the blueberries and mix gently. Pour into an unbaked pie crust (9" pie pan). Top with the other crust. Brush with egg and sprinkle lightly with sugar. Cut slits to vent. Put pie pan on a cookie sheet...filling WILL bubble out! Bake at 400 degrees for 50 minutes. Let cool. Slice and top with vanilla ice cream. Soooooo yummy. </span></div>
