Recipe Of The Day: Fried Ravioli

During the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving many people avoid eating anything heavy simply to save room for the massive amount of goodies they will surely be eating during the numerous feasts most of us have to attend.

Simple dishes during these times are things we should all turn too, such as Fried Ravioli, which will fill you up, keep you warm and still feeling light on your feet.

When the weather makes such a drastic change towards the colder temperatures, people tend to forget to take things to keep themselves warm oftentimes resulting in their getting sick. This dish right here is a sure fire hit because it hits the right spot, keeps you warm and tastes delicious. Nothing warms up the soul better than something perfectly fried that didn’t require to much work to put together.

It should take you no longer than 20 or 30 mins to make to make this entire dish so enjoy it this evening with a cold glass of Moscato.

Empanadas Venezuela

Today Ladies & Gents is National Empanada Day. Nothing bad can be said about Empanadas as they encompass so many great things, a flaky crust wrapped around an uncountable amount of possible fillings, from meats, to fruits to even vegetables these are the original on the go treat used to sustain people who had to endure long journeys where food wasn’t always readily available.

Living in Southern California, if you don’t know what they are, or you haven’t had one, first I must say what rock have you been living under and second why the hell haven’t you tried one?

Today’s Recipe of The Day comes from Venezuela, where Empanadas are commonly found just about everywhere you look. The recipe calls for a simple cut of beef that is broken down by slow cooking which results in tender juicy pieces of perfectly seasoned beef wrapped in a warm flaky crust in every bite.

For those that aren’t up on these great treats, an empanada is a stuffed bread or pastry baked or fried in many countries of Latin America and the south of Europe. The name comes from the verb empanar, meaning to wrap or coat in bread. Empanada’s, are made by folding dough around any firm of stuffing you desire and baking or frying them until they are crispy enough to eat.

The stuffing can consist of a variety of meats, vegetables, or even fruits.

Enjoy a few of these today, this weekend or sometime soon, you have no clue what your missing out on.

Special Request Recipe Of The Day: Spicy Corn Fritters

We recently posted up a recipe (literally only a few minutes ago) for Spicy Lobster Cobb Salad and we got hit up by a faithful reader asking how we could put up a recipe for Cobb Salad if we didn't put up a Corn Fritter recipe?

New to us is the combination of Lobster Cobb Salad & Corn Fritter, but hey who are we to argue with 2 great foods coming together in the name of love? We had to give up our classic Spicy Sweet Corn Fritter recipe, just because these things deserve to be shared with everyone. In fact I think I might even cook up some tonight for anyone who just so happens to slide by the house this evening.

Enjoy and don't burn yourself up with the Sriracha Sauce!!

Denny's Introduces... The Deep Fried Death Sandwich, We Mean Fried Cheese Melt

On August 24th the folks over at Denny's will be adding a few new items to their menus. Amongst them is this lovely bit of deep fried heaven which they call "The Fried Cheese Melt." Literally looking like death warmed over, this sandwich consisting of 4 fried mozzarella sticks housed between a few slices of American cheese, then grilled between two slices of sourdough will hit plates for around $4.00
Now we aren't ones to really bash any brand or company by any means, but after hearing and seeing this thing we were kind of forced to step back and scratch our heads and ask how healthy can this really be? Sure I understand that the public has the option to order a salad if they wish, but this right here, is something that looks to be geared straight for the kids who don't like anything but macaroni and cheese or cheese sticks.
What better way to fill them up quiet them down, than to give em a heart attack?
