empanadas and a mexican supper club

On Friday I made empanadas (EM-panadas) for our mexican-themed supper club.  They were super hard work - I made the dough beforehand (butter, flour, cream cheese) and refrigerated that overnight.  On Friday after I got home from work my parents (who were at our place watching Caleigh) chipped in on the hard work and we rolled, cut, filled (with apple pie filling), sealed, sprinkled (with cinnamon sugar), and baked about 30 empanadas.  It took forever!  I am sure I couldn't have done it alone and although they were good, I am sure I won't be making them again.  We ate them with vanilla ice cream.  Here are a few of the leftovers...
I realized I have never done a blog about our supper club but I LOVE it!  We get together with 7 other couples the first Friday evening of every month at 7:30 to enjoy a meal together.  We started last December and it has been a fun time of fellowship and getting to know several godly couples so much better.  (and we have had some great food!)
