My husband and I spent July 4th Weekend with several of our good friends and their adorable children ranging from 10 months to four years old. Given the great company, it was the perfect time to cook and enjoy meals together.
I made empanadas filled with sauteed beef (seasoned with tomato paste, salt, pepper, parsley, sazon and adobo), grilled corn on the cob, black bean salad, and roasted chicken stuffed with sage, rosemary, and thyme (with all the herbs grown in our garden). I also made a slow roasted pernil (pork shoulder), but too bad there isn't a picture of it. Also missing from the pictures are the burgers my husband made: they were perfectly formed and nicely grilled. Despite the heatwave we are experiencing in NYC right now, I love the summer and its culinary delights.
