Last week, I hosted a little celebration for our office receptionist. She’s leaving us for medical school, despite my pleas otherwise. She loves Mexican food, so I tried a few new recipes.
Pork Picadillo Empanadas with Chipotle Salsa:
I made my favorite guacamole recipe from Ina Garten. I also baked my regular brownie recipe, but I added a teaspoon of cinnamon and a diced chipotle pepper. Lanis made her famous lemon bars.
I served margaritas, too! It was a great menu–I’ll use a lot these recipes again. I’d highly recommend the black bean dip and the brownie trick. Both were delicious.

Get ready for a mass exodus, Rebecca. Your going-away parties are liable to make people want to do whatever it takes to have one . . . .
