Mushroom and Potato Bourekas

My mom found this bourekas recipe and made it for us over the holiday weekend. So good! Bourekas are Turkish, apparently.

Potato Latkes

Jessica made latkes last night (the first night of Chanukah) using this Martha Stewart recipe. They were awesome! We still have leftovers, which are delicious right out of the fridge. (Note: These are not to be confused with the meal worm cakes we accidentally bought in Vietnam. Oops.)

Thanksgiving Turkey Tacos

Last week Jessica made turkey tacos with cranberry ginger chutney.

Ingredients:
leftover turkey from T-giving (or cutlets)
tortillas
Swiss cheese
olive oil

Chutney:
1 bag cranberries
1 cup water
1/2 to 1 cup sugar (depending on desired sweetness)
1 ginger root
5 splashes red wine vinegar
1/2 cup chopped scallions
pepper

Add water, cranberries and sugar to pot and bring to boil. Add ginger, red wine vinegar and stir occasionally at a simmer. Add scallions, season with pepper and continue stirring until chutney thickens. For tacos, spread chutney onto whole tortilla. Put turkey onto half of tortilla and cover with Swiss cheese. Fold in half. Drizzle and rub olive oil on both sides of taco. Broil on high on lower rack until golden and crispy. Flip and continue broiling until golden on second side and cheese is oozing. Devour.
