Dinner tonight

I've been cooking up a storm since yesterday for a dinner party tonight. We're having some of Federico's friends over (finally!). While this meal isn't totally anti-inflammatory, I'm trying to have more vegetables woven into dishes, less fat, and minimal gluten.

Here is the menu:

Baked chicken empanadas with homemade salsa - filling includes roasted poblano chiles, potatos, carrots, and chicken

Red chicken enchiladas - totally from scratch! The red sauce has roasted ancho and guajillo chiles. The filling has poached chicken, roasted zucchini, and red-skinned potatos.

Black beans - a Veracruzan recipe from Zarela Martinez with organic butter and onions

Agua fresca de jamaica sweetened with agave - my special secret recipe with an array of spices

Dessert - Hagen Daz mango sorbet (not homemade!) and an agave vegan ice cream for me and Seraphin's wife, who is diabetic.

Photos will come later...
