    Lucinda, I adore those “bubble” glasses in this photo — I’ve seen you use them several times on the show. Please share where we can purchase them!

    LOVE the Mad Hungry show and how you include personal stories, family recipes and your loved ones as assistant chefs! I DVR MH every day!

    I read the ingredients for the beef empanadas. looks like some people have different tastes. not judging, but when i cook ground beef i found that a couple of bay leaves and a seasoned meat tenderizer, makes for delicious meat.would like to try your recipe without sweet ingredients. yolanda
