Recipe: Cuban-Style Picadillo Empanadas from "The Salty Cubana"
CBSN
April 8 is National Empanada Day – the perfect excuse for this savory recipe for Cuban-Style Picadillo Empanadas, shared with "Sunday Morning" readers by Nashville-based chef Rita Martinez, a.k.a "The Salty Cubana."
A first-generation Cuban American, Martinez was raised in Miami, Florida, in the heart of Little Havana. She told "CBS Sunday Morning," "I was so fortunate to be surrounded by my culture growing up; it's something I'm very proud of. If you wanted a snack there were always empanadas around.
"I learned to make empanadas with my grandmothers. Homemade empanadas were a rare occasion because they were a labor of love. As a child, empanadas, to me, they take me home – the crunch, the savoriness, the saltiness of it all. It just gives you that feeling of comfort of home."

Seems that there is always a lot going on behind the walls of the White House where truth can often be stranger than fiction. But fiction can be pretty compelling, too. In the new novel "The First Gentleman" (to be published June 2 by Little, Brown & Co.), the commander in chief is a woman, and her husband is accused of murder. It's the third collaboration from best-selling author James Patterson and his co-writer, President Bill Clinton.
