BRIE Bites

I love to bake and Pinterest is the best place for recipe ideas, a couple of weeks ago we were heading to a friends and need to bring an appetizer. So I headed over to Pinterest and picked this yummy brie bite recipe from my board cause who can resist cheese and puff pastry!

Ingredients

Brie ( I used the log cause it was so much easier to cut )
Puff pastry
Can of Cranberry Sauce


Instructions

1 Cut thawed puff pastry in squares and place in greased muffin tin
2 Cube brie cheese and place 3 or 4 pieces in center of puff pastry
3 Add a teaspoon of Cranberry Sauce on top
4 Bake at 325 until golden brown

Since the brie needs to be cubed this was easiest less messy way since Brie is so soft

Squares of Puff Pastry placed in Muffin tin 

Add the cubed Brie 

Teaspoon of Cranberry and they are ready for oven!

Well I wish I had the finished result but they were eaten up before I even had a chance! Absolutely the best wine night appetizer!

XOXO

1 Cup peanut butter
1/2 cup butter
8 cups rice chex cereal
Box powdered sugar

Allow to cool 3 min
Pour generous amount of powder sugar into a gallon ziploc
Put half the cereal coated in chocolate in ziploc pour more sugar on top of cereal
Close Ziploc and shake until the cereal is all coated with sugar

Blueberry Muffins

I love blueberry muffins and I am always trying to find the perfect recipe and I finally found it. Its easy to make and doesn't require too many ingredients.

 BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

1/2 cup butter

1 cup sugar + 1 tablespoon for topping

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

2 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. 

In a medium mixing bowl, cream together butter and 1 cup sugar.  Add eggs and mix well. Stir in milk. 

Combine dry ingredients  in another bowl then add this into the creamed mixture.  Mix to combine.  Gently fold in blueberries. 

Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.  Sprinkle tops with the 1 tablespoon of sugar. Bake for about 20 minutes. 

I usually find it easiest to lay out all the ingredients first that way I don't forget anything 

Ready to EAT!!!

I love this recipe given to me by my friend Lexi and even better my picky hubby does too!!

Pumpkin Cheesecake Cupcakes

I found this recipe a few years back and I had always wanted to try it, so this thanksgiving I gave it a try and I was pleasantly surprised. First of all my husband loved them which says a lot since I love to bake and he rarely loves the results..( not because I am terrible baker but because he is a super picky eater)

Pumpkin Cheesecake Cupcakes

 



 

They were delicious not too sweet not to pumpkin the perfect mix, I would skip the frosting next time and opt for just a simple buttercream but overall great recipe.

Cinnamon Rolls

Last Year my best friend gave me a recipe for butter rolls that they have been having at their thanksgiving forever. It was a lot of work its all from scratch but I am always up for a challenge. I can't begin describe how worth every moment of prep it is these butter rolls are AMAZING. I have included the recipe below...Now what happened next was a conversation about mmm these might make good cinnamon rolls...and no fail they are amazing too. So my advice make the butter rolls per recipe and then take half the dough and put it back in the fridge for cinnamon rolls the next morning!!!

 

Honestly the best rolls just as butter rolls on thanksgiving and then next morning as cinnamon rolls!

PB&J Bars

Now that Fall is here and the temperatures are more manageable I can get back to what I really enjoy baking. And since I work full time the best day for baking is sunday and that's how sunday sweets came about I try every sunday to make something sweet for my hubby. This week I am tried a new recipe...

I used to think I would re write recipes and have this great neatly organized book but I have found that the best option is page protectors and a binder!

Can't live without my Kitchen Aid mixer

turned out gooey and tasted just like a PB&J definitely a good recipe!
