S'more bites

For dessert tonight I whipped up these. Graham cracker crust, a cut up Milky Way that I had in my work bag, and mini marshmallows. Broiled them(I toasted the graham cracker crust by themselves). Topped with toasted coconut and a drizzle of chocolate. Super fast and easy.

Cinnamon bun fake out

I was just so proud of myself so had to share. In trying to use things we had in the cupboard, we have to Carmel monkey bread mixes. I'm not a big fan of the Carmel monkey bread and rolling out all the balls is just too much for me. So I got the idea to try to make cinnamon buns with the mix. After consulting with my personally baking expert, I proceed to make the sweet yeast bread, let it rise, roll it out, top with some butter, the sugar mixture the mix comes with and some walnuts. Roll it up, cut it up, top with a little more sugar mixture and walnuts. I put mine in the fridge over night, got up at 6 and put it in the counter to rise some more. After about an hour and half, Drizzle a little honey on them,popped them in a 350 oven for 30 mins and wala!! Yum!!

Baked wrapped Brie

-package of phyllo dough or crescent dough
-caramelized onions
-wheel or wedge of Brie
-honey
-s&p

Place wedge of Brie on an appropriate sized piece of dough. Top with caramelized onions and a drizzle of honey.
Fold dough up and around the Brie, enclosing everything. I flipped it over at this point but I think next time I would leave the seams up in hopes that no Brie would leak out and if it did it would just baste the dough.
Top with a drizzle if honey and salt and pepper.
Bake at 350 for 10 mins. Serve with crackers, veggies, or crust bread!! Yum!!

Buffalo Chicken Tacos

I was telling Brynn I was making these for dinner. Very good. I bought chicken thighs with skin on and roasted the chicken. Took them out of the oven, peeled off the skin and put the skin back in the oven to crisp more. Tore up chicken and tossed with buffalo sauce. Fry up taco shells(key!) shredded chicken, slaw of shredded carrots and celery, blue cheese sauce, and top with crispy chicken skin(fat kid in me!)
So good!
