Fall Brie En Croute

Here's a super easy way to make a Brie en Croute that adds in all the goodies of our fall season.  It takes about 5 minutes to prep.

Ingredients:
1 can of crescent roll dough
8 oz wheel of Brie
1/3 C chopped pecans
1 T butter
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 C dried cranberries
1/4 C brown sugar
1 egg, beaten

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Soak cranberries in water for a minute or two to take the edge off, then drain and pat dry.
3. In a small sauce pan, melt the butter.  Stir in pecans and cinnamon, toasting for 3 minutes.
4. Roll out crescent dough on a cookie sheet.  Place Brie, toasted pecans, cranberries, and brown sugar on top.  Wrap crescent dough around the goodness.
5. Brush top and sides of dough with beaten egg.
6. Bake for 15-20, or until nicely baked and browned.

Cranberry Feta Pinwheels

Here's another super easy recipe.

My mom has made a variety of pinwheels throughout the years, and when I saw this recipe I thought of her and decided it was nicely Fall-ish with all the right ingredients to be delicious!

I didn't add any milk to make my cream cheese "spreadable."  It was already soft and seemed pointless.   I did use a mixer, however, to mix all of the ingredients well.

I used both regular flour tortillas and the garden herb wrap tortillas.  I loved the garden herb - it smelled and tasted yummy!

Spread it thick, leaving two opposite edge dry since you'll be cutting them off anyway to make even pinwheels.

Then, wrap in plastic wrap and put in the fridge until you're ready to use them.

Cut them, make them pretty, serve them up.  Even though I'm not a Feta fan, AT ALL, I really though that all of the different tastes complimented each other well.
