Apple Brie Rolls

    My uncle is a complete food junkie, so when I found this recipe on Pinterest, I knew I had to make it. This is an incredibly easy recipe and cheats because you use pre-made crescent rolls (although, in theory, you could make your own crescent dough).

Apple Brie Rolls:
  Ingredients:
  • 16 slices of brie
  • 1 apple
  • 16 candied pecans 
  • 2 tubes of crescent rolls
   Instructions:
  1. Unwrap and separate all of the rolls and lay out on a cutting board
  2. Peel, core, and slice the apple:
  3. Cut each slice of brie in half and get the pecans out:
  4. Stack a piece of cheese, apple, cheese, apple, and end with pecans:
  5. Place a cheese stack on each crescent and roll it:



    (Be sure to seal the edges)
  6. Place in a preheated 350 degree oven for abou 10 minutes, or until slightly browned:
  7. Enjoy!

World's Fudgiest Brownies

       This is a random recipe that I found on allrecipes.com and since the first time I tried it, it has become the new family brownie recipe.  Exactly the kind of recipe that should be passed on from generation to generation.  The chocolate chips add small fudgy chunks to every bite of brownie making them perfectly chocolaty and delicious!

World's Fudgiest Brownies:
   Ingredients:
  • 4 ounces unsweetened chocolate 
  • 1 cup butter, cubed
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
   Instructions:
  1. Place butter and chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second increments until both chocolate and butter are melted:
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, and vanilla until sugar has mostly dissolved and the mixture is a light lemony color:
  3. Whisk in the flour stirring only as much as necessary.  Add chocolate mixture whisking continuously 
  4. Using a rubber spatula, add chocolate chips:
  5. Pour into a casserole pan lined with wax paper and place in a preheated 350 degree oven for 55 to 65 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out with moist crumbs on it:
  6. Remove from oven and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes:
