These mini quesadillas with melted Brie cheese, pear, cranberries and hazelnuts make the perfect bite-sized appetizer at only 57 calories apiece. As much as I love a good cookie at Christmastime, it’s really about the Brie. In fact, it’s a little too much about the Brie sometimes (says my jeans, not my heart). It was…
3-Ingredient Brie & Cranberry Phyllo Turnovers Recipe
Brie cheese and cranberry sauce are tucked into phyllo dough to make irresistibly flaky and cheesy appetizer turnovers. Thanks to Athens Foods for sponsoring this post and helping me to share this recipe with you. I think I would be breaking some sort of politically correct holiday rule if admitted that one of my favorite…
Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe with Brie, Pear & Hazelnuts
There’s nothing quite as comforting as a grilled cheese sandwich on a cold day. This vegetarian version pairs gooey, melted Brie cheese with sweet pears, toasted hazelnuts and arugula. Whenever I make a grilled cheese sandwich, I get a sudden craving for a bowl of soup, preferably tomato. This certainly is born straight from the…
Onion & Bacon Marmalade Recipe
One can never have too many appetizer and hors d’oeuvres recipes. At least that’s how my mind works. I would much rather sit down to a tableful of many little dishes than a large meal of one meat, one carb and one vegetable. This is one of the many reasons that I am determined to…

Turkey, Brie, Pear & Cherry Chipotle Panini Recipe, Plus A Story of Gratitude
Have no fear, this post will indeed be about Thanksgiving feast leftovers. In fact, it will be about a panini sandwich, filled with turkey, oozing melted Brie cheese, sweet pear, and a sauce with a sweet kick – a mixture of cherry jam and smoky chipotle peppers, to be exact. However, I ask you to…
Brie Cheese & Balsamic Caramelized Onion Whole Wheat Flatbread Recipe
I haven’t decided whether or not to be proud of the fact that I could chronicle all of the scores, key plays, colors of cheerleaders’ uniforms, and end zone celebration dance moves that occurred during the NFL playoff games this weekend. After watching four football games over the past 48 hours, my eyes have turned…
Pan-Fried Brie Cheese with Persimmon Salsa Canapés Recipe
Sometimes it takes a village to develop a new recipe. To start, an email in my inbox loudly proclaimed “Free Brie cheese”. I was sold right there. I didn’t know what was required to get the free cheese. Base-jump from the Sears Tower? Crawl across a bridge writhing with snakes? Sit through 8 hours of…
Baked Brie & Strawberries
We have spent the last week in the eastern Sierra Mountains in northern California. It has been a week filled with fresh mountain air and outdoor activities. We have fished, hiked, rock-climbed, cycled, swam, and relaxed. Of course, we have been able to enjoy the lively Fourth of July activities that a small town has…
