Brie with Cranberries and Walnuts



We celebrated our first night with our new kitchen completed by drinking champagne and having a yummy appetizer. Since I was a little afraid my cooking skills had gotten rusty, I wanted something easy but still delicious and a little bit impressive--this fit the bill perfectly!

Brie
Walnuts
Dried Cranberries
Rosemary
Thyme

Preheat oven to 350. Cut the top rind off the brie and place in an oven safe dish. Sprinkle with walnuts, cranberries, rosemary and thyme (preferably fresh). Bake for about 15 minutes or until brie is starting to melt. Serve with whole wheat crackers.

And I'm back in business!





Ok, I know it's been a million years since I've made a new post, but I had a really good reason--I had no kitchen! After dreaming about remodeling our kitchen for a year and a half, we finally started the project at the end of August and were without a fully functioning kitchen until just before Thanksgiving. Of course it took longer/was more expensive/caused more stress than we had anticipated, but now that's it's all over with, I can say with 100% certainty that it was all worth it! Many, many, many thanks to my wonderful husband who put his blood, sweat and tears into making my dream kitchen a reality! I'm LOVING my new kitchen and am so glad to be able to get back to cooking!
