Baked Shells

Baked Shells

We wanted to try something a little different the other night, but still something that would please everyone in the house. These Bake Shells did the trick. The best thing, is that everything we needed was already in the pantry. No extra trips to the store!


The Recipe:

• One Recipe Tomato Sauce
• 1 Cup Ricotta
• 1 Box Shells
• Mozzarella Cheese

Make your sauce ahead of time. It will keep in the fridge for at least a week. Combine the sauce and ricotta in a bowl and stir in the shells. Spread the shells evenly in a baking dish and cover with the mozzarella. Bake at 350 degrees until the cheese is melted and slightly browned. 

Don't be afraid to use too much sauce. I wish I had used a little more!

Happy Eating!

Baked Brie

This is one of favorite, simple, almost effortless appetizers to make for parties. I made it over the weekend and forgot to snap a picture. I think you'll get the idea though.

The Recipe:

• 1 Package Brie Cheese - Rind Removed
• 1 Package Pasty or Croissant Dough

Wrap the Brie in the pasty dough. It should resemble a small loaf of bread. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown. Let it sit for a few minutes before serving, to allow the Brie to set. I like to serve it with a raspberry jelly on the side.

Happy eating.
