Baked Brie Bites

Ingredients 1 (17.3-oz.) package frozen puff pastry (2 sheets), thawed but cold 1 (8-oz.) wheel Brie cheese, cold 1/4 cup raspberry, apricot or fig jam 1/3 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans, toasted (optional) 1 large egg 1 Tablespoon whole milk Instructions Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpats. Unfold each sheet of puff pastry onto a lightly floured work surface. Cut along the seams lengthwise on each sheet of puff pastry to form three long rectangles then cut each rectangle into three 3-inch squares. (Each sheet of puff pastry will yield 9 squares.) Slice the Brie into 18 wedges. Place each puff pastry square on the baking sheet then place the wedge of Brie in one corner of the square (leaving a small border along the edge). Place a dollop of jam on top of the cheese then sprinkle the jam with chopped nuts. Stretch and fold the puff pastry over the cheese so that the two corners of the squares meet to form a triangle. Using a fork, crimp together the edges so that the puff pastry pocket is firmly sealed. Repeat the filling and crimping process with the remaining pieces of puff pastry. Cut a slit in the top of each triangle. Whisk together the egg and milk then brush the tops of the puff pastry. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown and cooked throughout. Remove the puff pastry from the oven and allow the bites to cool for 5 minutes then serve immediately. Link: https://www.justataste.com/baked-brie-bites-with-jam-

Pepper Jelly Glazed Salmon

Ingredients: 1 1/2 pound salmon fillet 4 tablespoons (more as needed) of Southwestern Dry Rub 1/2 cup of pepper jelly (more as needed) Directions: Take a 1 1/2 pound salmon fillet and trim the belly fat off, along with the very end section closest to the tail. Leave the skin on the salmon Cut the remaining salmon into even portions. Once you cook the salmon, you will be able to remove the fillets easily from the skin Sprinkle each salmon filet with 1 tablespoon of Southwestern Dry Rub and then add more as needed. Let the salmon sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the rub to settle in Place the salmon into a 400 F oven for about 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and apply some pepper jelly (I heated the jelly up a bit to make it easier to spread) Place back into the oven and cook an additional 3-4 minutes or until a knife inserted into the thickest part of the fish comes out easy and clean. Using a spatula carefully remove the fillet from it’s skin Serve over a bed of rice and top with scallions Link: https://simplysundaysfoodblog.com/2016/02/22/pepper-jelly-glazed-salmon2/amp/

Apple Butter Roasted Chicken

INGREDIENTS 4-5 pound whole chicken 1/2 cup apple butter 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon chili powder 1 teaspoon paprika (I used smoked paprika) 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes handful fresh thyme sprigs 3 large garlic cloves, peeled and smashed kosher salt and pepper INSTRUCTIONS Preheat oven to 375°F (I like to use my convection setting for roasted chicken if you have it). Rinse and pat the chicken dry. Make sure to remove any innards from the cavity and place in a roasting/baking dish big enough to hold the chicken. Mix together the apple butter and spices. Gently pull back the skin on breasts of the chicken and rub the apple butter mixture as far down the bird between the skin and the flesh as possible using your hands or a spoon. Do this again on the legs and thighs. Brush any remaining apple butter mixture all over the outside of the chicken. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Place the thyme sprigs and garlic cloves in the cavity of the chicken. Roast until internal temperature using a meat thermometer reaches 165°F (about 20 minutes per pound although this will vary by oven and especially if you're using the convection feature which cooks quicker). If chicken is browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil during the roasting process. Spoon the cooking liquids over the chicken 2-3 times while roasting to keep it moist. Remove from oven once cooked, cover with foil (if not already) and let rest for about 10 minutes before carving and serving. Link: https://www.r

Arrange the chicken pieces in an oven-safe baking dish. I like to use my Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron 3-1/2-Quart Round Braiser for this recipe. Salt and pepper the tops of the chicken according to your personal preference. Pour the marmalade mixture on top of the chicken. Bake the chicken covered at 400°F for 20 minutes.

★ Oatmeal Jammies

Ingredients 2 cups all-purpose flour (264g) 1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats (147g) ½ cup granulated sugar (108g) ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed (53g) ½ teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 18 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly (250g) (9-ounces) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 10-12 ounces assorted jams, room temperature vegetable cooking spray Instructions Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly spray a regular size 12-well muffin pan with vegetable cooking spray. Set aside. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the flour, oats, sugars, baking powder and salt until blended. Add the butter and vanilla. Pulse until the mixture becomes a crumbly dough. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed to help it combine. Some of it will seem dry - that's okay. Transfer the cookie dough to a large bowl and stir to combine. The dry crumbs in the bottom will be used for the streusel so no worries if it all won’t stick together. Scoop out a level, slightly packed small cookie scoop full of dough (1 tablespoon) and drop into one of the muffin tin wells. Using your fingers lightly press the dough into the bottom of the pan making sure it is level. Repeat until the pan is full. Dollop one full teaspoon of jam into the center of the cookie base in the muffin tin. Using a small spoon scatter crumbled dough around the outside edges of the cookie surrounding the jam. Press very lightly if needed to hold it together. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through baking, until
