Holiday Recipe: Spinach Cheese Puffs

Quick Disclaimer: I do not have this recipe written down. Anywhere. So I don't have exact measurements or cooking times. But I feel this is a great simple recipe and want to share it.

I made these amazing appetizers for a dinner party one night. I was short on time, wanted something super simple, and didn't cost a lot of money to make. This is what I came up with.

Spinach Cheese Puffs

Ingredients

-fresh baby spinach (I usually use about 1/2 cup once it's diced)
-a container of herbed spreadable cheese (i.e. Laughing Cow)
-puff pastry sheets


Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a baking sheet and set aside. Dice baby spinach. Stir into cheese. Put puff pastry onto a lightly floured counter. Roll out until it is a 12 inch square. Cut into 3 inch squares. Put a spoonful of mixture in center of each square. Gather corners and twist into a little satchel. Place on baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake until golden brown.



Like I said, super easy, and super tasty! Enjoy!

Holiday Recipe: Peppermint Ice Cream Pie

Today's recipe is a personal favorite for both me and my family. It's super simple and so tasty!


This ice cream pie has numerous ways to make it. I'll include a few of the substitutions. Also, if you are diabetic, you can substitute sugar free candy and ice cream!


Ingredients:
-1 carton vanilla ice cream (can use peppermint ice cream and omit candies)
-20 starlight mints
-2 premade Graham cracker crust (can use plain or chocolate)
-chocolate syrup (I think dark chocolate tastes best, but you can use any)

Super easy directions:

Crush mints into a fine powder. If you want, leave very small pieces underused. Stir into softened ice cream until well mixed. Gently spread into pie crusts. Freeze for at least 4 hours. 

To serve, run a knife under hot water, dry, and then slice the pie. Drizzle chocolate syrup over top of each slice.

You can use this recipe for any ice cream, so feel free to get creative! (I did chocolate ice cream with chopped mini Reeses.

Enjoy!!
