Brie with Sun-dried Tomatoes and Thyme Appetizer

I needed a quick appetizer for Joe's mother's birthday this week. I had 30 minutes to throw it other. I wanted something hot since the weather has been so deary this week.

You will need:

Two 8oz wheels of brie

1 jar of diced sun-dried tomatoes, drained

handful of Thyme

2 cloves of garlic

Trim off all the rind from the brie and cut into small cubes. In a small bowl, mix together sun-dried tomatoes, garlic and thyme. Layer the brie and tomato mix in a small ramekin or baking dish. Bake for 20 min on 350, stirring occasionally. Top with a few more sprinkles of thyme. Serve with french bread or crackers!

**It did turn out a little greasy, as you can see, so I blotted with a paper towel before serving to make it look prettier

Heart Shaped Roasted Potatoes

I wanted to do something special for Valentine's Day this year. We went to the Fresh Market and purchased super yummy filet mignon, an artichoke to steam, oysters for our own version of oysters rockefeller, potatoes to roast and some very fancy mini cheesecakes. We did our favorite thing by making a delicious dinner, sitting in front of the fire and watching a movie.

You will need:

2 large russet potatoes

1 sharp knife

heart shaped cookie cutters, preferably small

olive oil 

salt and pepper

rosemary

Preheat oven to 400. Wash the potatoes and slice them into slices about 1/4 inch thick. Use the cookie cutters to cut out as many hearts as you can. Place on a greased cookie sheet and sprinkle with salt, pepper and rosemary.  Bake for about 20 minutes, flipping them after ten. Enjoy!
