Becoming a mom has made me seek out healthier homemade options for my favorite snacks to feed my son. The ingredient lists on most grocery store snacks are a mile long and full of processed foods and dyes that are really unnecessary.

This is not your average low-carb, low-cal, low-fat dish but boy, is it worth it! This baked brie is doused in honey and covered with almonds then wrapped perfectly up in a rolled out puff pastry & designed to fit whatever your theme may be. This is perfect to slice up and serve plain,

When I was going through my kitchen today looking for something fun to make I tried to take inventory of what I had in my house already. I always have a handful of onions in the pantry, butter is a staple, and I usually have an assortment of some cheeses.
