These are the apps and snacks that I either love to happen upon when I’m out and about or make to bring along!
The Girl Behind It All
Hi, I'm Kat! I'm a wife and runner.What else do you need to know?
I'm a fiend in the kitchen, a (compulsive) over-accessorizer and an avid watcher of trash TV. As a life-long resident of Minnesota, come with me as I carve out my own lovely little space on the Tundra!
One of my go-to appetizers is one I got from my Mother-in-law; she swears it is a Martha Stewart recipe, but I have my doubts. I can’t imagine Martha advocating for pop ‘n go croissants from a can. Anyhow they are called Beggar’s Purses and make a nice appetizer or bread with a meal.
1 can of croissant dough
1 bag of Babybel cheeses
1/2 C. of chopped walnuts
a few tablespoons of grainy or dijon mustard
Pop the croissants. Instead of separating into triangles at the perforations, pinch them shut. Make rectangles from the dough. In the center of each rectangle place one Babybel cheese, top with mustard and a sprinkling of nuts. Push dough up and around cheese mixture, making a sort of bag. This can be secured with a cloth ribbon or string if desired. The purses can also be brushed with an egg-wash for extra brownness. Bake on a cookie sheet according to package directions.
They are delicious and when paired with a nice salad and perhaps a tomato soup they also make a nice luncheon meal.
