    Brie En Croute

    Brie En Croute | How to be Awesome on $20 a Day

    I've been thinking a lot lately about what I want to do versus what I should do. There are a lot of work stresses that can't be avoided. I need the paycheck, so there's nothing I can do about it. But in the rest of my life, I want to stop putting unnecessary pressure on myself. I want to feel relaxed and happy. I wonder if I can set aside my need to be perfect and productive and just let myself do what feels good. 


    I mean, eventually I'll have to clean the bathroom and do the laundry, but there are things I tell myself that I need to do that can probably just be set aside until I'm in the mood and it feels right. But there's also a part of me that feels ridiculous just typing these words. Relaxed and happy? That's for lazy people. What's the right way to go? I'm asking for a friend.

    I can tell you that what I almost always want to eat is cheese wrapped in carbs. Brie En Croute is where it's at. Butter, flaky puff pastry wrapped around gooey brie filled with something slightly sweet and something crunchy. It's pretty much pure heaven.

    A recipe is not necessary here. Get yourself a wheel of brie and some store-bought puff pastry. Check your puff pastry package for the recommended oven setting. Place your brie in the middle of your pastry, dig around in your fridge for some fancy jam, or not so fancy but not super sweet, then go to  your pantry and grab some nuts. Pile these up on top of your cheese. 

    Next, fold the pastry over your cheese and make sure it's sealed up completely, not like mine in the photo. Brush it with a beaten egg and bake for about 20 minutes or until your pastry is puffed and golden. Serve it warm and gooey with some crackers.

    I know what I need, and I know what I want. Here's to finding balance and eating more cheese.
