Hey Friends!
Last week on my IG stories I asked you if you more wanted to see “Fancy Made Easy” or “Seasonal & Delish”. Fancy Made Easy won but it was a close call so I decided to do both. Since there is a pretty obviously shift in September and this is the last Wednesday of August, “Seasonal & Delish” will probably be my last full blown summer recipe. I mean we have pumpkins to think about.
So “Fancy Made Easy” is but first. You know I’m going to tell you or add this to brunch with some champagne so we’ll skip that part. This one looks hard but really isn’t.
what you do:
This is before being baked.
Press your dough into a greased pie dish.
Mix together cream cheese, brown sugar, and a good drizzle of honey and spread onto the dough.
Start slicing your pears very thin. I sliced as I went so I could determine how I wanted the colors to look. Keep going in a circle until you cover the cream cheese mixture.
Bake on 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. Serve with a drizzle of honey.
One thing I always wanted to make was a Summer Spring Roll and since summer is in the title I thought this was the perfect seasonal recipe for summer. Another one that isn’t too difficult. This was my first time working with the rice paper. I was a little intimidated but after making one roll, that went away quickly.
what you do:
Cook the noodles according to the package (boil for a couple minutes).
Cut everything else into thin sticks.
In a shallow bowl full of warm water submerge a spring roll until playable, dab with paper towel.
You’re going to wrap it like you would a burrito. Start making a neat pile in the middle of your rice paper. Once complete fold in sides and tightly roll.
Cut in half and serve!
On to the sauce!
Mix all of the below ingredients together!
I definitely need practice on rolling tighter rolls but I was thrilled with the outcome! Also if you don’t like spicy things you can skip the garlic chili sauce but I think it makes the dip just right. I might add a little more next time.
