Little G had a little of the pasta when it was done around 4pm and then chicken nuggets and strawberries at 7pm. It took her awhile to try the strawberries but once she had one, they were gone in seconds.
The Brie & Cranberry purses were a hit. I sprinkled them with sugar when they came out of the oven and served them with Cool Whip on the side. I forgot to take a picture before my bible study group arrived so I grabbed one and set it aside. Doesn't it look delicious?
For dinner tonight I had Four-Cheese Pasta Florentine leftovers. Mr. G is teaching CPR/1st aide tonight then has to go straight to a sports banquet so instead of cooking I decided to try the leftovers and it was still good.
I made Little G a small bowl of noodles with peas and chopped chicken nugget (leftover from last night). I think she's getting annoyed with me taking pictures of her while she's eating. :)

The brie and cranberry purses look great, are you willing to pass along the how to on that one?
ReplyDeleteIt's in the comment section of Well hello, Monday. After you fill the pastry gather all the sides and pinch them together - I also give it a little twist. :)
