Blueberry Crostini

Welcome to Featuring You!  Our Spotlight of the Week goes to Jenna from Inspired Healthy Organized for sharing this beautiful Blueberry Crostini.  I love blueberries and honey bread so I'm sure to love this too.  I just want to thank everyone so much sharing all of their wonderful creations; it amazes me every week!  I hope you enjoy the features.

Sweet Cream Cheese Bundles

 

There is a restaurant that we go to that makes these delicious little bundles of dough that are filled with a sweetened cream cheese.  It's a very simple dessert and I couldn't wait to try making them at home.  I started with puff pastry, filled it with cream cheese and into the oven they went until golden brown.  They are divine and they taste pretty close to the ones at the restaurant.  I'm excited that I can now make them at home...and the kids are too!

Easy Homemade Puff Pastry from Scratch

 

Every time I go to the store I look for puff pastry, however they never have it.  I started reading about how to make it from scratch and the "classic" recipe seemed to take a lot of work and time.  So I kept looking and then I found this recipe from King Arthur Flour that sounded so easy and it didn't take all day either!  I tweaked it a little, gave it a try and I'm so happy that I did.  It turned out wonderful and it was so simple to make.  Plus the end result is so flaky and buttery!  Once you try this, you'll never go back to store bought again!  It was early morning so I decided to fill mine with cream cheese and strawberry preserves... like a toaster strudel.  I'm looking forward to trying it with so many other fillings too!
