Brie With Raspberry Sauce and Brown Sugar Cinnamon Ritz Crackers

Our wonderful friends from Kraft sent us some Brown Sugar Cinnamon Ritz Crackers to try and we love them! Over the Holidays we had a few friends drop in. I put this quick and easy recipe together and added our new little Ritz Cracker's.... it was a hit!

All you need is a wheel of Brie cheese heated in the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for about ten minutes.

Remove brie from pan "carefully" with a spatula and place on serving tray. Drizzle with raspberry sauce and serve with Ritz Brown Sugar Cinnamon crackers.

Hint: If you are careful and watch it, you can heat up the Brie in the microwave, just don't over heat or you will have one big runny mess.

Roasted Pumpkin and Squash Seeds

This easy Roasted Pumpkin and Squash Seeds recipe takes no time at all and you end up with a yummy crunchy snack for anytime not just Halloween.

All you need are the seeds, cookie sheet or sheet pan, and spatula.

Ingredients:

Seeds

Olive Oil

2 Garlic Cloves (cleaned and smashed)

Salt

Lawry's Seasoning Salt

Preheat oven to 325.

Wash and pat dry seeds.

In a small fry pan heat 4 to 5 tablespoons Olive Oil to med low heat, add garlic and stir over low heat for a few minutes to season the oil with the garlic flavor. Turn off heat and let sit for ten minutes or so. Taste the oil to make sure you have a garlic flavor. Heating to a high temp will only burn the garlic and leave a bitter taste.

Pour Garlic Olive Oil onto a baking sheet, add Seeds and toss well to coat. Sprinkle with a little Salt. Not too much.

Place in preheated oven and roast stirring every ten minutes or so. This should take 45 minutes to an hour. Half way through while seeds are still a still a little moist season with Lawry's Seasoning Salt. Stir to coat well and return to oven.

Roast until nicely browned and crunchy.

Enjoy ;)
