A few of us got together for a girls night (with the kiddos) while the hubby's were away. We had this yummy appetizer and some super good chicken in filo dough and a cobb salad. We had a stayed up late enough to get delirious and thought we were just hilarious. (Sorry about the nonsensical letters Nick and April, but know it was all for love ...all with love...oh I don't know!)

Baked Brie and Coconut Graham Crackers

1 sheet puff pastry
1 medium round of Brie
1/4 cup any jam (I used blackberry)
1/4-1/2 cup coconut
1/4 cup roasted almonds

Thaw puff pastry. In middle of puff pastry, place roasted almonds, jam, and coconut. Place cheese on top of that. Fold in sides of pastry, seal with wet fingers. Bake 400 degrees for 40-45 minuted, or until pastry is browned.

Coconut Graham Crackers
6 cups whole grain flour
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp baking soda
3 Tbsp cround cinnamon
3/4 cup honey
1 1/2 cups oil. part coconut oil or butter
1 cup cold water

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Make a well in the center of flour mixture.
2. In bosch with cookie whips, combine honey, oil, and water. Mix well, then add to dry ingredients and stir until mixture forms a thick, crumbly/stiff dough. May need to adjust liquid/flour.
3. Grease 2 jelly roll pans. Put half of the dough on each sheet and press flat, using your fingers or a spatula. Using a pizza cutter or butter knife, slice each sheet into 24 squares.
4. Bake sheets at 400 degrees for 13 to 18 min., or until lightly browned, switching racks half-way through baking. Or convection 375 degrees and don't switch racks.
5. Remove pans from oven to wire racks, and allow the cookies to cool on the pans. Re-slice, remove from pans, and store in an air-tight container or bag.
