Palmiers

I love palmier cookies, they taste great and look pretty.
The best thing about them is that  they are so easy to make!
They only take two ingredients.

1 package puff pastry dough
1 1/2 cup sugar

Roll the dough out on a flat surface.
spread the sugar all over the dough.
Roll the two sides of the dough into the middle (like a Torah scroll).
Cut the log into slices about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the cookies on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes,
flip each cookie over and bake for another 5 or 6 minutes.

Allow to cool and Enjoy!

Roasted Chicken and potatoes

I wanted an easy one pot dinner a few nights ago so I improvised and came up with this!

1 medium onion, sliced
5 red potatoes, unpeeled, chopped
1/4 cup wed wine
Montreal BBQ Chicken spice
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Cayenne pepper
Honey

4 chicken legs, thigh and drumstick attached (you could use other parts)



In a Dutch over or roasting pan, combine the onion and potatoes,
season with a little Chicken spice, salt and pepper, add the wine.
Place the chicken on top,
season on either side with Chicken spice and cayenne pepper.
Drizzle with a little honey.


Cover and Bake at 375 for 1 hour.
Uncover and continue baking another 30 minutes.


Enjoy!

Crepes

Growing up, my mom and my grandmother used to often make crepes for breakfast.  We used to eat them with all sorts of toppings like fruit, chocolate, whipped cream, peanut butter, condensed milk, syrup or anything else you could imagine.  There is an expression in Russian that says "to mother in law's house for crepes" It basically means that they're too complicated to make so you go to your mother in law so she will make them instead of making them yourself.
I don't find them so difficult or complicated to make so I make them myself!

This recipe is adapted from "Desserts By The Yard".

3/4 cup and 2 tbsp flour
pinch of salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 1/3 cup milk
1/4 cup and 3 tablespoons heavy cream

 Combine all ingredients until smooth and allow batter to sit for a while.
Heat a pan, add a little butter or oil and about 1/2 a cup of batter.
When the top part of the crepe is dry, flip it and cook for another 20-30 seconds.

Flip onto a plate and enjoy with the toppings of your choice!
