The baked brie was super simple to make and it didn't take a lot of time either. Plus it was super yummy. Here is the recipe:
Baked Brie
1 package of brie cheese
1/4 cup brown sugar
drizzle of honey
1 puff pastry
Cut the rind off of the brie cheese and cut in half so you have a top and a bottom half. Unfold the puff pastry and place the bottom half on the puff pastry. Place the brown sugar on top of the cheese and drizzle the honey on top of the brown sugar. Place the top half of the cheese on the brown sugar and honey. Wrap the sides of the puff pastry up and around the cheese and seal the edges. Place on a cookie sheet with seamed side down. Bake at 350 degrees until the puff pastry is cooked and golden brown. Serve with crackers.
The pumpkin bars were a hit at the party as well. These would also be good for around the holidays or to take to a party. They are pretty simple to make as well.
Pumpkin Bars
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup oil
1 small can pumpkin
2 cups flour
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Cream sugar and eggs together. Add the oil and pumpkin and mix well. Sift all of the dry ingredients together and gradually add to the pumpkin mixture. Pour into a greased jelly roll pan and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
Cream Cheese Frosting
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
4 cups powder sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Cream the sugar and cream cheese together. Add the vanilla. Gradually add the powder sugar until all is mixed in. When the pumpkin bars are cool, frost with frosting and enjoy!

I made a smoked side of brisket this year for Thanksgiving. Awesome. I love trying new ways to cook and new foods out on large groups of people. No one needs to know that you made them, and when they do find out it generates a plethora of complements and positive responses... regardless of whether or not it is good, unfortunately. Oh well, I love cooking for parties and throwing dinners for my friends. Not that I get to anymore at college.
Also, baked brie covered in cooked cranberries and pecans is a great, great, great Thanksgiving dish. Try it, and I promise to try your honey covered one.
