Baked Brie with Cranberries & Almonds #SundaySupper

December 13, 2015 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 18 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today #SundaySupper has teamed up with Gallo Family Vineyards to share with you our favorite holiday recipes.  I love this time of year because of the Christmas music, the warm cozy comfort foods, the smell of Christmas trees and whiffs of cinnamon and baked cookies.  It’s just so comforting and no matter where you are it just feels like home.  The month of December is just fabulous, it’s funny once January hits, your’e thinking, when will it be Spring?  But let’s stick to the holiday season for now.  Today I am sharing with you one of my favorite, super easy, holiday recipes which is Baked Brie with Cranberries & Almonds.

Baked Brie with Cranberries & Almonds #SundaySupper #GalloFamily

I made a soft, warmed Brie cheese that is topped with dried cranberries, chopped almonds and is drizzled with honey.  It is so perfect for a cheese platter.  I can tell you one of the things I have been craving lately is cheese.  I love, love, love cheese and crackers.  I went crazy at the store and bought 6 boxes of different kind of crackers and 5 different kind of cheeses.  I think cheese and wine are the perfect appetizer for any holiday event, or be like me and just have it for an evening snack in front of the fireplace.

When I first made this recipe and I was too busy getting my props out for the photos that I didn’t pay attention to the cheese in the oven.  I figured 15 minutes was enough time to soften the cheese.  Wrong!  I could smell the cheese and I thought, ohhh, this will be yummy.  I pulled open the oven door and to my surprise it melted (check out the bad photo on Instagram).  Not cool!  Now what do I do?  I can’t share with you a pile of melted cheese.  So I grabbed my purse and headed back to the store to pick up more Brie.  This time I stared at the oven to make sure it didn’t melt.  Guess what?  It didn’t!  Key lesson here is to not over-cook your cheese.

Once the cheese came out, it turned out wonderful.  Soft, warm, gooey and just enough sweetness from the honey to complement the cranberries.  I thought it went best with golden buttery crackers, but any cracker will do.  What I also loved was the crunchy topping from the almonds.

I thought the best wine paired with this dish is Gallo Family Vineyards Chardonnay.  I am a Chardonnay snob!  I love it, it’s my favorite.  Gallo Family Vineyards Chardonnay is crisp, medium bodied and has a hint of citrus and vanilla. It complements Brie cheese perfectly.  I served it with some frozen cranberries.  I thought it made my wine look more festive for the holidays.

If you are not into white wine, Gallo Family Vineyards has the most amazing Red Moscato that also pairs very well with cheese and crackers.  It is a sweet wine, that has hints of citrus and finishes off with a blend of berries.  I do love sweet wines and is perfect for the holiday time.

Baked Brie with Cranberries & Almonds #SundaySupper #GalloFamily

A little note when baking the cheese:  When I made this recipe, I placed the cheese onto parchment paper and baked it.  When it was done, I just grabbed the corners of the parchment paper and placed it onto my serving platter.  This makes for no messes and easy transportation.  I just trimmed the parchment paper to fit on my plate.  I added a little rosemary and fresh cranberries for decoration.

I wanted to share with you a wonderful holiday charity program that Gallo Family Vineyards does every year.  If you send Gallo Family Vineyards your wine cork or snap a picture of it, they donate a $1.00 to Meals on Wheels America.  I think that is just wonderful.  Lucky for me I have lots of corks to take pictures of.  Please read below this special message from Gallo Family Vineyards.

“Our family is committed to helping Meals on Wheels America to improve the health and quality of life for the seniors they serve. For the sixth year in a row, Gallo Family Vineyards invites Americans to help end senior hunger and isolation with our annual Every Cork Counts™ program.

    My most loved one is the chicken with seeds out of the jack natural product in (yummy) The more seasoned age like curries produced using dried fish which is very solid and rancid, and individuals appear to like acrid and unpleasant tastes instead of sweet stuff.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.

Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
