Roasted Red Pepper Butter Noodles and Baked Brie Cheese

So after a long Memorial Day weekend of eating 20 lbs of pulled pork at graduation parties, I am finally back to cooking!

The first thing I have going on is some butter noodles. Nothing special there. But, BAM! Add some roasted red pepper and pine nuts to the mix and it's not as boring anymore. Cool!

The second thing is baked Brie cheese. I bought a small wheel of Président Brie cheese, sliced it in half (so that I had two thinner wheels), and then spread raspberry jam and crushed walnuts on top of the bottom half and put the top half on again. Using some Pillsbury croissant dough, I arranged the triangles into a star shape on a baking pan, making sure that they are all attached. I set the wheel in the middle and then folded the tips of the croissant dough over the sides and top of the wheel. On the top, I drizzled some honey and brown sugar. I baked this in the oven at 350 for 15 minutes, until the dough was golden-brown.

I served the Brie with crackers alongside the butter noodles.
