Puff Pastry
An Incredibly Easy Dessert: Puff Pastry with Chocolate and Almonds
To be honest the majority of the time, I don't like Martha Stewart recipes as they are usually unnecessarily complicated but I happened across this incredibly easy Martha Stewart recipe for a quick puff pastry dessert.
It only required puff pastry, an egg lightly beaten, sugar for sprinkling, chocolate chips, honey, almond slices and sea salt. Simply defrost the puff pastry, place it on a cookie sheet and create a 1/2 inch crust all the way around and prick the middle of the dough with a fork to avoid air bubbles.

Dine on a Delectable Olive Tapenade Tart
Who doesn't love a savory tart? For an afternoon brunch, I rolled up my sleeves to make a mouth-watering puff pastry tart topped with ricotta cheese, caramelized onions, and homemade olive tapenade. The anchovies are initially pungent, but once they reduce and caramelize with the onions, their flavor mellows immensely.
