Every bite of food should be a sweet bite
It’s official; my chica brunches are now going to happen once a month. We have way too much time to not do them more often and this time around, we had so much fun.
This time it was a bit more special, since my best friend was visiting for the weekend and she got to meet my new set of friends. I also had the plus benefit of having a helping hand in putting it all together.
Here is my recipe for a great chica brunch:
I have been meaning to make this recipe for quite some time.
But, it’s never been the “right” time.
I saw the recipe for it numerous time here
It was calling to me. I had to make them.
If you read the original recipe, which was published by Martha Steward Living you will see that I took a shortcut, because her version makes Pate Brisee, which is the fancy, French way of making Pie Crust.
I used pre-made pie dough, which had been sitting in my refrigerator for the past week.
A couple of weeks back when I was planning our Paella party – that never happened, I had round up a couple of tapas recipes to served while our paella was cooking on the open flame.
This dish was one in the list. Today, as I opened the refrigerator to get some cheese to make myself and Tom a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches, I notice the leeks and remember this recipe. After a bit more of investigating, realized that I had everything I needed to make it and off I went to test my memory bank. I did this on the fly, because after looking for over 10 minutes ALL OVER MY HOUSE could not find the original printed/marked recipe in any of my print outs or books.
I’m happy to say my memory is just fine, thank-you-very-much.
