With being laid off and prego, Dominic and I have been kickin' it. Our schedules have been to wake, eat, whip up something to pack, hop on the bike and we're off by 9:30 am running errands and enjoying the great outdoors. We eventually land at the beach, have a quick picnic, swim and soak in the sun.
By the time we head home, Dom is wiped out (me too). Upon reaching our front door, he's fast asleep - I sneakily bring him to his bed and rest on the couch for a good ol' fashion nap (pretty heavenly I must say)!
The point of my story is.. I've been DVR'ing the Barefoot Contessa. I originally started taping her b/c her voice is soothing with minimal excitement. It's easy to nap too (so is golf). Whilst I was drifting off into a sweet afternoon slumber, the Contessa hit me up with a Cheese Danish recipe. I didn't think much of it and nodded off. I'm convinced that her voice, her monotone soothing chatter of the cheese danish and all of its delights, made it into my dreams, spun around a bit in my head and began this ridiculous craving that I had for one.
With my brother and his girlfriend in town, it was a perfect excuse to make them and OHHHH are they wonderful!! I didn't change a thing. They are the easiest thing I think I've ever made and most excellent right out of the oven with a cup of coffee.
Enjoy!!!
p.s. I took this pic right as they came out of the oven, they're pretty too!
