Strawberry Mascarpone Cream Filled Puff Pastry

34 For he whom God has sent utters the words of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure.

35 The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. - John 3:34-35

Frozen sheet puff pastry, thawed ( 2 sheets)

Filling:

4 oz Mascarpone, softened

4 oz Cream cheese, softened

1 T Peach Patron

1 T Vanilla

1/4 c Sugar

Mix with a fork until creamy.

 2 c fresh strawberries sliced tossed in dry 1 T strawberry jello

1 T Peach Patron 

Topping

1 c White chocolate candy wafers, cut into 1/4 inch chunks

1 c Sliced almonds

Place one layer of puff pastry in a sheet pan covered with parchment.

Cut other layer into 12 equal strips.

Fill pastry with mascarpone filling, leaving an empty 1/2 inch edge all the way around.

Then loosely lay 6 strips over filled pastry.

Next take the remaining strips and weave them.

Easiest way is to pick up the strips, one at a time, that are already on the filling.

Start under the first, then go over the next, repeat. 

Takes awhile to do but it's beautiful!!

Now fold over the edges for a finished look.

Some of the filling might escape during baking.

If it does, take a metal spatula and remove it.

Bake 375 degrees for 30 minutes and then under broiler to slightly brown.

While the pastry is still warm, sprinkle white chocolate and almonds over top.

Bacon Sweet Slaw Beef Slider

5 So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! 

6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell. - James 3:5-6

Sweet slaw, recipe this blog under slaw/salad tab

1/2 of a Onion, sliced 

4 slices cooked Bacon

2 T Whiskey

2 T Yellow mustard

4 slider buns

4 burgers, love Sprouts 85% blend

Seasoned salt to season burgers

Make thick slider size burger patties, making a deep well in the middle.

This allows for faster fry time and keeps patty from shrinking.

Sear patties really well on both sides.

Cover and add 1/2 c water to steam burgers.

When burgers are almost done, throw onions in the little bit of the burger grease/water mixture.

When onions are done, add whiskey, bacon and mustard.

These cook in about 12-15 minutes using the steam method and are so juicy.

Place on slider bun, add a tomato slice, fill the well place in the middle with the onion/bacon mixture. Top with slaw, so yummy!!!
