Ideally, you would make the croissants ahead of time, with a plan to have the corned beef in the crock pot while you work. You can certainly use crescent roll dough from the refrigerator section of your local grocer, or, if you're feeling bold, you could ask your local baker for their croissant scrap. It does exist! Whether the baker will part with it, you won't know until you ask! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">If you want to make your own French pastry, I'd recommend a sourdough croissant recipe, like </span><a href="https://homegrownhappiness.co.nz/easy-sourdough-croissants/" style="font-family: inherit;">this</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">. Be sure to make an egg wash with one egg and a splash of milk, to ensure that golden glow. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit;">Happy cooking!!</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xzqnEq0mVt8/YEj6bgiwu8I/AAAAAAAAcSg/Xd3GC1Qi5DUH7cymlpYVFS29SDSZEDm1QCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/croissant%2Breuben%2Bcreuben.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1639" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xzqnEq0mVt8/YEj6bgiwu8I/AAAAAAAAcSg/Xd3GC1Qi5DUH7cymlpYVFS29SDSZEDm1QCLcBGAsYHQ/s320/croissant%2Breuben%2Bcreuben.JPG" /></a></div><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><u>What you need:</u></span></b><p></p><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Canned sauerkraut</span></div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Swiss cheese slices<br />1.5-2 pounds corned beef brisket with spice packet<br />2 (12 oz) bottles of beer<br />2 bay leaves<br />¼ cup peppercorns<br />1 bulb garlic cloves, separated and peeled<br />Thousand island dressing<br /><a href="https://homegrownhappiness.co.nz/easy-sourdough-croissants/">Croissant </a>or crescent roll dough</span><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">eggwash (egg + milk)<br /></span><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><b><u><span style="font-family: inherit;">1000 Island Dressing: </span></u></b></div><div><b><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Equal parts:</span></i></b></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Mustard (Weber’s )</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Paprika</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ketchup</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Mayo (Duke’s )</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Chopped dill pickles</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">3 splashes worcestershire</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">1/2 tsp horseradish</span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">Place the corned beef briskets into your crock pot.

People get intimated by the unknown. If you don't know how easy (and fun) building a fruit tart is, you may never get that joy of putting the last piece of fruit and looking at your masterpiece with pride! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div>
Hopefully, this berry season will inspire you to have fun with fruit tarts. You can either buy pre-made pie shells, or you can make your own pie dough, roll it out, fill tart shell tins, bake and then fill with your favorite custard recipe, or even cheesecake filling (#yum).... </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u>Behind the Apron TIP:</u> While it can be very pretty to place your berries in a circular pattern, you can choose to group like-berries together like in the above picture! </div>

Nothing like hearing the words “eat your feelings” when it’s Valentine’s Day. It is best to eat your feelings during the month of February. February has the holiday for lovers. Lovers of chocolate. Lovers of sweet and tangy. Chocolate covered pieces of sweet. Chocolate covered this, pink and red that. </div>

This time of year, conversation hearts are the perfect opportunity to give and eat what you feel. Remember, if you get what you give, give yourself or your special someone a plate of conversation heart cookies. Grab a “big daddy” or “love stinks”. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
But remember: focus on you and you will certainly receive!</div>
