(I got 5 circles from each crust, for a total of 20 circles.) Lay these out on your prepared baking sheets. Unroll the refrigerated pie crusts one at a time and use a 4 1/2-inch round cookie cutter to cut out as many circles as possible. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.Three years ago: Bailey’s Hazelnut Chocolate Tiramisu (and Photographing FOOD)įour years ago: Hasselback Sweet Potatoes with Orange Rosemary Butter & Goat Cheeseįive years ago: Mini Apple Pies with Cheddar Crusts One year ago: Giant Skillet Lemon Sugar Cookie Are you part of a book club? What book are you currently reading? Dip these flaky bites into a sweet almond glaze for the perfect dessert experience. I use refrigerated pie crust to make this recipe super simple. These Cherry Cheesecake Pie Bites are shockingly delicious, especially given how easy they are to make! The creamy cheesecake inside is made with Philadelphia Cream Cheese, which is made with fresh milk, real cream, and no preservatives - nothing else tastes like it! It creates a cloud-like pillow for sweet cherry pie filling. Well, I’ve really outdone myself this time, y’all. (I’m a teacher I know these things.) Book club food also has to be finger food, easy to eat as you turn the pages of the book you’re discussing. You have to be able to throw it together at the last minute, since everybody knows that you need to spend most of the day your book club is meeting catching up on the reading you’re supposed to have finished. Book club food is different than regular food. I love the idea of a book club offering accountability for getting through my books at a certain pace, not to mention how perfect they are for discussing meaty issues!īut I know how this works: I can’t start a book club without planning book club food. They’re so important, but so much more work to read than, say, one of my favorite fantasy novels. I’ve been diving into racial justice books lately. So I’ve discovered the only way to gain access into a book club: YOU HAVE TO MAKE YOUR OWN BOOK CLUB. It’s a lot easier to guard your sacred book club than it is to ask people to leave once you’ve made the mistake of inviting them in. Or what if you invite your friend to join the book club but then realize she’s not your type? How can you friends-divorce her without making book club totally weird?īasically, I get it. Or what if everybody invites their friends to join the book club and you end up with 60 people trying to wedge their brilliant theory about Jhumpa Lahiri’s intentions into the conversation? Or what if you invite a new friend to a book club only to find out that they have drastically different tastes than you? When it’s their turn to pick the book, what if they pick 50 Shades of Grey and you’re a Things Fall Apart kind of book club? What if they pick Milton and you’re a Rowling sort of book club? What if you invite your friend to join your treasured book club only to find out that he drinks way too much wine before the books come out and frequently launches into laments about how kids don’t learn cursive these days? Nobody wants to be the person who invited that guy. Nobody wants to make themselves vulnerable - or really, to make their book club vulnerable - to a wild card. It’s because book clubs are guarded like Fort Knox. Like, aren’t there 800,000 book clubs in the world? Shouldn’t I just be able to find a group of like-minded individuals already organized in book-club form and join in? But those of you who are miraculously a part of a book club know exactly why that’s not possible. I feel like book clubs are one of those things you shouldn’t need to start.
