about every 6 months i go through a phase where all i crave is brie and i can’t get enough of it, which usually leads me to go to costco or sam’s club to buy brie in bulk.  i love brie when it gets all warm and gooey and bubbly.  mixing it with something sweet and i am in heaven.  for meatless monday i made a spicy apricot glaze out of apricot jam and tons of cayenne pepper, that was topped on a wedge of brie.  along with it was toasted slices of homemade multi-grain baguette and a green leaf salad.  i must say it will be hard to top this.

now that is what i'm talking about
