Calling all cooks...

This past Saturday Teddy and I spent the day at the South Beach Food & Wine Festival. If you ever get a chance to go to this (for free) GO!!! It is awesome! However, the tickets are $125.00 so, like I said, for free ;) As great as it was, Im not sure that its worth $125.00.

We walked around tasting all sorts of things from cheesecake, to duck, to raw tuna in an ice cream cone! The best part however were the live cooking shows from all of the Food Network chefs! So fun!

This is one of my favorite recipes from one of my favorite Food Network chef's, Rachael Ray, and it's super easy!

Almond-Orange-Apricot Crescent Rolls

1 package store bought crescent roll dough (recommended: Pilsbury brand)
1/4 cup apricot preserves or all fruit spread
1/4 cup orange marmalade
1 egg
Splash of water
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/4 cup sliced almonds, 2-ounce sack from baking aisle

Preheat oven to package directions and roll out dough on a nonstick cookie sheet. Cut and separate dough into perforated triangles. Combine the apricot jam or fruit spread and the orange marmalade in a small bowl. Place bowl in microwave and cook on HIGH 15 seconds to loosen the preserves. Beat egg with water to thin it out a little for an egg wash. Use the back of a teaspoon to spread a thin layer of apricot-orange jam across each piece of dough. Roll crescents up, brush with a little egg wash and coat with sesame seeds and almonds. Bake to package directions until deep golden in color. Serve warm.

Yummy!! Enjoy...
