Friday Night Dates :: 26

I'm inviting romance into my life

one Friday Night Date at a time
and documenting each one here on my little ol' blog.

I want to remember every detail
of these splendid home spun dates.

Date #26

This was such a tasty night of
flavors and sweets.
The film was adorable
and the night was so fun.

The smooches were sweet too.
Here are the recipes...

Easy Strawberry Empanadas recipe

1/4 cup cream cheese, room temperature
2 tablespoons light brown sugar

confectioner's sugar

2/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh strawberries
1 (8-count) package refrigerated crescent rolls
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Blend cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar in bowl. Fold in strawberries. Unfold crescent roll dough into 4 rectangles, smoothing the dough together along the diagonal dotted line. Divide the strawberry mixture among the 4 pieces, spooning onto the bottom half of the rectangle. Fold dough over and crimp edges with your fingers or the tines of a fork. Bake rolls for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Brush cooked empanadas with melted butter and dust with confectioner's sugar. Drizzle with chocolate, if desired.
