Catching Up and a Dessert Recipe

I am back from The Pearl Event, and WOW!, it was awesome!  I am still processing all I heard and learned, and I am contemplating the ways the Holy Spirit spoke to me through the ladies who shared.  What wonderful, beautiful women the speakers are!  I will share more in the days to come once I have caught up here at home, and I am able to do it some justice.  Believe me, I could go on for days!  I am so grateful for the opportunity to have gone to Nashville for The Pearl Event!

In the meantime, here's a little treat we like at our house.  It's a super easy chocolate pastry.

1/2 package puff pastry-- I use Pepperidge Farm from the freezer section

Thaw according to package, then divide into 9 sections

Semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks

Place as many chocolate pieces as you like in the center of the pastry, then fold the pastry over almost halfway, leaving about an inch to fold over and seal the end closed.  Pinch the sides down to seal.
Place the pastries on a greased or sprayed baking sheet, fold side down.
Beat one egg with one tablespoon water and brush over the top of each pastry.
Bake for 22-25 in a 425 degree oven.
When the pastries have cooled for about 5 minutes, melt 1/4 cup of chocolate pieces and a dab of shortening in the microwave.  Stir together and using a spoon, drizzle the chocolate over the top of the pastries.

Enjoy!
