Bake with No Effort

Having a few signature dishes is essential for the single woman who doesn’t have neither the time, nor the patience to grocery shop for ingredients she’s never heard of and finger through complicated recipes.

As a social single professional you’ll frequently be invited to everything and anything someone merits as a celebration. Whether it’s a housewarming, a promotion, an I’m newly single and back on the market or even the I have a new boyfriend and I want you all to meet him party. As a proper guest should, it’s always polite to bring a gift, nothing out the pottery barn catalog but something that can be consumed for the celebration. The most common of them , being a bottle of wine ($15-20).

I started to catch on that apparently every other single professional had the same exact idea when I started seeing that the designated food table started looking more like a wine bar and everyone had starved expressions and or/ was getting intoxicated at a more rapid pace.
So after too many nights of depriving myself of food , I decided to look up easy recipes that I could make as an alternative to my lazy, poor excuse of a gift , as well as look like the domestic goddess I wanted everyone to think I was.

I decided on baked Brie that had a whopping 5 ingredients and took 5 minutes to prep and less than 30 minutes to bake, leaving me hands free to put myself together. As the kicker, I stocked up on inexpensive glass dishes that I make the Brie on and leave as a gift for the host. Voila! I was genius and now you can have a fabulous brie too. You can even garnish the dish with some sliced green apples, strawberries or french bread.



This past weekend at a wine tasting dinner party.


Everyone will be beyond impressed not only with your faux domestic ways, but they’ll melt over how delicious your dish is. Now, you’ll be praised for your efforts,but no need to tell them how easy it was, let them think you worked a full day, slaved in the kitchen and managed to show up perfectly put together. They’ll be dying to know how you do it all.
