We at Spitfire Girl love to snack, and we recently enjoyed these amazing puff pastries in the office so we thought we should share the recipe with you! 

We were delighted at how easy and fun it was this was to make! Not to mention how creative your can be with your ingredients.

Feel free to switch up this recipe with what ever you want.

 For instance, we had a bunch of blueberries from the farmers market, so we added some blueberries to one batch and made a sweet version too! One savory and one sweet! It's a win win!

Here is what you will need for the Savory Puff Pasty. 

Preheat oven to 450

1 package of frozen puff pastry defrosted

Dijon mustard

Thinly sliced good salami

2 kinds of your favorite cheese, (We used Gruyere and Parmesan!)

Portabello mushrooms sauteed

One beaten egg

Salt and pepper

Lay one sheet of parchment paper on a cookie sheet. Lay one sheet of puff pastry onto pan. Keeping a 1 inch border, brush dough with mustard, then arrange salami. Place a layer of sautéed mushrooms down then sprinkle a layer of cheese. Add salt and pepper. brush the border with egg wash. Roll the second piece of dough on top. Brush the top with egg wash. Chill in the fridge for 15 min until it is cold. Trim edges and pop into the oven for 25 to 30 min.  Allow to cool for a few minutes, cut in squares and serve hot and enjoy! 

We love this dish as the perfect pairing for some afternoon cocktails!

Total time 55 min.

Happy Cooking!

Love,

Spitfire Girl

Dinosaurs Smoking Weed is a book near and dear to our hearts here at the Spitfire Girl headquarters. Firstly, its one of our best sellers, and secondly, and perhaps most importantly, it's written by one of our own!  That's right - Dinosaurs Smoking Weed author, Shahrzad Ghadjar, used to work at one of our Spitfire Girl locations!

Now that she's a successful entrepreneur, we had to sneak into Shahr's busy schedule to talk about how Dinosaurs Smoking Weed came about. We put on some Lana Del Rey and let Shahr explain: "I love dinosaurs and I've always loved dinosaurs and I was drawing one day and it was a nice afternoon and I drew a T-Rex smoking a joint- and I thought it was really funny."

Shahr talked about how she always draws in black and white and how her style just naturally really lent itself to a coloring book, and as Shahr put it "people love to color when they're stoned!" 

As well as being a fun activity Shahr also wanted Dinosaurs Smoking Weed to be educational. The book contains Dinosaurs from all different continents and time periods and has true facts about each Dinosaur pictured. "It's not just all about getting high, it's about learning."

We can appreciate that Shahr loves to learn and we just have to attribute some of her success to what she learned working for Spitfire Girl! 

"Before working at the shop I thought I would do film, and when I was working at the store ... I saw Kristin and Jason - all they do is draw and sell things and I thought, wow, I could do that too. Then Kristin also gave me the opportunity to draw and design for the store, and that blew my mind."

We at Spitfire Girl love coloring (stoned or otherwise) and Dinosaurs Smoking Weed provides the perfect place for us to get our coloring on! In fact, we're about to get to coloring this Ornithomimus smoking a blunt right now! 

We have a very special limited number of signed and numbered copies of Dinosaurs Smoking Weed available for purchase! The first five orders for Dinosaurs Smoking Weed placed online will be signed! Woohoo!
