BLUE BRIE (BAKED BRIE WITH BLUEBERRIES)
I like having a baked brie at parties, always nice to find a new way to do it. This came via a demo table at my local grocery store a few years back. Dried blueberries can be quite expensive, I wonder if you could just dry your own in the oven. They should be easy enough to find in the bulk section and they do 'make' the dish so you can't leave them out. Nice for a special occassion (when calories don't count!). Serve with a selection of crackers or sliced baguette.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler to high heat.
- Cut the bread into eight 1/2-inch-thick slices and spread some of the Brie on each slice. Arrange on a baking sheet and place under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, until the cheese is soft and the bread is light golden brown on the edges.
- Combine the honey and vinegar in a small bowl and slowly add the oil, mixing briskly with a whisk or fork. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the salad greens and blueberries in a large bowl and add the vinaigrette. Toss until the salad is thoroughly coated.
- Divide the salad between four bowls or plates and serve with the Brie croutons on the side.
- A little blueberry trivia: Blueberries have more antioxidants than almost any other fruit or vegetable. One of nature's few blue foods, blueberries are one of the few berries native to North America. Blueberries were an important staple food of Native Americans. They dried and added them to any food that needed extra flavor and made a strong tea from their roots to use as a relaxant during childbirth.
