Crescent Roll Thingies

We’re not only splendiferous Mommies; we’re tigers in the kitchen, too!

I’m usually the last person to find out cool shit. When the word is spreading about some hip, new trend, I’m at the back of the line playing Words With Friends. Imagine my surprise when I (with the help of the creatively-inclined Daisy) learned about the concept of stuffing foods into Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. Holy cow! Think about it: it’s hand-held, which kids love. It’s changeable, so you can make it dinner-ish, breakfast-ish, kid-ish, dessert-ish, whatever! And for those of you with older kids, think about how much fun it would be to actually have a meal that the kids can help prepare! I have begun to experiment with this, and I have some ideas for future nom-noms that I want to try. Have you done this before? What combinations have you rolled up?

Some Brilliant Permutations:

• Gorgonzola cheese, deli turkey, and asparagus
• Sun-dried tomatoes, feta cheese, and artichoke hearts
• Pepperoni, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese
• Scrambled eggs, bacon, American cheese (courtesy of Daisy)
• Chocolate chips, diced strawberries (or any fruit, really.)

Directions:

1. Unroll your crescent rolls from the little tube.
2. Insert your stuffing permutation of choice.
3. Roll it up according to the package directions.
4. Bake for 8-10 minutes (the more stuffing you have, the more time you will need to ensure the dough is baked all the way through.)
5. Enjoy like a fat kid.
