Pizza Rolls
You’ll need:
1 package of refrigerated crescents
4 sticks of string cheese (cut in half)
Pepperoni
Parmesan cheese (optional)
Pizza sauce
Directions:
unroll and separate the crescents
sprinkle with Parmesan cheese (I’m not sure how much taste this added so it’s optional :))
pile on some pepperoni and half of a string cheese
roll it up!
bake at 350 for 12-14 minutes
then enjoy with some warmed pizza sauce

we love making these – – you can even make a ton and then freeze them and just pull out a few to bake at a time — yummy!
-
I love these too. So easy and super tasty!!
-
This is one of our favorite 'Dad isn't home for dinner' recipes that the kids make themselves! They are so good!
-
Super simple and I'm sure the family will love them! Thanks for sharing!
-
Just FYI these are delicious if before baking you brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese. So yummy! Other than that I got nothing! Sounds like my kids eat a lot of what your kids eat!
-
I've made these before for me and my husband and they are delicious! Great for when you need something quick. mmmmm now I'm hungry for them 🙂
-
These look yummy and something my boys would eat. I went and got a quesadilla maker 6 months ago and my kiddos love making there own for lunch or supper. They make cheese quesadillas, pizza, cheese and chicken, cheese and ham. I want to try and make a dessert one with mini chocolate chips and mini marshmallowe. The possibilities are endless and they love that they are making their lunch.
-
When we make baked chicken or something similar for dinner, I'll make extra chicken and then throw it in the crockpot with enchilada sauce for the next day. Simple taco wraps with cheese and tomatoes/lettuce.
We also do ham and cheese roll ups, baked mac and cheese (mac and cheese baked with ham in cupcake pans), also we do the usual pb&j.
-
Somewhat of the same concept as this but use french bread, cheese of choice and a small can of pizza sauce – super fast and yummy
-
Homemade corn dogs! 1 box corn muffin mix (mixed according to directions on box). Fill muffin tins about 1/2 full and then add part of a hot dog (about a 1/4- 1/3rd of one), bake according to corn bread muffin directions. Our favorite is using a mini muffin pan (adjust cooking time accordingly), but the regular size muffin pans are yummy!
-
Yummy!

They look yummy! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

these look yummy!
my kids like to make cheese/chicken quesadillas, pinwheels, nachos, etc. I also like to prewash and cut up fruit/veggies so they can have those for a quick snack too. -
We recently discovered that my kids love homemade pot pies. Kids each picked a different shaped mini baker at Ross ($2) to make them in. And they LOVE that they have thier own dish and they get to put their own stuff in it. Best of all – we always make ours from leftovers.
Ingredients:
– canned cresent roll dough (2 per pie)
– left over meat (rotisserie chicken, turkey legs, holiday ham)
– left over veggies – cut into bite sized chunks (we typically throw in the cooked carrots, and potatoes from our crock pot Sunday roast)
– Flour & butter to start the roux
– chicken stockDirections:
– Spray dishes with cooking spray.
– Put a layer of cresent roll dough on the bottom & up the sides of all the dishes. (we sometimes skip this step if we are in a hurry – and just have bread on the top)
– Cook until lightly golden (~8-10 minutes) Can be done ahead of time, and allowed to cool for safety.
– Stuff about 2/3 full with meat & veggies.
– Create roux with equal parts flour and butter. Add chicken stock and a little pepper and simmer for a few minutes to thicken.
– Pour over stuffing, leaving a little room at the top.
– Cover top with 2nd cresent. Poke a few holes in the top.
– Bake until golden (~12-15 minutes)
– Allow to cool for a few minutes, then serve.For my youngest I pop his out of the baking dish and put it into another dish so he doesn't have to worry about touching the hot (or still warm) dish. My twin 5 year olds eat straight from the oven dish.

just made these for dinner tonight and they were a hit! thanks for the easy quick recipe. It will definitely be a summer staple.
-

Best Bites Taquitos are a staple in our house too, but we are saving them for Saturday night. Tonight we are doing cream cheese enchiladas and mango salsa w/ chips. Gotta use all those inexpensive mangos I couldnt resist at the store the other day!!
-
Love this round-up, thanks for featuring my Creamy Chicken Enchiladas today! 🙂
-
We are eating mexican rollups. Use any flavored tortilla and roll it around a mix of cream cheese, veges (like tomatoes, black beans, and corn), taco seasoning, and cilantro. Yummy. I dip it in guacamole.
-
Those creamy chicken things look yummy.

Chicken Fajitas – it's my new fave
-
Mexican food is my all time favorite! I can't wait to try some of these dishes. 🙂
-
Both those enchilada recipes sound incredible! I don't like regular enchiladas with that red sauce so those variations are right up my alley.
We celebrated Cinco de Mayo with a platter of nachos, flan, and some Mexican soda. http://6dukes.blogspot.com/2011/05/cinco-de-mayo.html
-
Purely by coincidence….we had Taco Soup (although it's 90+ degrees outside). It's easy because I throw it all in the crockpot in the morning, and my kids love it!
-
Awesome blog! I love all your ideas and how you highlight some of the "best" from other sites. I really want to make one of those "What I love most about my Home…" frames. So cute. Anyway, glad you liked the Honey Lime Enchiladas. They are one of my all time favorite recipes! Mindy (one of the sisters from The Sisters Cafe)

yummy! sounds super easy! (especially since we have at least half of the ingredients already!)
-
I love anything you can throw into a crockpot!
-
I've never thought to add taco seasoning, but this sounds yum! Amd, I love that it is still the same Rotel dip, just with a kick!
-
Now let me give you a little recipe that you can use up any leftover queso (nacho cheese)…
2 cups nacho cheese
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milkMix all these ingredients together (may need to melt the cheese a little to get it mixable). Pour over 3-4 chicken breasts in crock pot, cook on low about 6 hours. Take chicken breasts out and shred the chicken up, put back in crock pot and cook on low for about 15 minutes. Serve over rice.
My sister-in-law makes the best homemade queso but she makes a TON of it. We can only eat it for so many days, so I started using it in the above recipe, which I made up out of desperation (you know, you are running behind, nothing really planned, so you throw a bunch of things together). The best part is the chicken comes out so moist and delicious!

we had that all the time growing up… so good! the updated version is to use a brick or 2 of cream cheese instead of velveeta (and i love it with pork sausage instead of growned beef). believe it or not, it's even better 🙂
-
This is making me hungry. Really hungry.
-
I'm with Kelli. The Sausage is THE way to go!! 😉
-
Oh my heavens, that sounds amazing! I love good party food.
-
oh yes…so yummy…try the sausage…delish !!!!
-
even better if you use pork sausage!
-
I have a similar recipe, but I use ground sausage for a little kick. I also put in cream of mushroom soup (i know, sounds weird) b/c it makes it so it doesn't harden at the top.
-
HAHA had to look up what Rotel Original was!!! Another score for the bridal shower.

These look so tasty! I just made a batch of pumpkin bread because I couldn't wait any longer for it to be pumpkin season 🙂
YUMMY!!!! I love everything 'pumpkin' and am always so disappointed pumpkinpuree still hasn't found its way on the shelves in shops around here. Last year, I made my own pumpkinpuree to use in several recipes but I think it was not as firm as the canned puree, mine was more runny which sometimes made the dough too moist. Wish I could try your pumpkincookies. You enjoy them for me!
Bye,
Marian
Our favorite are pumpkin chocolate chip cookies except with 3 ingredients: spice cake mix, pumpkin pie filling, and chocolate chips.
yes please . love these.
-gillian http://www.seasonsgredings.com
Yum! I love pumpkin but have never seen it in a cookie! I will have to try these!
If i cant find pumpkin puree in the supermarket… (i'm in Australia and cant say i've ever seen it!) can I just puree my own pumpkin for the recipe?
So I just made these. Are you kidding me? Whoa. So. Good!!!! As I was making these, the shortening looked crazy gross as it was mixing, then at the end of the mixing, I realized there wasn't any eggs, which I also thought was strange. So, as I slide the first sheet into the oven, I was thinking they were going to be a waste of ingredients. I could not have been more wrong! these are delish! Thank you for sharing them!
They sound delicious but its tricky to get canned pumpkin here in the UK – we aren't big on eating them either.
