Homemade Pizza Rolls

Football season is my absolute favorite time of year! In preparation to watching last night's preseason game, I whipped up some yummy appetizers for dinner instead of a full meal to put us in the football mood! 

Slightly Homemade Pizza Rolls

The reason why I call it "slightly" homemade, is because I definitely didn't make the yummy crescent rolls that made them so amazing, but I did put it all together ;)


Ingredients:
1st Batch: Pepperoni Rolls (with added Jalapenos for ours)
1 can of crescent rolls - Pillsbury has a garlic flavor: YUMMY (or you can really do homemade and make your own dough!) (yields 8 rolls) - I made 2 batches
1 cup marinara sauce
1 small pack of pepperonis
1 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese (a guesstimate, but 1 cup should be enough to fill all rolls)


Extras:
I put pickled jalapenos as another topping in my pepperoni rolls


2nd Batch: BBQ Chicken Pizza Rolls
1 can of crescent rolls (yields 8)
1-2 boneless skinless chicken breasts cooked (I had some leftover chicken breasts) and chopped
1/2 cup bbq sauce
1/4 white onion chopped
1/2 cup reduced fat mozzarella cheese

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375* Pull apart crescent rolls and using a spoon, spread marinara sauce evenly across.

2. Top with pepperonis, cheese, and any topping of your choice (can't be too much they're kind of small). 


3. Next, roll up the crescents trying to keep it all together ( this was a messy stage hehe )

4. When all together, place in oven for 8 minutes or until a golden brown color. 

After that, enjoy! 


On the side we had a few Buffalo Chicken Bites...

Yes, I dip already buffalo flavored chicken into buffalo cause I'm a freak and I LOVE IT! :)

These are such a fun party food and easy to make!  Great for FOOTBALL SEASON! 


We are so glad to see Huxley loves football too :-P! It's too funny he stares at the TV like he's actually watching and understanding... so cute. Except when I go to take a picture, he is ready to turn around and show off for you guys... hehe

Hi Blogworld!

Crockpot Brisket

Between training for my job and training my little Huxley night and day, this week has been exhausting! Can't wait for tomorrow, now that I'm on the "corporate schedule" I get labor day off - yay for three day weekends! 

So what's the best types of foods to cook when your schedule is super busy? Crock pot meals! Start it up in the morning, eat it up in the evening :) Love it!

Yesterday I made crock pot brisket. Brisket is one of my faaaaavorite meats, brisket breakfast tacos, bbq brisket tacos, brisket sammys, etc). You can literally make anything taste great with brisket. :) Can you tell I love it?

This is also a big-time budget friendly recipe. I fed 4 people with this brisket, and guess how much it was at the store? 

$4.40 whopping dollars! Check it out....

Crockpot Brisket

Ingredients:

1-1.5 lb corned beef brisket

1 medium WHITE onion (i only had red... but it still added amazing flavor!)

1 handy dandy crockpot

Directions:

1. Take out thawed brisket and season any way you would like. (I just used the tiny pack of seasoning it came with) Place in crockpot.

2. Chop up your onion and place all around the brisket and underneath.

3. Fill water about 1/4 of the way covering almost all of the brisket.

4. Set crockpot to low for 8hrs or high for 4-5 hours.

5. Once fully cooked, let cool and then cut into small slices (or for tacos you can chop or pull apart - it's so tender!)

Next, top with BBQ sauce or anything of your choice, put on a sandwich thin, bread, tortilla, whatever your heart desires.

Make sure you don't forget the onions! 

And for sides, I made my favorite: Roasted Cauliflower

Mmmmmm..... I definitely recommend this to anyone that likes brisket or loves easy budget friendly meals that are delish. :)

Bon Appetit!

 

Off to take Huxley on his first big walk/run outside! Will post videos  of course hehe.
