Glazed Pigs in a Blanket

My family has always been crazy for simple pigs in a blanket, so I was ecstatic to try this easy recipe to dress them up for a ladies luncheon I was headed to. 

I received several comments about how good these are. 

If you like dijon mustard and worcestershire, I think you will go bonkers for

this scrumptious appetizer with a delicious brown sugar glaze...and poppyseeds

(for cuteness!) *-* 

These would be amazing to serve during the holiday season...they

are, after all, little bites.  Sometimes with all the many dishes at gatherings, it's nice just to have a taste.  

BETCHA CAN'T EAT JUST ONE!!! 

But they're also perfect for tailgating parties or any gathering, really! 

Go for it!  Trust me, they will fly out of the dish! And you'll be asked for the recipe too.  

A simple little sauce makes this become a fabulous twist on a classic. 

GO FOR IT!! You will definitely SCORE and be a real WINNER when you serve these little piggies wrapped in crescent roll deliciousness!  

GLAZED PIGS IN A BLANKET 

1 (8-count) pkg. refrigerated crescent rolls

1 (4-count) pkg. refrigerated crescent rolls 

1 pkg. (14 ozs) Li'l Smokie sausages

A few Tablespoonsful of dijon mustard

SAUCE: 

1/2 c. butter

2 Tb. brown sugar

1 Tb. dijon mustard 

1 Tb. Worcestershire sauce

1/2 - 1 Tb. poppy seeds

Preheat oven to 375. Lightly spray 9" x 13" baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. 

On a large cutting board, unroll each can of crescent rolls separately.  Separate into triangles. Spread a teaspoon (or less, your preference) of Dijon on each triangle.  Cut each lengthwise into 3 smaller triangles. 

Place a little smokie sausage on the wide end of the triangle; roll up and place in prepared pan. 

In a small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, mustard Worcestershire and poppy seeds.  Bring to a boil and pour evenly over piggies in the pan. 

(To ensure I didn't have soggy dough on the bottom, I baked about 8 minutes before topping with sauce).

Bake about 25 minutes or until golden brown. 

Serve hot.  Yield: 36 little snackies

Baked Waffles with Raspberry Cream Cheese

The Bryan Times - Crockpot Recipes - March 18, 2019

Everyone needs some great recipes to add to your crockpot recipe arsenal.  Hope you'll consider trying these tasty dishes that let the crock do the work for you while you do other things.

Amazing Crockpot Caramel Sweet Rolls

Tips for using your crockpot: 

Check that your crockpot is the right size for the recipe you're making. In this day and age, they come in all different sizes. 

Make sure your crockpot is at least half full but no more than 2/3 full so foods cook safely in the given time range. 

Cut slow-cooking vegetables, like carrots, into small pieces. And quick-cooking veggies, like zucchini or sweet peppers, into larger pieces. 

For most crockpot recipes, you don't need to stir. Stirring can even be harmful because a crockpot cooks food with low heat, removing the lid can drastically reduce cooker's interior temperature. 

When you lift the lid or stir or add ingredients, replace lid as quickly as possible, especially when cooking on low heat. An uncovered cooker can lose up to 20 degrees of heat in as little as 2 minutes. 

This first recipe is a real winner. It also has options to 'lighten' the dish. Either way you make it, you're sure to like it. Serve with garlic bread and a salad for a filling meal. 

Crockpot (Skinny) Cheesey Chicken Spaghetti

CROCKPOT (SKINNY) CHEESEY CHICKEN SPAGHETTI

16 oz. dry spaghetti, cooked, but not overdone

1 lb. Velveeta (2%) cheese (or 2 c. shredded cheddar cheese) 

12.5 oz. can chicken breast, drained and flaked

(or 2 sm. chicken breasts, cooked) 

10-3/4 oz. can (98% fat free) cream of mushroom soup, undiluted

10-3/4 oz. can (98% fat free) cream of chicken soup, undiluted

10 oz. can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel)

4 oz. can mushroom stems and pieces, drained

1/2 c. water

1 sm. onion, diced

1 med. green pepper, diced, optional

salt and pepper, to taste

Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Combine all ingredients in slow cooker and stir to mix well. Cook on LOW for 2-3 hours. Stir again just before serving.

Did you have any idea you can 'bake' in your crockpot? These rolls are just wonderful!! (And a real conversation starter). Great on a busy morning. 

AMAZING CROCKPOT CARAMEL SWEET ROLLS 

1 c. brown sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 c. butter or margarine, melted

2 - 10 ct. tubes refrigerated (buttermilk) biscuits

Line the crockpot (4 - 5 qt.) with parchment paper. (I cut out a circle using the lid as a guide for the bottom, then using a long piece to place around the sides.) Spray the paper with cooking spray. 

Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in bowl. Separate biscuits and dip into the melted butter, then into brown sugar mixture, coating both sides. Place in crockpot. (Standing them more on the edge allows them to overlap and fit into the crockpot).  Place a paper towel over the top before placing lid on (this keeps the moisture from falling onto the rolls). Cook on high for 1 - 1/2 hours. Check after an hour to see how close they are to being done. Let stand 10 minutes, then place on plate and drizzle with frosting or glaze. 

Glaze:

1/4 c. melted butter or margarine

1 tsp. vanilla

1 Tb. milk

2 c. powdered sugar

Mix well until smooth.  Add more milk if needed for desired consistency. 

This dessert is definitely a family favorite.  I love that it uses canned peaches. It's impressive enough to serve company. 

CROCKPOT PEACH CRISP 

2/3 - 3/4 c. packed brown sugar

1 c. quick oats

1/2 c. flour

1 tsp. cinnamon

fresh grated nutmeg, optional

1/4 cup butter, softened 

2 large (20 ozs.) cans peaches, well drained

Spray the inside of the crock or butter it. In medium bowl, stir together brown sugar, oats, flour and cinnamon and nutmeg. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients with a pastry blender or 2 forks until the mixture is crumbly.

Place drained peaches in the prepared crock and stir 1/2 the crumbs into the fruit. Top with the rest of the crumbs. Before placing on the lid, I like to cover the crock with 2 paper towels, then add the lid. It keeps the moisture from falling on top of your dessert but this step is optional. Cook on low for 3 - 4 hours. (Check at 3 hours) Unplug and allow to stand for 15 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream and caramel syrup if you choose. 

A great cook knows that it's not what is on the table that matters, it's what's in the chairs around the table. ~ Christy Jordan, cookbook author

Upside Down Cranberry Pecan Cinnamon Rolls

You know how I love shortcuts, right?

(That's why you're sticking with me??=) 

Well these look like they came from a bakery, but they actually

came from my oven...and the cinnamon rolls came

from a Pillsbury can of dough.  YAY! 

I love the ease of dressing up these amazing canned biscuits.

And only FIVE ingredients!!!! 

Melted butter, a little brown sugar, craisins and pecans sprinkled in the bottom of the cake pan...lay the rolls on top and bake.  

That's it!  

These would be SO perfect for Christmas Eve...or morning...or anytime

you're hankering for something sweet.  

Whatever you do, don't miss making them. 

I found the recipe at Christy Jordan's  Southern Plate...and she found the

recipe at Pillsbury's website.   

MMMMMMM-Magnificent!

UPSIDE DOWN CRANBERRY PECAN CINNAMON ROLLS

1 can (about 13 ozs.) refrigerated cinnamon rolls

4 TB. butter, melted

1/4 c. brown sugar (light or dark), NOT packed

1/4 c. dried cranberries (craisins)

1/4 c. chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 375. 
Mix brown sugar and butter together. Spread in bottom of ungreased 9" cake pan.  Sprinkle with craisins and pecans.  Open the can of rolls and arrange them evenly in the pan. Bake 20 - 23 minutes or until lightly browned.  Remove from oven; turn upside down onto large serving plate; do NOT remove pan.  Let stand for about 5 minutes before removing.  Scrape anything left in the pan on top of the rolls.  Stir cinnamon roll icing (can place in a plastic bag if you want - cutting off corner to drizzle) until ready to be drizzled.  Enjoy every fabulous bite!

Leader Enterprise - October 11, 2017 - Keeping Meals Simple

Easy Crockpot Meatballs

Life can get pretty hectic with all the extra-curricular school activities. It always seems easier to get fast food, but if you can stick with a few simple recipes, everyone can eat (sometimes healthier) at home.  And that's always a good thing. 

It's been proven that sitting down to dinner together creates a strong family bond. I'm here to help you with ideas for some simple meals to add to your menu.
