Garlic Parmesan Roll Ups

Hello and happy Monday! I am excited today because I finished my taxes today, and I am going for a quick visit to the doctors (nothings wrong, just going to make sure I'm healthy) I  wanted to give you guys a super simple appetizer/snack that will be sure to please (at least I hope so). 

I served these garlic Parmesan Rolls Ups for a store meeting and everyone loved them! I was excited because I wasn't sure these turned out how I wanted, but everyone said how much they liked them and wanted the recipe. We were having a potluck, and the main dish was pizza. These went great with that, but these would also go great with pasta. 

Make your Garlic Butter (I put my Italian Seasoning w/the butter, you don't have to though)

Roll out your pie crust

Brush with butter

Top with Parmesan Cheese and Italian Seasoning

Cut into strips and twist (don't mind my peanut butter balls in the background, I was multitasking)

Golden brown and ready to serve!

Ingredients/recipe

1 box refrigerated pie crusts

½ cup butter

2 Cloves of Garlic (or 1 it’s up to you)

Parmesan Cheese (to taste)

Italian Seasoning (to taste)

First, soften your pie crust as directed on the box. While your pie crust is coming to room temperature, melt your butter and a cut your garlic open, don’t worry about slicing it you just want to get the garlic flavor) and put it in the pot with the butter. Let this infuse for about 5 minutes or longer if you want more of a garlicky flavor.

Next unroll one of your pie crusts. Once the butter is melted, brush the garlic butter mixture on the inside. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning to taste. Place the next pie crust on top of the first pie crust. Use a rolling pin roll over the top pie crust to seal these together.

Once you roll the two pie crusts together, brush the top layer with more butter, Parmesan Cheese and season to taste with your Italian Seasoning.  Using a large knife or a pizza cutter, cut into long strips. Once you have them all cut, hold the two ends and slowly twist. *** Place on a baking sheet (I covered mine with tin foil) and brush with the remaining garlic butter. If you don’t have any left just spray with a little pam.

Bake at 425 for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm or cold.

 

These are a fun snack and also fun to do with your kids too. I hope you guys try these. Enjoy!

***Quite a few of mine started coming apart when I twisted them. If this happens, no worries just keep moving along and just go for that rustic look.

Pop your snack

Happy Monday everyone! Did you enjoy your weekend?  I was woken up by crazy thunderstorms, lighting and rain pounding on my window. What is even crazier is Friday night there was a snowstorm! Midwest weather is the best…

I hope everyone had a good weekend.

Tonight I have a simple and great snack. Popcorn! I love this stuff and I am not talking about microwave popcorn. I am talking about fresh, popped popcorn. It is simply the best.

It is so simple and I believe it tastes much better than the popcorn in a bag, but those are nice in a pinch.

This is what you need.

Ingredients/recipe

About ¼ cup of oil, I use canola

½ cup of popcorn kernels

Add oil to a large pot, cover and heat. Test the oil by throwing in a few kernels, when they pop add the rest of the kernels and cover, leaving the lid a little ajar. When the kernels start popping, shake the pot to make sure the popcorn doesn’t burn. When the popping slows down, take off the heat, add to a large bowl and enjoy.

If you want you can add salt or butter, but I think the oil gives it great flavor and I use a pinch of salt. If you want you can make different versions. Put in whatever spice you want when you put in the kernels and follow the rest of the directions. This is a great snack and would be perfect for any game day or the Super Bowl!

Enjoy!

Super Bowl Snack

With the Super Bowl right around the corner I decided to stray away from healthy recipes and go for a little something different. Nachos! I love chips and salsas. It is one of my favorite snacks and once I start eating the chips I cannot stop!


Today I have such a simple way of making them. There are many variations you can do to this, but here is a super easy way to make them.

Ingredients/recipe

Tortilla chips
Cheese
Salsa

Take your favorite brand of tortilla chips and lay them out on a 9x13 pan. Add cheese all over the top of the chips and bake in the oven at 350 until the cheese is melted. Take out and let cool for a few minutes then put on a plate. Add your favorite salsa and enjoy!

I told you, super simple and delicious. Now if you want to take it a further step, add some avocado or sour cream. You can add black beans, cilantro, green onions and the list goes on and on. Go wild and enjoy these anytime you want a snack or for a easy party dish.

Enjoy!
