New Kitchen

So, we have now been in our new home, here in the DFW area for a week now and I am LOVING my new kitchen!
I have been cooking my heart out and every morning I wake up with more and more recipes I want to try!

Today we are having Tim's family over, for the first time in the new house and I am cooking up a feast of new foods I have never tried cooking before.

First up,

Easy Baked Cheese & Vegetable Twist


What You Need

2 Eggs
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Italian* Three Cheese Blend
3 cups Frozen broccoli cuts, thawed, drained
1/2 lb. fresh mushrooms, cut into quarters
1/2 cup Cherry tomatoes, cut in half
4 Green onions, sliced
2 cans (8 oz. each) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
Make It

HEAT oven to 375ºF.

MIX first 3 ingredients in large bowl until well blended. Stir in next 4 ingredients.

UNROLL crescent dough; separate into 16 triangles. Arrange in 11-inch circle on foil-lined baking sheet, with short sides of triangles overlapping in center and points of triangles toward outside. You should have 3 or 4 extra, use them to fill in the middle so the hole is covered. Spoon cheese mixture onto dough near center of circle. Bring outside points of triangles up over filling, then tuck under dough in center of ring to cover filling.

BAKE 35 to 40 min. or until crust is golden brown and filling is heated through.


Same concept just with PIZZA!

Pizza Twist


What You Need

2 cans (8 oz. each) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
1 14oz. jar of pizza sauce
2 1/2 cups of Finely shredded Monterey Jack & Cheddar cheese
1 pkg. pepperonis

HEAT oven to 375ºF.

UNROLL crescent dough; separate into 16 triangles. Arrange in 11-inch circle on foil-lined baking sheet, with short sides of triangles overlapping in center and points of triangles toward outside. You should have 3 or 4 extra, use them to fill in the middle so the hole is covered.
Now spoon pizza sauce onto crescent dough then layer cheese and pepperonis as high as you want then bring outside points of triangles up over filling.

BAKE 35 to 40 min. or until crust is golden brown and filling is heated through.



I am also cooking Salmon patties with lemon/pepper rice but I will post that up at a later date CHEERS!
Special thanks to Amber for the idea of filling in the middle with more crescent rolls!
