Pizza Crescent RollsThe Girl Who Ate Everything


I double this recipe for our family of five eaters. There are leftovers for lunch the next day.


Ingredients:
1 pkg crescent rolls- I used the reduced fat cresent rolls and it was really yummy
4 string cheese sticks (can use low-fat),cut in half
16-24 pepperoni pieces- I used turkey pepperoni

Garlic Butter:
2 TBS butter, melted
1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 TBS grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350.

On each crescent roll triangle, place 2-3 pieces of pepperoni and 1 half piece of cheese. Roll up and place seam side down on a cookie sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.

While rolls are baking, combine melted butter, seasoning, garlic, and cheese.

When the rolls are done, brush the tops with the melted butter mixture.

Serve them with marinara sauce for dipping.

See what I mean about easy?


This is super easy and the kids really love it!

1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp oregano leaves
1 can red enchilada sauce
1/2 red onion diced
 3 garlic cloves minced
cheese
about 12-16 corn tortillas

Place chicken in the crockpot with water boullion, salt and oregano. Cook on high for 4-6 hours or until you can shred it. In a pan heat 1Tb olive oil add onion and garlic, cook until tender. Pull the cooked chicken out of the crockpot and add to the onion and garlic shredding as it cooks, add about 1/2 cup of the broth that the chicken was cooked in ( just to keep chicken moist). Spray a 9x13 pan with cooking spray. Pour just enough enchilada sauce on the bottom to cover the pan reserving the rest of the can for the top. Place 2 flour tortillas in the microwave for 20 seconds then put chicken down the center of the tortilla, roll tortilla and place in the pan, repeat until the chicken is gone. Top with the rest of the enchilada sauce and cheese. We like to top with sour cream and mango salsa. Enjoy!!!
