Pizza Pinwheels

Howdy everyone! This weeks delectable treat is an appetizer that's good enough to be the main course: Pizza Pinwheels. Freshly baked and a real treat to have. I use pre-shredded cheese and sliced pepperoni so it come together in a snap. I made these when I had a bunch of people over and they disappeared very quickly. I hope they're are just as popular with your crew.



Lets get started!

Ingredients;
half a recipe of dinner roll (recipe found here)
1 package of sliced pepperoni
4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese



Begin by preparing the dinner roll dough as outlined till it has risen the first time. Note: you can use any sturdy bread recipe that makes about 24 rolls for this application. After the dough has risen it is ready to shape. Start by punching your dough down so it falls a little. Separate into two balls. Grease a rolling pin, a 2 baking sheet and your work surface. Work one ball at a time into rectangles. Top with cheese and pepperoni. With the longer side of the rectangle roll the dough just as you would cinnamon rolls. Slice every 1 1/2 to 2 inched and let rise covered for 30 minutes on a greased baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 10-15 minutes. Let cool slightly and serve. Keep left overs in the fridge for one week. (If they last that long)

There it is. It's that simply. I like to serve these along side some hot marinara sauce and cool creamy ranch. How ever you like to eat them ... Enjoy!

Spicy Chicken on Creamy tomato sauce.

Since getting married I have noticed that my heat tolerance has decreased, owing to the fact that I don't make a lot of spicy things for me and my love. I would like to have the heat turned up more, However,  I really like having a husband that will eat what I cook, and eat with me. Though once in a while my appetite must be quenched. So, it's Flavor Town or bust. The bus to get us there today is chicken, pasta on a road of creamy red sauce fueled spicy kick. With my skillet in hand and spice cupboard by side I've got a ticket to ride.

Wake up taste buds! I'm about to knock your socks off.



Unfortunately I cannot share the whole recipe here with you but if you follow the link here you can make it for yourself.



I used chicken instead of the shrimp that it called for. I used only half a pound for the two of us. The red pepper flacks are a nice touch that gives it a little something extra. I will defiantly make this again when I need another heat fix. As always...






Enjoy!

Tamale Casserole

Hi there Friends! Sorry it's been so long since my last post. Life have been throwing my a few curve balls lately. Most of them good, but, I am glad to be back. Here is a recipe by Tracy, from The Kitchen is my Playground. For this recipe you will need to go to the source this time. But not to worry just click the link here and have fun!

This recipe is delicious and great for feeding a crowd. We had leftovers for lunch for days after. You start with sausage, corn, tomato sauce, peppers and lots of spices. Top that with a wonderful corn bread topping and bake. It's a little bit spicy, so it's not for those that don't like heat in their mouths. Though my husband who doesn't like spicy things did enjoyed it. He did say, however, that it might have tasted better with ground beef instead of sausage. So make what you will with it, and as always-- Enjoy!
