Breakfast Recipe

A couple of months ago My friend, Elizabeth, served these at her brunch. They disappeared as soon as she had them out of the oven. This morning I decided to give them a try. I did not have Monterey Jack so I substituted Cheddar.

Here's what is in them.


One package of sausage
1 cup ranch dressing
1 1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese
pepper
package of pre-made mini Fillo shells (found in the freezer section next to the pie crust)

Brown your sausage, add dressing, cheese and pepper. Fill shells with mixture and bake at 350 for 5 min. or until cheese has melted. Serve warm. That is it, so simple. My husband loved these, my kids would not try them. They said it was too early to eat dressing.

The next time I make these, I will leave out some of the dressing and half the recipe. I had 15 shells but had enough of the mixture to make 30.

Cinnamon Blueberry Crumble

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. Every year we go to my mom's Christmas morning. She fixes a huge breakfast, french toast, biscuits and gravy, hash browns, eggs, bacon, really anything you can think of, she has. This year she also fixed something new. Everyone loved it, and I think it was easy to fix

Cinnamon Blueberry Crumble

9 Rhodes Anytime Cinnamon rolls
21 ounce can blueberry pie filling
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
cream cheese frosting (included with Anytime Cinnamon Rolls)

Arrange frozen rolls in 3 rows of 3 in a sprayed 9x13 inch baking pan. Spread blueberry pie filling evenly over and between rolls. Combine butter, flour, brown sugar and pecans and sprinkle over pie filling. Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes. Drizzle with cream cheese frosting while still warm.

This would also be good using apple or cherry pie filling.

I found this recipe for Cream Cheese Tarts at Cheryl's Fascinating finds They are so good, easy to make and my kids loved them. I'm posting a picture that Cheryl used because by the time I got around to taking a picture of the ones I had made, they were gone. If you like them, go to Cheryl's blog and let her know how good they were and tell her how you found them.

Peppermint pinwheel cookies

The other day I was flipping through my new Southern Living Magazine and came across these cookies. I just had to make them, I knew they would be a big hit. Well, when I read the recipe and came across the "roll out" part, I should have just turned the page and never looked back. Half way through, I kept thinking how crazy I was for doing this and that I would never make them again.

Well gosh darn it, they did turn out cute and my kids loved them. No sooner would I have a pan out of the oven and iced, they were gone. The nice thing about this recipe is, you can make several batches, roll them up and stick them in the freezer. I made them on Thursday and pulled them out and baked on Friday. I only had to cut in slices and they were in the oven within a couple of minutes.

If I do make them again, I will probably just make the regular cake icing, powdered sugar, Crisco, milk, vanilla, salt, instead of the cream cheese icing. My kids liked the icing, but it was a little too soft and thin for my liking.
