Halloween Crescent Mummy Dogs
October 3, 2011 By Leave a Comment
**I know, I know I promised to make $uper $aver™ recipes more healthy, but fall is in the air as I write this and I LOVE Halloween parties for kids. There are a TON of different recipes for these “Mummy Dogs” but I think the Crescent Roll recipe is the easiest and fastest. (They recommend doing a mini version, but I think that is too time consuming unless you are making a pre-school tray for little fingers.) Who could resist eating these little mummies? *1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® … [Read more...]

Thanks for the Recipe Dad – Stuffed Shells
December 28, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Stuffed Shells Salvatore This recipe was created by my dad and I think he made it for us every Christmas Eve forever. Do not overcook the shells or they will get torn too easily when you fill them. I always cook extra shells in case they break when filling because I like the stuffed shells to cook and serve perfectly in tact. I just serve the broken ones on another day for lunch. Oven: 350 Cooking: 30 minutes Ingredients 1 pound extra-large shells 1 tablespoon cooking … [Read more...]
