Chocolate and Peanut Butter Crescent Rolls

I got this recipe Here. It was a fast, easy treat. I like Karson to eat peanut butter so this was a good treat for him. Only the baby couldn't eat them and he was a little sad. I think I like the cinnamon/sugar ones I made the other day better, but these were good too.

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Crescent Rolls:
Original recipe by Cathy at Noble Pig
1 tube of crescent rolls
Peanut butter
Semi sweet chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate)
Or use marshmallows instead of chocolate chips (I saw this on another blog and thought peanut butter and marshmallow would be a fabulous combination. Heck leave the chocolate in and have peanut butter, chocolate and marshmallow. Yum)

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place the unrolled crescent rolls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Spread a layer of peanut butter on each triangle; top with chocolate chips.

Roll from the bottom of the triangle to the point. Place in the oven and bake for 10-11 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve while hot. Enjoy.

Turkey Cheese Pockets

I got this recipe from another favorite source. Kraft food and family magazine. I love this magazine. It always has fast easy recipes. Of course this is another meal I shouldn't be eating but oh well.

2 oz. Cream Cheese, Softened (I used more)
1 Tbsp Miracle Whip Dressing (I will leave this out next time, it made it taste to much like the dressing)
1 tsp Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard (I didn't have any and probably wouldn't like it anyway)
4 Slices shaved smoked turkey breast finely chopped. (I used the already cubed turkey but cut it into smaller pieces)
1/4 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese (I also probably used more than 1/4 Cup)
1 can refrigerated biscuits

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix cream cheese, dressing and mustard in small bowl until well blended. Add turkey and cheese; mix well. Set aside.

Press or roll out each biscuit to 3 1/2 inch circle. Place a heaping teaspoon of the mixture onto each biscuit.

Fold dough over filling to make small turnover shapes. Firmly press edges of dough together to seal. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Bake 10 - 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve hot.

Cinnamon Crescent Rolls

I love crescent rolls anyway so I came across this recipe and it looked so yummy. Then today we were driving home and Karson asked me if I'd make some cinnamon rolls so I thought we'd try these. Yummy. I might as well just link every thing to her blog because everything looks good to me. We like the same things.

Cinnamon Crescent Rolls

1 package of refrigerated crescent roll dough
Butter
1 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
3/4 cup sugar

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine the cinnamon and sugar together and mix well. Place the unrolled crescent rolls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Spread a layer of butter on each triangle; top with cinnamon and sugar mixture. Roll from the bottom of the triangle to the point.

Place in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve while hot. Enjoy.

Peanut Butter Brownies

Midnight already? It's late, I have to work in the morning, and of course I can't sleep. I actually am not feeling well. Probably because I went to bed after 2am last night. Oh that's for another post...Instead of sleeping, I'll post another yummy recipe from HERE. I've learned that besides writing, I actually really enjoy cooking to relieve stress. Ok, maybe it's the eating unhealthy treats that is my stress reliever. But whatever, these brownies were tasty.

Peanut Butter Truffle Brownies
seen at RealMomKitchen

Brownie Base
1 box (1 lb 6.5 oz) Betty Crocker® Original Supreme brownie mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on brownie mix box

Filling
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups powdered sugar
2 teaspoons milk

Topping
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup butter

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom only of 13×9-inch pan with cooking spray or shortening. (For easier cutting, line pan with foil, then grease foil on bottom only of pan. I do this all the time when I make brownies and bars)

In medium bowl, stir brownie mix, water, oil and eggs until well blended. Spread in pan. Cook according to package directions or until toothpick inserted 2 inches from side of pan comes out almost clean. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

In medium bowl, beat filling ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Spread mixture evenly over brownie base.

In small microwavable bowl, microwave topping ingredients uncovered on High 30 to 60 seconds; stir until smooth. Cool 10 minutes; spread over filling. Refrigerate about 30 minutes or until set. Store covered in refrigerator. (I take it out or the fridge about 15 minutes before serving. This allows the chocolate on top to soften a little)

Peanut Butter Sheet Cake

I'm a lover of recipe sites. When I can't sleep at night I browse recipes and make lists in my head of all the food I want to cook. I love trying new things. One of my favorite recipe blogs is THIS. I goth this recipe here.

I liked these, but I didn't love them. I think the frosting would be very yummy on Betty Crocker brownies. I think I'll try that next time but I imagine it would be awesome. I made a mistake of using the smaller jelly roll pan instead of a regular size. They turned out super thick and with thick frosting. Also I was at the store searching for buttermilk and realized I have no clue what it is or where to find it and I didn't find any. And I looked everywhere. I found a substitution for buttermilk on line but didn't have what I needed so I just used milk, they may have turned out better if I used what was on the recipe.
