Pringles Brownies Recipe

February 13, 2012 By 5 Comments

Pringles is something that I like to keep stocked in my pantry. Not only are they a tasty treat for when you want a salty snack, they can also be crushed and used in different recipes like my meatloaf recipe I recently posted.

I have a recipe that I want to share for brownies that include Pringles. This isn’t my recipe, but wanted to share because you just might want to make them for Valentine’s Day tomorrow to surprise a friend or loved one.

Getting Creative With Pillsbury Crescents – #creativecrescents

February 7, 2012 By

The last month or so I have been having fun creating quite a few different recipes with the Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. My first recipe I created was my Pepperoni Pizza Pinwheels that was a hit with my family and something that has already been requested again quite a few times!

After making the pizza pinwheels I decided I wanted to make something SWEET with these crescent rolls. Next I made some Dessert Crescent Rolls that included marshmallows, white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips and Hersheys mini kisses! I had to make these twice because they were so good!

I have more Pillsbury Crescent Rolls in the fridge awaiting my next recipe. For those that have never used these rolls, the Pillsbury Crescent Rolls is a pre-made roll dough that is available in different varieties (Original, Big & Flaky, Butter Flake, Garlic Butter and more). This dough is versatile and can be used to make so many different recipes.

Right now I am participating in the Creative Crescent Recipe Sweepstakes. I am among 30 different bloggers that have created a creative recipe using the Pillsbury Crescent Roll products.

I submitted my Pepperoni Pizza Pinwheels and I need your votes! By entering your vote, you have a chance to win an awesome prize. There are some very creative recipe you will want to try to try yourself! :)

Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf Recipe

February 6, 2012 By 3 Comments
We like bacon and we like meatloaf therefore I had to make the family a bacon wrapped meatloaf.

(my meatloaf right when I put it in the oven)

Now this wasn’t my first time making a meatloaf wrapped in bacon, I actually made one last year that I BBQ’d. With this meatloaf I cooked last week, I used a couple ideas I got from The Pioneer Woman’s meatloaf recipe and added some of my own. I got quite a few compliments and I thought it was so good I had meatloaf leftovers for breakfast the next morning.

Here is my version of a bacon wrapped meatloaf….

Apple Butter Scones Recipe and a Hot Cup Of Lipton Green Tea Superfruit + Giveaway

February 2, 2012 By

One thing I enjoy drinking both hot and cold is tea. How I drink my tea depends on my mood. During the hot summer months, I like to enjoy a nice glass of iced tea to quench my thirst. During the winter months like like this month, I sometimes will enjoy a nice hot cup of tea in the morning to get my day started on the right track.

This month I have been asked to pair a food with the Lipton Green Tea Superfruit products. I received three new amazing Lipton Green Tea Superfruit varieties pictured below:

I am a big fan of raspberry, so I am pairing the Lipton Green Tea Superfruit Red Goji and Raspberry flavor with my simple  homemade Apple Butter Scones. I actually drank a hot cup of this YUMMY tea this morning with my Apple Butter Scones drenched with pure and creamy honey. For those of you that have never tried the white, creamy honey, you are missing out!

Check out my stack of Apple Butter Scones… You can eat them plain or serve them with honey or maybe your favorite fruit preserves…

and don’t forget the Lipton Tea to dunk them in….    Now for the recipe…..

  • 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour

  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup apple butter
  • 1/4 cup milk
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl add flour, sugar, baking powder and salt and mix until blended.
  2. Next add egg, butter, sour cream, apple butter and milk and mix/knead until mixture turns into dough form that does not stick to your hands. You can also use a stand mixer using the dough hook which is easier.
  3. On a floured surface, use a rolling pin, flatten dough to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into triangle/wedge shapes and place on cookie sheet.
  4. Bake at 400 degrees for 13 to 15 minutes or until golden grown.
  5. Remove from oven and serve!

 
This is just one idea to make with the Lipton Green Tea Superfruit varieties. If you are a fan of green tea, you will want to definitely check out all the 20+ different exotic blends that Lipton offers that include 100% natural green tea.

Now that I have shared what I would pair with these refreshing Lipton Green Tea Superfruits, I want to know, how do you enjoy your tea?
