PIE CRUST CRACKERS

Here is something I never would have thought of but don't they look good!

Crackers made from pie crust.  Amazing what you find on the internet.
I think these would also be really good with sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on top of them.

2 ready-made refrigerator pie crusts.

1  egg (beaten)

salt and pepper (optional)

toppings of choice such as shredded cheese, bacon bits etc.

1.  Cut dough with cookie cutter or knife to shape and size you want.

2.  Put a few little holes in cracker with a fork.  Place on ungreased cookie sheet.

3.  Brush tops with egg. Sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired.  Add other toppings such as cheese, etc.

4.  Bake at 425 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

GIFT CARD HOLDER

What a neat idea this is.  

I have come up with all kinds of ways to present gift cards as gifts without buying a gift card holder because they are so expensive for what you get.

I'm going to have fun making some of these...

The ideas are rushing through my head on how to design them...fun fun!

Go here for directions..

KATIE'S OATMEAL RAISIN PUDDING

For some reason I woke up bright and early at 5:00 am and started thinking about breakfast recipes.  

So I decided to go on a search and see what I came up with for unique oatmeal recipes.

I love oatmeal, not just for breakfast but in cookies and cakes etc.

I always think of it when I hear the words 'comfort foods' because there's something about it that brings back some nice childhood memories for me.  

Anyway,  here is one I want to try, looks so good...

2 cups milk

1 serving oatmeal (already cooked)

1 to 2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 1/2 tablespoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup raisins

 

Combine all ingredients and bring to a boil.

 

Turn down heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until pudding is desired consistency.

Thanks Katie!

CINNAMON SUGAR APPLE ROLLS

Crescent Rolls are one of my favorite foods.

There are so many thing you can make out of them.  I like to make the ones with sloppy joe mixture and cheese rolled up inside of them, the crescent dogs, and last week I made them with cheese and sausage links inside and a mixture of hash browns and scrambled eggs along with them.  It was a quick and easy 'breakfast supper'.  I've also filled them with shredded chicken and that is good too.

Now I want to try making some desserts with them.  Here is a fun and easy one...

2 package crescent rolls

1 large apple

3 tablespoons butter, melted

4 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons cinnamon

 

1.  Cut the apple into 8 wedges, leaving the peel on.

2.  Unroll the crescent rolls and brush with melted butter.

3.  Mix the sugar and cinnamon together.  Sprinkle over the crescent rolls.

4.  Place an apple wedge on each one and roll it up, tucking corners underneath.

5.  Place on baking sheet and sprinkle with remaining sugar and cinnamon mixture.

6.  Bake 350 degrees for about 15 min.
