Garlic Asiago Bites

My aunt has a really fun recipe for quick cinnamon bites using refrigerated biscuit dough. I love making this recipe for a quick fun breakfast or even just a snack for a movie or something.

Basically, just a little butter, sugar and cinnamon, cut the rolls into fourths and bake it.

Last week I decided to try something tasty with asiago cheese, garlic, and butter to make a tasty bread dish to go along with our spaghetti. It was a smashing success! Just writing this is making me want to have more right now. I used 2 whole cloves of garlic for just 1 can of biscuits and it might have been a little much for some people's tastes, but we liked it. I don't really follow a recipe anytime I make these, but here's the basic idea. (It's really easy to make more depending on how many cans of dough you have.) I do about 2 Tablespoons of butter for each can of dough, like I said I did 2 garlic cloves and just grated some asiago cheese in there. If you're doing the cinnamon, use 2 Tablespoons of butter, 1/4 cup of sugar and a couple hefty shakes of cinnamon. Mmmm. Bake them at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, but it may be more like 30 if you do a few cans at once.

I'm trying to think of what other "flavors" would be good. Any suggestions?

Ice Cream Sandwiches

For a fun and tasty treat, put a scoop of ice cream between two cookies. We have a handy-dandy ice cream sandwich maker from Pampered Chef (thanks mom!) and we enjoy using it to make this quick snack. Of course, mine never turn out like the picture in the catalog but they're still yummy!

Chicken Pillows

This is a classic recipe in my house growing up. They're so tasty! I have recently made one small change -- I add asiago cheese into the mixture and it is so yummy!

2 cups chicken, cooked and cubed
⅔ cup mushrooms, sliced
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
10 Tablespoons butter, divided
15 refrigerator crescent rolls
⅔ cup crushed Stove Top stuffing

Cream together cream cheese and 4 Tablespoons butter. Add chicken and mushrooms, stir until evenly mixed. Spread crescent rolls out. Put ¼ cup chicken mixture into center of each roll. Bring edges up to the middle, tuck and seal.

Melt 6 Tablespoons butter. Dip chicken pillows in butter, then roll in stuffing mix. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes at 375°.

It is too much work to take pictures all the way during the preparation of a meal. For one thing, I never remember until the end. And for another, I don't really feel like blogging that step-by-step right now for this. So at least for a little while I'll be changing this to include just the recipe and any pictures I get of the finished product.
