Pepperoni Pizza Rolls

I was originally going to make these for a party we had. But since I wasn't feeling well, I didn't make them. Instead I made them for lunch for me and Marley.

Biscuit dough

cheese cubes

pepperoni

1 egg

parmesan cheese

garlic powder

Flatten out a biscuit and place pepperoni and cheese in center. 

Fold up the biscuit around cheese & pepperoni to make a little ball

Place seam side down in baking dish. In separate bowl beat egg and pour over top. Sprinkle with garlic powder and parmesan cheese.  

Bake at 425 degrees for 18-20 minutes.

Marley only liked the pepperoni. Weird kid! 

Warm Bean Dip

I went to a family friend's candle party a few weeks ago. While there I had the most amazing chip dip ever! Of course when I got home I looked online for the recipe, just to make sure I was making it right. 

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1 cup sour cream

2 cans (16 ounces, each) refried beans

1 packet taco seasoning

2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Spread beans on bottom of baking dish. 

Mix cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning until smooth. 

(I heated it in the microwave to help it mix better)

Layer cheese mix on top of beans. Layer shredded cheddar cheese on top of that. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is melted.

I think for next time, I wouldn't add the whole packet of the taco seasoning, it was just a little too much for me. And I would probably stir my cream cheese/sour cream more to make it really smooth because there were big chunks of cream cheese still, and I didn't care for that either. Other than that, it was delicious!

After Marley got over her fear of Jack, I think she really enjoyed it. She keeps asking when he's coming back, so maybe he'll make a few visits throughout the year just to keep an eye on her. She did say that next year he'll watch Mason instead of her.

Cheesecake Dip

I could eat cheesecake every day! So when I saw this recipe on Pinterest, I decided to make it to bring to my family Christmas. 

1 jar marshmallow fluff

2 cans cherry pie filling

1 box of graham crackers

1 8oz cream cheese (softened)

2 small tubs of cool whip

(I made this in a bowl because my 9x13 dish was being used for another recipe, but it would probably work best in a cake pan) 

Crush up one sleeve of the graham crackers and place on bottom of dish. 

In separate bowl mix marshmallow fluff and cream cheese until smooth (I warmed mine in the microwave to make it a little easier to mix) Then mix in the cool whip, one tub at a time. Place on top of graham crackers. 

Pour cherries on top (you can use any kind of topping you want) 

Use remaining graham crackers to dip! Enjoy! 

This was SO GOOD! My younger cousin said "you don't need the crackers, just use a spoon" So I guess he really liked it. I had some left overs and I may have eaten it with a spoon.
