Cream Cheese Spread:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian salad dressing
Pinwheels:
2 (10 inch) flour tortillas
2 cups finely shredded Romaine lettuce
1/3 cup roughly chopped banana peppers, patted dry
6 thin slices salami or sandwich pepperoni
6 thin slices ham
6 slices provolone cheese
1/3 cup roughly chopped roasted red peppers, patted dry
Combine cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, garlic powder,
and Italian salad dressing in a bowl until well blended.
Spread half the cream cheese mixture over each tortilla, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the
edge. Evenly scatter lettuce over cream cheese spread, and top with banana peppers.
Evenly layer salami, ham, and provolone on each tortilla and top with roasted red peppers.
Roll up tightly, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Use a sharp serrated
knife to slice into 1-inch pinwheels, and serve.
2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
2 (10 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 cup butter
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle Mountain Dew
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish
Cut each apple into 8 equal wedges; set aside.
Separate crescent roll dough into triangles. Roll each apple wedge in crescent roll dough starting
at the smallest end. Pinch to seal and place in the prepared baking dish.
Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir sugar and cinnamon into melted butter until
combined. Pour over apple dumplings, followed by soda.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes.
1 15 oz box of butter pecan cake mix
1 16 oz can of coconut pecan frosting
4 large eggs
3/4 cup of vegetable or canola oil
1 cup of milk
1/2 cup of finely chopped pecans
For the Sauce:
1 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup of unsalted butter
1/2 cup of finely chopped pecans
Begin by preheating the oven to a temperature of 350°F. Pan spray a 9×13-inch baking dish to
prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter pecan cake mix, coconut pecan frosting, eggs, oil,
and milk. Using an electric mixer, blend the mixture until it achieves a smooth consistency.
Incorporate the chopped pecans into the mixture by gently folding them in.
Transfer the mixture to the previously greased baking dish.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-40 minutes.
Once removed from the oven, utilize the handle end of a wooden spoon to poke holes throughout
the entirety of the cake. Set the cake aside momentarily.
For the sauce, use a medium saucepan. Place it over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter.
Subsequently, introduce the sweetened condensed milk to the pan, ensuring it's stirred
thoroughly.
When the mixture achieves a simmering point, fold in the chopped pecans.
Remove the sauce from the heat source. Proceed to pour it uniformly over the cake, ensuring it
permeates the holes and flows along the sides.
Allow the cake to cool to room temperature prior to serving.
Extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup thinly sliced shallots
8 ounces mild or spicy ground sausage (turkey, pork, or chicken. Plant-based sausage also works!)
4 naan breads
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
A few pinches of dried oregano
4 to 5 ounces grated Fontina cheese
2/3 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese
2 to 3 Tbsp. fresh sage leaves
Hot honey and cracked black pepper for garnish (balsamic glaze would also be delish if you don’t have hot honey)
Preheat oven to 425ºF. Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Crumble sausage into pan and cook until browned, about 6
to 7 minutes. Remove some grease.
Arrange naan breads on a large rimmed baking sheet. Spoon pumpkin puree evenly over each bread, and sprinkle with a little dried oregano. Sprinkle Fontina cheese evenly over each bread, followed by sausage and shallot mixture. Spoon small dollops of ricotta cheese on top.
Place sage leaves in a small bowl and drizzle with ~1 Tbsp. olive oil, rubbing oil into leaves. Scatter sage leaves over each naan bread, and lightly drizzle each with olive oil.
Transfer pan to the oven and bake for ~15 minutes, until golden and crisp. Drizzle each pizza with hot honey, and garnish with cracked black pepper.
