One night when I made homemade pizza I decided I wanted to make an Italian Pasta too. Since I had left over ingredients from my pizza's it was super easy to put together.   I found a recipe I liked on Pinterest I will link below.

Cheese Stuffed Croissant Rolls and Marinara Sauce

I have made homemade marinara sauce a few times. It is easy to make. I do not measure my ingredients.

Pepper. Oregano. Basil. Parsley. Italian Seasoning. Sugar. Cook on low heat until hot. Make sure to stir your sauce while it is cooking to keep it from sticking to the pot and boiling over.   Cheese stuffed croissant rolls are a favorite of mine to make.  I baked one batch with garlic butter sauce and one batch without.

Appetizers for Supper

Last night my Mama and I made appetizers for supper. Ever so often we like putting together a variety of finger foods for a quick and easy meal. In addition to a store bought already cooked rottisseri chicken, Mama cooked conecuh sausage and helped me put together ingredients for some simple appetizers I wanted to try. Instead of buying already made dips in a jar I decided to make two. Ranch Dip. You will need an 8oz container of sour cream (larger if feeding a lot of people.) and a packet of dry ranch ingredients usually found in the store with the salad dressing. Mix the two ingredients together and you have a great tasting ranch dip. I prefer it over premade. Onion Dip. Like the ranch dip I used two ingredients. One 8oz container of sour cream and one packet of Lipton Onion Recipe Soup and Dip Mix. Mix the two ingredients together. I preferred this over premade as well. Olives and Cheese. For this appetizer I used green olives with stuffed pimento, g
