Spicy Sausage Cream Cheese Rolls

So I've never actually made these, but my mom has had them off and on and swears they're amazing. I thought since football season is starting they would be a good post because it's yummy snack food!! This is a single recipe, but it would probably be a good idea to triple it, which would make about 40 rolls. 

Ingredients:

• Regular size Jimmy Dean Hot Sausage package
• 1 block of cream cheese
• 1 small can of chopped jalepenos
• several packages (6-8) of Pillsbury original croissants

Directions: 

Cook the meat in a skillet and then drain the extra juice out. Add the block of softened ceram cheese and jalepenos to the sausage and mix all together. Then spoon the mixture onto the croissant roll and seal the croissant together so the mixture doesn't leak. Cook in the oven for 10-12 minutes at 425 degrees (or whatever croissant package says). 

Enjoy!!

Puffed Pear Pancake

3 eggs
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp almond or vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1 ripe pear, thinly sliced
2 Tbs sugar
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
2 Tbs butter

Preheat oven to 450. Place a 12-in cast-iron skillet or other oven-safe skillet in the oven to warm it (I used a glass pie dish).

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, flour, extract, and salt until smooth. In a separate bowl, toss the pear with the sugar and cinnamon.

Carefully remove the preheated skillet from the oven and add teh butter, swirling until it is melted. Arrange the pear slices in a single layer in the skillet and pour in the batter.

Return the skillet to the oven and bake 25 minutes or until puffed and golden. Serve with maple syrup.

Easy Bar-b-Que Country Style Ribs

boneless pork ribs
onion
salt & pepper
bar-b-que sauce

Place pork ribs on a bed on sliced onion, season with salt and pepper, cover with warm water, and cook in crockpot on low overnight. Do not remove lid (doing so adds about 2 hours to your cooking time). In the morning, place ribs into a casserole dish on top of a layer of bar-b-que sauce, then cover ribs with more sauce, cover and refrigerate until dinner. When ready to use, move ribs to a tray of aluminum foil and place on the grill to heat through and carmelize (about 20 minutes). Alternatively, you can bake them in a 375 degree oven to do the same.
