Goat Cheese & Grape Tomato Crescent

What do do with left over grape tomatoes and goat cheese? Wrap it up! These make for a great appetizer. I used a small package of crescent rolls because I am only cooking for two, but just double the recipe if cooking for more. No disappointment here. Easy, easy, easy.


1 Small Package of Pillsbury Crescent (4 dinner rolls)
4 Grape Tomates, sliced
1 Ounce Goat Cheese
2 Teaspoons of Balsamic Vinaigrette
Cooking Spray


Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Unroll crescent rolls onto a parchment lined baking sheet.

Place 3 slices of grape tomato and crumbled goat cheese on each crescent.

Top with 1/2 teaspoon of balsamic on each one.

Roll up each crescent and lightly mist with cooking spray.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

Let cool for just 5 minutes before digging in.

Enjoy!!

Baked Chicken Nuggets

We bread and bake asparagus so often, that it was time to venture out and try something new to bake. I think we made a wise decision to start with chicken nuggets!

Bonus...it's a healthy option!


16 oz (2 large) skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into even bite size pieces
Salt and Pepper, to taste
2 Teaspoons Olive Oil
6 Tablespoons Bread Crumbs
2 Tablespoons Panko Breadcrumbs
1 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
2 Tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese
Olive Oil Spray

This recipe also works with italian seasoned bread crumbs.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray.

Season chicken with salt and pepper.

Put the olive oil in one bowl and the breadcrumbs, panko, italian seasoning and parmesan in another.

Put the chicken in the bowl with the olive oil and mix well so that the olive oil evenly coats all of the chicken.

Take the chicken, one piece at a time, and place into the breadcrumb mixture to coat.

Place the chicken on the baking sheet and lightly spray the top with olive oil spray.

Bake 10 minutes, then turn over and cook for another 4-5 minutes.

Enjoy!!

Sriracha Cocktail Sauce

Paul and I have been on a hot food kick lately, trying to make each meal a bit more spicy than the last.  For some reason, this usually involves adding Sriracha to the mix.  This time we used it while making a cocktail sauce.

2 Tablespoons Ketchup
2/3 can of Tomato Paste
2 Tablespoons Sriracha
2 Tablespoons Horseradish
1 Tablespoon of Worcestershire Sauce
1 1/2 Tablespoons Minced Garlic
1 Teaspoon of Lemon Juice

I could involve pictures with this post, but let's be honest, I think we all know how to mix ingredients together.  I will, however, add a picture of Sriracha so everyone knows what to look for next time you are at the grocery store.

Enjoy!!
