Cinco De Mayo "Sopapillas"

I've really been slacking on the holidays this year, thinking that my son has outgrown the theme dinners.    He always surprises me at the last minute and I'm scrambling to come up with something.   I had already planned tacos, so I went looking for a quick appetizer or dessert.    I saw lots of sopapilla recipes using crescent dough, which I didn't have, but I did have Pillsbury pizza dough. 

I heated 2" of vegetable oil to 375.   I unrolled the dough and used a pizza cutter to slice it into strips and then triangles.    I fried them until golden, Jake tossed them with cinnamon sugar and then let them rest on a cooling rack placed on top of a sheet pan.    Serve with a drizzle of honey.

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract. 

Easy Stuffed Waffles with Sweet and Savory Fillings

Stuffed waffles are a fun twist on the classic waffle—crispy on the outside and packed with tasty fillings inside. I recently got a stuffed waffle maker, and I’m loving how it turns waffles into little pockets of deliciousness! The best part? You don’t need a strict recipe because this is a perfect “clean out the fridge” meal. Grab whatever leftovers or fillings you have on hand, stuff ’em inside, and waffle away! Here’s what I tried this time, but feel free to get creative and make it your own.
