Pizza Bites

I make this in my 8X8 or Pie Plate

8 frozen Italian Meatballs -- thawed
2 Colby Jack Sting Cheese
1 can Grands Biscuits
Pam Cooking Spray
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/4 tsp Garlic Salt
1 1/2 TBS Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Pizza Sauce (for dipping)

Flatten each biscuit.  Cut the string cheese into 4ths and the meatballs in half.  Place 1 piece of the cut up string cheese in between the meatball halves and place that in the middle of the flattened biscuit.  Fold the meatball and cheese up in the biscuit and place it in the pie plate with the sean on the bottom.  Do this with all 8 biscuits, meatballs, and cheese pieces.  Then in a small bowl mix italian seasoning, garlic salt, and parmesan cheese.  Spray the tops of the biscuits with Pam and sprinkle the parmesan and seasoning mixture over the top.  Bake at 350 for 20-30 until a nice golden brown.  Serve with the pizza sauce for dipping. 

*For a change use 3 slices of pepperoni instead of a meatball or use mozz. string cheese instead of colby jack.  You can even spread a little sauce inside the biscuit before putting in the meat and cheese.

Sinful Cookie

Make this in the hospitality trio

Ingredients
1 roll of refrigerated cookie dough
1/2 can of vanilla frosting
2 oz chopped walnuts
4 oz heath english toffee bits
1/4-1/2 cup of melted caramel

Press the cookie dough into the bottom of the hospitality trio and bake at 350 for 10-15 min.  Let cool.  Then spread frosting over the cookie and top with toffee bits and walnuts.  Drizzle with melted caramel.  Refrigerate for 1 hour.  Enjoy :)

6 layer cookie

I make this in my hospitality trio

1 can crescent rolls
1 bag chocolate chips
1 bag white chocolate chips
1/2 cup almond slices
1 1/2 cups cashew pieces and halves
14oz can sweetened condensed milk

Lay your crescent rolls out in the bottom of your trio as rectangles and then press together to cover the entire bottom.  Do not worry about the sides.  Layer the choc chips, white choc chips, almonds, and cashews over the crescent rolls.  Then evenly pour the sweetened condensed milk over all of it.  Bake at 350 for 20-30 min.  I bake it on the lowest rack setting so it cooks the bottom crescent roll without burning the top.

Mexican Peppers

I make this in my petite casserole

1 can chicken breast -- drained
1 single ready to serve brown rice
2.5 oz Mexican dipping cheese with Jalapenos -- cubed
Petite Sweet Peppers -- cut off tops and clean out seeds

Put the chicken, rice, and cheese in your petite casserole.  Cover and microwave for 1 min.  Mix well and stuff into peppers.  Serve and enjoy :)

Turkey Bacon Dip

I make this in my small bowl from the bowl set.

1 LB ground turkey

16 oz cream cheese
8 oz sharp cheddar cheese
green onion -- diced
2.5 oz real bacon bits

Put your turkey in the bowl set and microwave on high for 3 min.  Drain, crumble, and microwave for 3 more minutes then drain and rinse.  Mix turkey and cream cheese and microwave 1 min then mix in green onion (as much as desired -- I normally use 2 whole green onions), bacon bits, and cheese.  Enjoy on crackers, tortilla chips, or bread slices.
