Thank you for join me on my culinary adventure as I sample and document all my (hopefully) tasty and creative meals. I'm looking to expand my eating and cooking horizons, as long as they don't involve mushrooms or olives, or most meats......

I hope you enjoy my food blog (flog?)

Super Snacks

Sorry Max, the Jets didn't make it this year.




Since the Superbowl calls for some serious snacking. I was looking for a new, easy, tasty recipe, and came across these. Bacon wrapped, cheese-stuffed crescent rolls.

Eh, I give them a C+

They were tasty enough, you just can't go too wrong with cheese and bacon. But still disappointing.


The recipe calls for 1 lb cream cheese, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp pepper.

Roll into little grape-sized balls, and let set in the refrigerator.





Unroll 1 tube of crescent rolls, and wrap the cheese balls up in small strips of dough. (I ended up having enough dough for only half the cheese balls)

Wrap these pockets in strips of bacon and secure with a toothpick.







Bake 350 degrees until bacon is crispy, the dough golden brown, and your creation delightfully phallic.






I found these entirely too peppery. If I made them again, I would half the pepper, and add cayanne, or something else to cut through all the rich cheese.

I can't entirely blame the recipe. I used low-fat cream cheese, and turkey bacon. Had I used the real-deal, the outcome may have been much tastier.
