Making Dessert With Pillsbury Crescent Rolls – #CreativeCrescents
Last week I bought some Pillsbury Crescent Rolls to make a recipe with on This Mom Can Cook. After making a appetizer dish with the rolls, I visioned making a dessert with these rolls too! I have a cupboard of goodies and put together something sweet!
Here is my recipe with Pillsbury Crescent Rolls.
Lay down the Pillsbury Crescent Roll dough on a plate!
Add the goodies. I added marshmallows, white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips and Hersheys mini kisses!
Roll the Pillsbury Crescent Rolls up and pinch seams to seal!
Once baked, remove from oven and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Easy Lasagna Recipe
For YEARS I have been buying the family size frozen lasagna from the store. My family likes lasagna, but for some reason I always thought it was complicated to make. It wasn’t until recently that I attempted to make my own. My neighbor who is also my friend spoiled our family last month with a big dish of her homemade lasagna. After that night I was determined to make homemade lasagna too!
Not only is lasagna easy to make, it also tastes way better than the frozen stuff I have been buying all this time. Below is my recipe for lasagna:
