Food Overload

OK, so I decided to keep it simple for all these events I had this weekend. For the funeral I threw some pre-made meatballs in a crockpot with BBQ sauce. For the dinner for the family I bought a loaf of Italian bread and made a cake from a box with frosting from a can. I feel kinda bad about that but I know they appreciated the gesture either way. 

I was supposed to go to a potluck after the funeral but when I got home I was too tired and my parents had Lincoln so I napped for two hours! By the time I woke up it was too late to cook so I brought three already-opened bags of chips from my pantry and some leftover pineapple upside down cakes from the funeral. The "regular" me would've been mortified but I am trying to get a grip. 

For tonight's potluck I made a red velvet poke cake. I am also making loaded potato skin "coins." And lastly, I took some pizza dough and filled it with a dollop of ranch dressing, sliced turkey, bacon and cheese and rolled it up. I will then cut it into inividual servings. My DH mentioned he would've preferred pizza roll-ups but I figure a turkey club is good, too. I just really love rolling stuff up into pizza or crescent dough. For Lincoln's birthday last year I made several types of roll-ups and they were all almost gone by the end of the party and I must've made close to 200. Mmmn, crescent dough!

    I'm intrigued by these roll-ups, and I'm going to ask a ridiculous question because I'm tired and can't think straight. So...you lay out the dough, put everything on it, roll it up, and then bake? Is that right? It sounds deliciously fool-proof, and I might have to try it.

    when i use crescent roll dough i do it exactly like that. for these, i used pizza dough and i cut itin half and made two out of them because i wanted them a bit thinner.  i always add a few minutes on the cooking time, too.

    Mmmmmm

    You've inspired me to make some kind of roll up this week with pizza/crescent dough.  Those kind of recipes fell off my radar for a while, and they're so quick and easy!
