‘Crescent Rolls’ Articles at Sweetnicks

I think garlic might be my love language.

Well, let’s be clear. It’s not my only love language. Sunrises. Sunsets. Heart-shaped things appearing magically somewhere unexpected. Someone cooking for me. Little colored drawings from Madeline. Seeing Nick treat others with kindness.

Those are all bits and pieces of my love language as well.

But garlic? Man oh man, that’s definitely on the list.

On the kids’ list too, but only if they can’t see it.

Last week, when we grabbed some pizza after checking out an art exhibit, I watched as the kids carefully picked off bits of garlic on their pizza.

First they said they didn’t like garlic.

As if.

But then I explained how it’s been in, oh, the last 163 things I might have cooked.

So then Nick went on to clarify that recently, he had something at a relative’s house, and there was this HUGER THAN JUPITER piece of garlic on his dish and he just couldn’t.

So it’s only the big pieces that he doth protest.

Which means he’s all over these little bits of garlic deliciousness.

And inhaled three as soon as they came out of the oven.

Bread is that little thing you need on the table to round out everything and make it just about perfect. And well, including garlic is just about a home run.

If you ask me.

If garlic happens to be YOUR love language, it just might be your lucky day. Bake up a batch of these babies and you’ll be whistling dixie in no time.

You’re welcome.

Really.

Tomorrow? Christmas Lists and Santa visits!

I always love seeing the behind-the-scenes peeks at how photographs get set up. Here’s a look at how I got the first shot above:

So did you hear? Thanksgiving is next week?

I know. I know.

No panic over here because my sister is hosting it, so short of making a few simple items to bring with us (like our favorite Cranberry Conserve!), I’ve got it easy.

Which is the perfect way to kick off the frenetic pace of every day that follows from then until, well, the end of the year, right?

But if I was hosting Thanksgiving (are you? whatcha making?), then these little bites of deliciousness would surely have a very important place on the table.

Like within reach of my seat.

Creamy spinach is one of those awesome sides that is perfect along side most meals. But then I thought … why not add some sharp Cheddar to it, and put it in a little hand-held vehicle to boot?

All the better to get it to your mouth, right?

I knew we were on the same page.

These tasty stuffed crescents come together in nothing flat. Mix a few ingredients in a bowl, unroll the crescents, stuff, bake, and devour.

Light from the buttery, flaky dough. A subtly sharp bite from the bits of Cheddar. Creaminess from the spinach.

Aw yeah.

I happen to think it’s the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving table, and as a bonus, the spinach is disguised just enough to make it a little kid-friendly. While I am not a fan of completely disguising food (no sneakiness here, thankyouverymuch), if I can make it a little more palatable and delicious for the little mouths at the table, then, well, why not?

Hungry for more Pillsbury crescent roll recipes?
We first had these Bacon Cheese Crescents five years ago, and they’ve been a favorite ever since.
These Mediterranean Crescent Pinwheels pack a delicious flavor punch, and came courtesy of The Neighbor Husband some years back.
Crescent dough is perfect to make mini pigs-in-a-blanket.
And lastly, if you’re looking for a sweet dish, instead of savory, this breakfast danish from the early months of blogging was a hit at Nick’s school.
