Party Food

  We recently had a picnic birthday party for my sister. It was cold and dark outside so we spread a cheery pink tablecloth on the living room floor and surrounded it with all our potted plants. We made all kinds of treats for dinner - no forks allowed! Some recipes were tried and true, some were new ideas I found in a cookbook I was borrowing from a friend. These little roll-ups I'm sharing will become your new favorite!

Pepperoni Pinwheels
1/2 cup diced pepperoni
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 egg, separated
1 tube (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, combine the pepperoni, cheese, oregano, and egg yolk. In another small bowl, whisk egg white until foamy; set aside. Separate crescent roll dough into four rectangles; seal perforations. Spread pepperoni mixture over each rectangle. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a short side; pinch seams to seal. Cut each into six slices. Place on greased baking sheet; brush tops with egg white. Bake for 12 minutes. Serve warm.
Yield: 2 dozen rolls
(Warning: These are very small, so be sure you have plenty!)



And the birthday cake:


I have really become fond of using M&Ms in cake decorating! In keeping with the picnic theme I created a lady bug. :o)
