Not only is this a beautiful dish it is totally packed with flavor you don’t want to miss.

I used to make this with ham and cheese, but making this with taco meat is an absolute stroke of genius.

I know that this recipe from Pillsbury said it is for 8 people, but there is no way my family would have been able to eat this and not walk away hungry so I used to make two of these.

Being able to have ingredients on hand for when life is busy is not only a healthier option it is so much better on the budget.

Buying the tubes of crescent rolls isn’t the cheapest, but I have usually been able to find these on sale from time to time and the shelf life is pretty decent so next time you think about it of see these, go ahead and buy a few tubes.Plus, it is cheaper than driving through a fast food line.

I had a tube of dough on hand one Sunday not long ago, my teen was working on homework, my husband was resting up for the busy week ahead. I tossed one of these in the oven. The fact that is was filled with hot meat and cheese made everyone smile. A snack isn’t always just a cookie or a banana, sometimes you need something a little more.

After it was finished off I got a heartfelt Thank you! And since I served it onto paper plates, right from the cookie sheet. the mess was super minimal. Hey, I need a break every once in a while as well!

This is what Pillsbury has to say about this super simple but smashing success.

This taco-filled crescent ring is the perfect meal for Taco Night! Dress it up with fresh shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes and taco sauce for a fun twist on tacos!

Remember the days when a snack was something your mom made from scratch? Time to get back to basics with this simple recipe.

Those were the days before high fructose corn syrup and partially hydrogenated oil was part of our vocabulary.

My mom would make individual sandwich baggies of trail mix and dried fruit and I remember the taste of her homemade fruit leather from our area’s farm fresh produce.

Today, convenience often trumps healthy alternatives. Being able to rip open a foil pouch is so much easier than making something from scratch. I think it boils down to what you want to feed your family.

Seriously, it is not practical to think that everyone is going to have time to sit down for a hot breakfast. One of these granola bars and a string cheese and you are fueled for your next adventure wherever that might take you.

Plus, for road trips or long hikes, this is something that is easy to take along. Actually, I think this might be a great snack to take on your next trip involving air travel! Not that I am ungrateful for the Tablespoon of Peanuts handed out, but having something a little more substantial would be nice for those trips where you are going to have a long flight followed by a lay-over.

Whatever the case may be..I hope you enjoy these as much as my family does!

I tried several different recipes before I found one that I knew my kids would love. Baking the first five ingredients before mixing made a huge difference in how the bars turned out.

Quick Tip: Feel Free to add in any of your favorite dried fruit combos such as dried pineapple, apple, mango, and dried cranberries.

Best Brownie on the PLANET! and that is putting it mildly!

My mom packed the best lunches when I was growing up. There were a lot of things she would put in our bags to make them interesting, but basically it boiled down to the basics. Such as a sandwich, chips, whatever fruit was in season, and a cookie or baked treat.

There were many times that I would open my lunch and see that she had made brownies. Yummo!

I try to have brownie mixes on hand for those last minute treat items, but after I made these and saw how simple it was I will never go back to boxed mixes again.

The best part is that you probably have these ingredients idn your pantry right now! So what are we waiting for? Let’s bake something memorable tight now!

This is what Karina of Cafe Delights has to say about this classic recipe.
