My mom is obsessed with birthdays. I suppose I could revise that to say she’s obsessed with thinking about other people and trying to make them happy, or whatever. It’s not a bad trait.
She never misses anyone’s birthday, even her dozen nieces and nephews and all their children. Today she texted my cousin a happy birthday for his 5-year-old daughter Tori. “Is this 1 month late or 11 months early?” And that’s when my mom realized that they have been letting her say happy birthday a month late for Tori’s entire life, because apparently she messed up her calendar appointment 5 years ago. When she responded indignantly, he replied, “It’s okay, it supports our nickname for you, ‘Crazy Old Aunt Janice.’”
I seriously hope I grow up to be like my mom someday. Or at least like my cousin.
Well it’s officially football season! Time for cheesy-carby appetizers. One of my favorite things to make is crescent rolls stuffed with…pretty much anything. Everyone loves crescent rolls, the cheesier the better. I was craving a Reuben sandwich, so I came up with these little guys. I’m in love. Swiss, sauerkraut, corned beef. Match made in heaven. I like to dip them in Thousand Island dressing for a nice kick. Corned beef is kind of expensive lately, so pastrami would be a good substitute. Happy football Eating-Food-On-The-Couch Season! I mean let’s be real. Do you guys give up? Or are you thirsty for more?Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram | Twitter Use good quality crescent rolls. I like Pillsbury.
Cheese, sauerkraut, corned beef, more cheese. Make sure you seal the edges well, otherwise all your cheese will ooze out. Don’t forget the butter on top! More appetizers you might like: Bacon and Pepper-Jack Stuffed Crescent Rolls:
