Carol, Would you mind giving me the exact recipe? Amounts of ingredients as well as time for baking...I had this recipe at one time. It was a favorite years ago. I have hunted for my recipe but to no avail. Thanks LaVerne

THEN TOP WITH A HOT DOG OR SAUSAGE . THEN ROLL UP AND PLACE ON BAKING SHEET . CONTINUE WITH REMAINING PILLSBURY CRESCENT ROLLS, CHEESE AND HOTDOG AND SAUSAGES .BAKE AND ENJOY !

My husband & I are the parents of 17 children, 14 of which are grown, and the grandmother of 7 handsome grandsons and one beautiful granddaughter. Our granddaughter will celebrate her 3rd birthday in March 2009 & is a grandpa's girl, except when Grandma is baking - then she turns into a Grandma's girl (so she can be the first taster).

My entire family loves the homemade Calzones that I make with Pillsbury Crescent Rolls. My families two most favorites are my Philly Cheesesteak Calzones and my Five Meat Calzones that I stuff with Pepperoni, Ground Beef, Diced Ham, Canadian Bacon & Italian Sausage and 5 shredded Italian cheeses. They are both scrumptious. I also make dessert Calzones with Pillsbury Crescent Rolls by stuffing them with our favorite pie filling.

Another dessert my family enjoys is what I call Grandma's Heavenly Treat. I grease the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan with non-stick cooking spray then line the bottom & sides of the pan with Pillsbury Cresent Roll dough. I bake it at about 325 degrees F. until the rolls become golden brown. I remove the pan from the oven & let cool completely. When cool, I scoop on some whipped cream (or thawed non-dairy topping) into which I have stirred in a generous amount of fruits or berries or both. I then refrigerate this for about 4 to 8 hours. (I seldom can ever refrigerate this for 8 hours because my family starts digging in after 4 hours whether I like it or not. Smile!)

The calzones sound great!  Can you give me a little bit more detail on how you make them?

I know we all used to think of Pampered Chef as entirely too expensive, but my husband is in the AirForce and while he was deployed I decided to host a Pampered Chef Party to relieve the boredom.  Lots of Laughs jokes on me I am now a die hard PC fan not only of there products but the recipes are amazing!  When my teenage boys go back for seconds on a fruit dish instead of pizza I am in heaven!  So here is a pampered chef recipe that includes Pillsbury Cresents in a different way.  It takes about 30 minutes to make from start to finish and is amazing (Pssssst recipe feeds 8 to 12)!  Let me know how you all feel about this one!

Summer Berry Shortcakes

2 tbsp butter divided

2 pkg (8oz each)refrigerated crescent dough, divided

2 tbsp sugar, divided

1/2 cut sliced almonds

1 qt. fresh strawberries, hulled

BLUEBERRY SAUCE

3 tbsp sugar

2 tsp cornstarch

3/4 cup water

1 lemon

1 cup fresh blueberries

Additional sliced lemons for garnish (optional)

Vanilla ice cream (optional)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place butter inot prep bowl; microwave on high 20 seconds or until melted.  Unroll 1 package of the crescent dough onto cutting board; pinch perforations to seal.  Brush dough with 1 tbsp of the melted butter; sprinkle with 1 tbst of sugar, roll dough into a log, starting at short end; set aside (if you pop it in the fridge it will be easier to slice)Repeat with remaining package of dough DO NOT ROLL UP DOUGH  place log crosswise oneo second layer of dough.  Roll dough up around log to form a thicker cylinder; seal seams.

Cut cylinder crosswise into 12 equal disks using a thin sharp knife.  Coarsely chop almonds (or any preferred nut, we use pecans or mixed nuts)Dip top of each disk into nuts and place nut side up onto large baking pan.  Bake 14-16 minutes or until golden brown.  Immediately make 2-inch-wide-wells in the center of each disk, and remove to a cooling rack.

For sauce combine sugar, cornstarch and water in 8 inch saute pan; stir until dissolved.  Zest lemon to measure 1 tes zest.  Juice lemon to measure 2 tbsp juice.  Add zest, juice and blueberries to sugar misture.  Bring to a boil over medium heat; simmer 4 minutes or until sauce develops a deep purple color, stirring occasionally.

To assemble shortcakes, cut strawberries into quarters and divide evenly among wells of shortcakes.  Spoon about 2 tbsp of blueberry sauce over each shortcake and garnish with lemon slices, if desired.  Serve with icream, if desired.

At our home when I start the recipe I will set out a bucket of breyers slow churned low fat vanilla, don't worry no one will ever guess it is low fat, when you put this amazing dish together your taste buds will be fighting over the sweet and sour, hot and cold, crunchy and mushy.  You get it all in one bite.  Just try it once and let me know how you feel, everyone in my family swore they hated fruit till they tried this on now I make it at least twice a week.

Love to all,

the orange rolls -  does anyone know when the 2009 bakeoff will be and when they will post info to enter the competition?

thanks

I have a group day care and the other day I made them spaghetti.  I took the crescents rolls before baking and spread them with butter and garlic salt, then rolled as usual and baked as directed.  There were a big hit.  They wanted more than one.

This is a family favorite.  I usually make it from memory (because my daughter took the cookbook with this recipe) so I am happy to have it back.  Thanks.

My name is Darline. Here is a recipe I use. I hope it helps.
