FLUFFY PIZZA CASSOROLE


Good and easy to make, the whole ffamily will enjoy. 

Ingredients:

2 cans Pilsbury biscuits (you should have 16 biscuits total)
1 jar pizza sauce (15 oz)
2 cups mozzarella cheese
Your favorite Pizza topping (I used pepperoni, but you could use cooked sausage, onion, mushroom, peppers, etc)
Italian Seasoning

Directions:

Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish. Preheat oven to 375. In a large bowl, break biscuits into small pieces (about 4-5 pieces per biscuit). Add in pizza sauce, one cup mozzarella cheese, and pizza topping. Mix thoroughly so all pieces are evenly coated. Pour into greased baking dish. Top with remaining one cup cheese. Bake in oven for about 35 minutes, or until slightly brown and cheese is bubbly. *I stuck mine under the broiler for an additional 3-4 minutes.

FRENCH TOAST ROLL-UPS
This is a fun way to serve stuffed french toast.
You can fill these with just about anything!
I'm thinking these could also be a dessert!


Ingredients:
6 slices white or wheat bread
Nutella, Strawberry Cream Cheese or any preserves
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

To Prepare
Trim the crust from the bread. Flatten the slices slightly with a rolling pin.



In the center of each bread slice, add about 1 teaspooon of the filling of your choice.


Roll the bread like a cigar. In a bowl mix the egg and the milk; whisk until well combined. On a small plate mix the sugar and cinnamon.

Set a skillet over medium heat. Add unsalted butter. Soak the bread rolls in the milk mixture until fully coated. Add them to the hot pan and cook the rolls until they are golden brown on all sides. Roll in sugar/cinnamon mixture. Serve hot.

MAPLE SNOW TAFFY

MAPLE SNOW TAFFY (Makes about 8)

1. While it’s still snowing, place a clean baking sheet or cookie sheet outside to collect the fresh flakes. When the sheet is full, pack down the snow and allow it to fill up again. Pack down one more time.

2. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of real maple syrup over medium heat until it boils (or a candy thermometer reads between 235F and 245F).

3. Take the pan off the heat and drizzle the syrup over the packed snow in long strips. Let the syrup strips cool and become firm for 3 to 5 seconds. Pull the candy strips out of the snow, and eat while still a little warm.

Enjoy your snow day and share your snow recipes.
