Crescent Pinwheels

So my husband had one of his friends and kids over last Saturday. So I wanted to make something quick and easy. I decided to make pinwheels using crescent rolls! I'm combining all three recipes here :)

Pepperoni Pinwheel
1 package pepperoni
1 can crescent roll sheet (this made it so much easier!!)
1 package shredded cheese (I used a pizza blend)

Ham and Cheese Pinwheel
1/2 lbs deli honey ham
1 can crescent roll sheet
1 package shredded cheese (I used a 3 cheese blend)

Lemon Herb Crab Pinwheel
1 lbs imitation crab (I used this because it's cheaper, please feel free to use the real thing!)
1 can crescent roll sheet
1/2 a container of  Lemon and Herb Philadelphia cooking cream cheese

Directions for all three:
Unroll crescent roll sheet, add cheese then meat. Carefully roll up the sheet long way. Bake @375 for 15-18 minutes.

I found it was MUCH easier to cook the roll first, let it cool and then cut instead of roll, cut then cook. Also the crab pinwheel might need a few extra minutes to cook depending on your oven.

This fed six people happily, with some left over! (picture was taken using my cell phone, so pardon the crappy look, lol)

Ham and Potato Soup

This was lots of fun to make and turned out really well. It was even BETTER next day!

1 1/2 lbs ham
6 medium potatoes
2 cans of chicken broth
2 cans of cream of celery soup
1 can of corn (leave in the juice)
1 can cream of corn
1 pkg shredded colby jack cheese
3 tbs butter
3 tbs flour
milk

Cut ham and potatoes into bite size chunks, add to crock pot. In a separate mixing bowl add chicken broth, soup and both cans of corn. Mix well then add to the crockpot. In a small saucepan melt butter, add flour to create a roux, add milk to desired thickness then add to crock pot. Cook on low for 8 hours, half hour before it's done add the bag of shredded colby jack. ENJOY!

This feed my husband, daughter and myself 3 times so it's great for leftovers or to feed LOTS of people :)
