It came..and went! April that is...

The more you stop and evaluate your actions the more you can accomplish. This is true, and I wish people would do this. We all have the power to not only live happy, but to spread love and humanity to the world. I have come to realize that no matter how many hard things are going on in your life, there will always be someone who is in a harder situation. Each and every one of us carries a cross, and there are things that may be small or huge but we must learn to not only face them but learn from them.

I recently had surgery, and I have had a lot of time to reflect about everything and anything. Despite the fact that I had promised myself to do as many as one RAK (random act of kindness) daily, being limited due to mobility issues some improvisation had to take place. Regardless, I have been able to lend a hand- sometimes very successfully, sometimes not so much.

I wonder...why are people so guarded? The other day I went to a local coffee shop, and apparently someone had left without paying, I offered to pay and the cashier looked at me like I was crazy and would not let me. I told her, just to allow me to do it- and to pay it forward..but she just did not let me. We shall see what other anecdotes I collect on this journey. This will not stop me from trying to bring humanity into this world.

Until then, here is a fun way to use crescent rolls. You can do this with your kids, for a party, as a snack. Super easy and simple to do.
They can be salty or sweet...Get creative! There are gazillion things you can stuff them with.
Buy 2, because once you see how easy this is, you will want to make more combinations.

Italian inspired-
What you need:
Cherry tomatoes
Mozzarella
EVOO
Salt & Pepper
Additional: Italian spices, or just a little oregano

How to make: Chop cheese and tomatoes, sprinkle seasoning, and drizzle EVOO. place inside roll, roll gently so contents do not spill out. Bake according to container (this may vary depending on the brand you use)

For the sweet craving-
What you need:
Anything chocolate! Milk chocolate chips, nutella, marshmallows(mini), this one you can go crazy...you can even do peanut butter and jelly.Stuff it gently, and bake according to instructions.

 

Other alternatives:

As appetizers at a party: Cook cocktail sausages with your favorite recipe or just saute them in a little butter. Place 1 or 2, or chop them, add cheese (optional- mozzarella for melting factor) and bake.

Mini Brie bites:

 Cut small pieces of brie, spread apricot jam onto roll, place a piece of brie, and sprinkle sliced almonds and dried cranberries. Roll, and bake.

  

Enjoy...but most of all HAVE FUN!
