Feature Recipes of the Month
Resurrection Rolls
"A great Easter recipe to do with the kids! Rolls with marshmallows
wrapped inside, which become hollow as they bake, it represents the tomb of
Jesus on Easter morning, when you break them open they are empty inside!"
Original recipe yield: 8 rolls.
INGREDIENTS:
1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
8 large marshmallows
1/4 cup melted butter
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons white sugar
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking
sheet.
2. Separate crescent rolls into individual triangles.
3. In a small bowl, mix together cinnamon and sugar.
4. Dip a marshmallow into melted butter, then roll in sugar mixture. Place
marshmallow into the center of a dough triangle. Carefully wrap the dough
around the marshmallow. Pinch the seams together tightly to seal in marshmallow
as it melts. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat.
5. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
NOTE: Substitute ham & cheese (or anything else really) for the marshmellows
and these make great pop-overs!
INGREDIENTS:
1 (3 to 5 pound) rump roast
2 cups water
1 package au jus gravy mix
1 package Good Seasons Italian Dressing Mix
Italian seasoning (optional)
DIRECTIONS:
Mix together water, gravy mix and dressing mix. Pour over roast in crockpot.

to 12 hours. Serve on Italian buns.

- Prepare what you need before you start. It’s how the pros do it and
it simplifies the process when you are scrambling to put it all together.
-- When using a broiler to cook steaks, pre-heat oven until it's really hot.
This will sear the outside of the meat and keep the juices in. And don’t
use a fork to turn the steaks, use thongs or a spatula to prevent juices from
leaking out.
-- Buy yourself a potato ricer for mashed potatoes. It a great gadget to
have in your kitchen, it looks like a giant garlic press, costs about six
bucks, but there’s nothing better for smooth airy mashed potatoes.
