Cooking Group

With the holidays fast approaching we decided that we should put the cooking group on hold until the new year.

I'd still like to post any good holiday recipes you have. If you'd like to email me a good holiday (Halloween, Thanksgiving, or Christmas) recipe please send it to: amy.seiter@gmail.com

I'll start with a cute Halloween recipe!

Crescent Mummy Dogs

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
2 1/2 slices American cheese, quartered
10 large hot dogs
Cooking spray
Mustard or ketchup, if desired

Unroll dough; separate at perforations, creating 4 rectangles. Press perforations to seal. With knife or kitchen scissors, cut each rectangle lengthwise into 10 pieces, making a total of 40 pieces of dough. Slice cheese slices into quarters (1/2 slice cheese, cut in half). Wrap 4 pieces of dough around each hot dog and 1/4 slice of cheese to look like "bandages," stretching dough slightly to completely cover hot dog. About 1/2 inch from one end of each hot dog, separate "bandages" so hot dog shows through for "face." On ungreased large cookie sheet, place wrapped hot dogs (cheese side down); spray dough lightly with cooking spray. Bake at 375 degrees for 13 to 17 minutes or until dough is light golden brown and hot dogs are hot. With mustard, draw features on "face." Variation: Try a mini version with cocktail sausages.


This last one is Scott's family's favorite traditional Christmas Day dinner drink.
