Take-out Tuesday, What’s for dinner?

The age old question we face daily is

“What’s for dinner?”

Sure there’s always take out or delivery,

or the same old tired standbys

But how about something a little more exciting!

If you want to make something a little different

and don’t want to go to the store,

take inventory and create a new masterpiece!

I took a quick look in the pantry, fridge and freezer

I try to keep crescent roll dough, biscuits and puff pastry in stock

because it’s so handy for breakfast,

last minute appetizers, pizzas and casseroles

Here’s what else I had…

choosing one or two ingredients from each category

These can all be served as a main dish

or paired with soup or salad for a meal

Meaty Marinara Bubble Up

Chicken Bacon Asparagus Stuffed Crescent Bake

Last Minute Party Braid

Asparagus in a Cloud {Add ham, bacon or chicken if desired for a heartier version}

Corn & Sausage Bubble Up

Flatbread Lorraine

It’s amazing to discover that you actually have plenty of food

if you just take a minute to look and think…

Now here’s the thing,

yes, I had all of these foods,

but much of the quantities were limited,

a little leftover this and a few of that,

but combined with several other ingredients,

there were actually endless possibilities!
