Baked sausage rolls have quickly become a family favorite in our household. Whenever I find a new recipe that the whole family loves I always tweak it to make the steps easier and faster.
This recipe I adapted from another blogger who continuously puts out amazing recipes. Her recipe for Australian Sausage Rolls was my inspiration but I altered some ingredients and their amounts to make it easier for me to make over and over again.
You’ll notice I only use 1/2 lb of sweet Italian sausage. What do you do with the other half? I typically put in another dish I make that week – pasta, egg dish, etc. Don’t let it go to waste!
I hope you like them. We can’t get enough of these scrumptious baked sausage rolls.
Our daughter’s 2nd birthday party was farm themed and I knew I wanted to make some type of barnyard animal cake to top off the day. I considered making a cow and a horse but my bright husband suggested a pig because you only need one color frosting for piping. Done!
We had to switch the party from Sunday to Saturday so I had one less day of prep. I have learned over time that keeping things simple is the smart way to go. See instructions below for how to create an easy pig birthday cake (or pig cake for any farm-themed occassion).
It should be obvious by now that I have a major sweet tooth. As I was grocery shopping last week I spotted that Ben & Jerry’s has re-released one of my favorite flavors, One Love. Banana ice cream with caramel and graham cracker swirls in it, I mean come on. One pint of this delicious flavor combo was not enough!
Banoffee pie to the rescue. A pie that is not very popular in the U.S. but I happen to love it. This no-bake pie has a graham cracker crust, a layer of sliced bananas, caramel sauce, whipped cream, and toffee bits. Why don’t I make this dessert more often? Probably because I’m too busy making even more desserts.
I love oatmeal desserts. Ben & Jerry’s Oat of This Swirled ice cream flavor has been my favorite since it came out. I often make oatmeal cream pie sandwich cookies but you have to make a ton of cookies and then end up with half when you sandwich them together.
I decided to invent the oatmeal cream pie cookie cup and I am very happy with the results. This recipe is super easy to make and the cookies are very filling. I promise to type up the mini version soon!
