Happy Birthday Lincoln! You didn’t have to close the office today or on Monday but I am ever so grateful! I will honor you by taking advantage of Presidents Day sales and going to the movies to catch a girly flick with mom. And I will NOT buy the $8 soft pretzel and cheese combo again. I know i said that last time but i mean it today. I mean it.
A while back I received some loot from Pilsbury and the awesome peeps at My blog Spark! I recently cashed in and got my two free Pilsbury crescent thingys and cooked up something for an upcoming par-tay. (oh, what party? The Valentines day bash for all my single peeps… who are unknowingly going to be bringing home about 100 free condoms each. lol) Its an easy recipe and one that will surely please. Pizza Pinwheels!
What you’ll need? for one batch of these babies you will need some of your fave marinara sauce (pesto would be awesome too), some mozz cheese, and a roll of crescent dough.
Roll out your crescent dough and pinch the perforated seams shut… In this series of photos I didn’t adhere to my own instructions and it got really messy so pinch the damn seams and be happy about it!
Sauce it up! Don’t over do it. Leave some space around the edges.
Add some cheese. Normally there would be some veggies in here or my fave pizza toppings but in case you hadn’t noticed..its gross as shit outside and I’m not going out for a pepper and some mushrooms. I will next time.
Okay. CAREFULY roll the dough into a log or a burrito or whatever you feel like… as long as you can achieve the next step. If you notice carefully you will see the some marinara sauce peeking out…. thats the seam i forgot to seal.
I scored the rolls into inch slices. and placed them on a well greased cookie sheet.
Yes, they are very ugly. I never score high marks for anything dough related… but flavor-wise? thru the roof! Bake these babies according to your crescent dough directions (425* for 13 mins)
Or see above for desired results.
I estimate that each pizza pinwheel is approx 120-150 calories, depending on how small they are and how much cheese is in it. i served my self one two three with a side salad. I froze the other 2 dozen for the party and when they are ready to be consumed pop them it the oven to reheat.
and have some of this TLC goodness for dessert! Mmmmmm! Almonds!
And I have one more thing….
WILL YOU BE MY VALENTINE?
those look so yummy! And I will be your valentine.
haha now that is MY kind of party! Wish I could come.
Those look SO GOOD. I've never seen them before!
Yum. I love pizza, doesn't matter what size, shape or form.
I would totally be your valentine, but my sweetie might get jealous. Or be turned on. Not entirely sure which.
Yes I'll be your valentine!! Those look so good! MMM TLC bar!
Personally, I think they look hella tasty! So trying this idea. Thanks, Mo! Enjoy your girly flick with Mom!
a pizza pinwheel party!? YES PLEASE! love those pinwheels! and its so funny how i used to associate things like pizza and calzones and what not with bad food but never thought about redesigning and healthyfiying it until the foodie world came about
look at you go girl!
But of course!Pizza + pastry = happeeeeee.
Oh fun! I hope your party and entire weekend is super fabulous!
"pillsbury crescent thingys".. I'm assuming that's not the offical term. The pinwheels look so biennnn, Mo!
I always get these when I go to the pizzaria but now I might start making my own =)ohhh and they are NOT ugly lol
This looks like it's so easy to make. Definitely a must try.
um, I want a pizza pinwheel right now!!!!
They look delicious! I could make them for the boys… yum…
Those look yummy!!!
How you could describe anything covered in this much cheese as "ugly" is beyond me. Heavenly is more like it. I'm pretty sure that having 100 free condoms around would absolutely depress me. Especially a year from now when, if my track record keeps it self up, they would still be sitting here
Happy V-Day chica!
I love pizza pinwheels! My roomie in college and I use to make them a little too often. What's funny is my last year of college her and I made them for our singles Valentine's Day bash too! Have fun with your singles party I am sure itll be so much fun! Happy Valentine's Day!
oh my gosh i love it! that seems like a brilliantly tasty idea
looks awesome girl! I would so love to be your valentine=)Loving the party loot too!;) haha! I hope you have one awesome valentines day girl! You make my day!!
Love these babies honestly…oh cheesy bites..Que Magnifigue este…bravo!!!!Oh yeah…LOVE IS IN THE AIR,SO IS ROMANCE…WISH YA LOADS OF IT @ 365….
