Bacon, Egg & Cheese Crescent Rolls

The holidays are quickly approaching, which means get-togethers and baking galore. And while our social media feeds will be filled mostly with sweet treats and holiday meals, I’ll continue dreaming up savory breakfasts {my favorite!}.

Pillsbury crescent rolls are a convenient {and delicious} way to wrap up your favorite breakfast ingredients. What you’d ordinarily stuff in a breakfast taco or kolache will work wonderfully wrapped in this buttery dough.

When I asked the Instagram world “what are your favorite ingredients to stuff inside a Pillsbury crescent roll?”, I was amazed at many creative responses I received! Jalapeño cream cheese, pepperoni pizza, spinach artichoke dip, cinnamon apples, Nutella, sausage. Every single suggestion sounded oh so delicious!

But the combination that won me over this go around was egg, bacon, green onions, and sharp cheddar. Let me just tell you, this is a glorious way to start a morning! Green onion gives the crescent roll a nice complexity and thick slab bacon adds a crave-able savory smoke. When prepared and heated up the next day, these breakfast crescent rolls are still top notch.

Sweet Potatoes With Garlic & Basil Compound Butter

Sweet Potato with Garlic Basil Butter

Sweet potatoes are one of those foods that don’t take a ton of effort to go from good to great.  Take the time to oil and salt the skin.  Take the time to pop them in the oven.  And while that’s all happening, why not spend a few minutes of that time mixing up compound butter with fresh garlic and basil?

Basil Garlic Compound Butter

I picked up a basil plant at the grocery a few weeks ago and, although it’s almost naked, managed to find four decently sized leaves to chop.  I crushed a couple cloves of garlic and found that I’d taken care of all the hard tasks.  Making compound butter is a chore that barely takes minutes and is so worth the reward.

Garlic and basil compound butter went wonderfully with sweet potatoes but would also make white potatoes, steaks, and seafood extra delicious!

Simple Sautéed Shrimp

Simple Spicy Shrimp

Anyone who has ever been at my house in a hunger bind knows that I always have a package of frozen shrimp in the freezer. They only take minutes to thaw and even less minutes to cook. And I love them at any time of day.

Sautéing in a tiny bit of butter and over-sprinkling with spices has been my favorite preparation lately. Whether you’re eating them solo as a snack, along side a veggie or another protein for dinner, or on top of eggs or grits for breakfast – you really can’t go wrong.

Sautéed Asparagus With Broiled Cherry Tomatoes

Sautéed Asparagus with Broiled Cherry Tomatoes

A starter of butter, garlic, and onion almost always leads to delicious things.  And because it takes such minimal time and effort, it’s my foundation for every sautéed veggie, rice, and quinoa dish.

Broiled Cherry Tomatoes

Asparagus, zucchini, squash, green beans.  These veggies, mixed with butter, garlic, and onion, are the constant go-to.  But tonight my camera and I were craving a pop of color and that’s how the idea of adding broiled tomatoes {another old favorite} came about.
