Crescent Breakfast Ring

I'm back! For now, at least. It's been 4 months since I've posted a recipe. I've been busy doing things like graduating college, moving to a different town, getting married, and honeymooning. But now I have more free time, so maybe that means more recipe posts.

Here's a super delicious breakfast ring that I found on Bacon Time with the Hungry  Hungry Hypo via Pinterest. Ladies, you've gotta love Pinterest. I've made three of these, all different ways. It's really easy to put together, has minimum ingredients, and always comes out well. Feel free to change up the filling to suit your taste. I recently made two of these for my husband's work: one just like this, and another that was crumbled breakfast sausage, scrambled eggs, and cheese.

Makes 8 stuffed crescent rolls.

Total prep and cook time: 30 minutes or less

Spicy Pasta Salad with Smoked Gouda, Tomatoes, and Fresh Basil

This pasta salad is great. Found it on PW's website.  I will definitely be making it again and again. It can be served as either a main dish or as a side with some type of meat. This pasta salad was very easy to throw together. It's a nice 30 minute meal!

Quotes from the taste testers:

"This is the best pasta salad I've ever had!"

"Freaking delicious."

Make it.

Makes 8 servings.

Taco Tomatoes

Here's an easy recipe that came from my fiancé's head. The concept is taco ingredients stuffed inside a hollowed out tomato, covered in cheese, and baked to perfection. They turned out really well. Thanks to my co-worker Morgan for providing all of the fresh tomatoes. I also used some of the tomatoes in the Mexican Rice that I served on the side. 

Here's what you'll need:

• 6 large tomatoes
• kosher salt
• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 pkg taco seasoning
• 1/4 onion, diced (I used white)
• 1 T cilantro
• 8 oz velveeta cheese, cubed
• salt and pepper, to taste
• shredded cheddar cheese for topping (optional)
• large mixing bowl
• baking pan

Sometimes I get on healthy kicks and now is one of those times. I've been searching the internet the past few days for healthy, low calorie meals. Here's one!

And it alllll takes less than 30 minutes to throw together.
