Sausage-Egg-Cheese Deal

I had this sausage-cheese-crescent roll thing last Friday as someone had brought it in to share. I decided it was so yummy that I was going to try and make it myself. One of the other ladies wondered how it would be to add egg in so I tried it! Here's what I came up with:

I started by preheating the oven at 375. I am using a Pampered Chef pan, but you probably would want to spray it if it was just a normal pan.

I opened up a can of crescent rolls and spread them out -- smoothly out the seams so that it would be one piece. You could make a long one as well, but I thought 2 would be good (one for me & one for my husband).

I cut the about 2 inches on each side with a knife (to wrap over the filling at the end) and laid some cheese down to help hold it all together.

I browned 1/2 pound of sausage and tried to make sure that the pieces were smaller so that they would fit well inside the crescent rolls.

I took out the sausage and immediately put my scrambled egg mixture in (3 eggs & some milk). I made this up till it was almost done -- still a little wet looking.

I added the sausage to the eggs.

I spooned out the egg/sausage mixture on top of the crescent roll & put more cheese on top.

I criss-crossed the edges to cover it all. I was thinking about adding a bit of butter on the top, but... I think it turned out just fine!

They cooked for 20 minutes and turned out just wonderfully! We didn't quite eat all of them so I have some for lunch another day.

Mother's Day Cards

To celebrate Mother's Day, I made up some cards that I'm trying to sell:

I have this display set up in the employee kitchen.

Here are the cards close up:

This one won't turn the right way -- it should go sideways. It's 4"x6", $2. The wording says, "All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my mother." - Abraham Lincoln
This is 2"x3" so it's $1.

4"x6", $2

2"x3", $1

5"x7", $3

This is in a protective plastic cover. 4"x6", $2 SOLD

You may have a special order and I'd be glad to help. Just let me know!

Cards for my family

Obviously, this is a Mother's Day card! I used a design that I had made for my friend at work and adapted it for this card. I painted the chipboard a pink color to match the paper. Then I used two ribbons -- yellow & pink organdy. I wrote in calligraphy Happy Mother's Day and printed a portion of Proverbs 31:28, "Her children stand and bless her."
This card was also for my mom. She just got her Alabama Teaching Certification! Her name starts with a g (Georgia) so I used chipboard that I painted black. I made a design with colors that are already in the paper (gray, pink, burgundy, white, and green). I also used pink organdy ribbon across the middle. Inside said congratulations on your certification.


My brother and his wife just had their second child on April 24. This card has 4 different papers, white alphabet stickers, and a star sticker. I wrote inside Psalm 127:3 - Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from Him.

More cards & more smiles :)!!! I'll post the Mother's Day cards soon.
