Crescent Pizza Rolls

For real, crescent rolls are probably one of the most versatile pre-packaged foods ever. If you're craving pizza but can't afford to get delivery (or DiGiorno), try these out. You probably have most of these ingredients laying around the house.

Start with a package of pre-packaged crescent rolls. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees (or whatever the package specifies, but it's typically 375).

Open the package and unroll them, separating them into the pre-sliced triangles and lying them flat on a baking sheet.

Grab a can of pureed tomatoes and pour about a half cup or so out. Put the rest in a sealed container and throw it in the fridge for later. (Tell your mom you saved her some trouble on her next batch of spaghetti sauce. Works like a charm.) Use a spoon to ladle about a tablespoon or so of the tomato onto each triangle at the wide end.

Get about a half cup of your favorite cheese (or whatever kind happens to be in the fridge). I chose Parmesan. Using a spoon or your fingers, sprinkle the cheese over top of the tomato until you can't see much red.

Dig through your spice cabinet and grab 2-3 that you like. You can use whatever you want - this is where it can get fun! :) I used basil, red pepper, and garlic.

You may want to include mouthwash as an after dinner course.

Put a few dashes of each spice on top of the cheese - don't go too crazy, a little goes a long way!

Once they are seasoned to your satisfaction, roll those suckers up (starting from the wide end). If you got the cheap knockoff brand like I did, they might be a little difficult to roll up, but persevere! As long as they're sort of in a rolled up shape when you're done, they'll bake just fine. ;) Since you probably spent quite a bit of time struggling to roll them, the oven should be preheated by the time you're done, so get that baking sheet in there and set a timer for 12-15 minutes.

 Resist the urge to stand in front of the oven and watch them cook . . . I promise, it legit makes time go slower. Instead, go to a nearby computer and check Facebook and listen for the timer to go off. Depending on your oven, they should be done by the 15 minute mark but possibly as soon as 12 minutes.

Voila! The perfect appetizer for 2-3 people to share.

Or, if you're me, just enough for a lonely dinner on a Thursday night home alone.

Don't judge me . . .
