Lasagna Stuffed Bread

I got this recipe from Cassie Craves, I think I have raved about her recipe blog before! Some of my favorite recipes have come from her blog. This was delicious and I need to make it again soon if my little one will stop being so picky! In fact, I might make it next week anyway!

1 pack crescent rolls
1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
3 tsps Italian seasoning, divided
Salt and pepper to taste
1 6 oz can tomato paste
1 8 oz pack cream cheese (softened)
2 tsp parsley flakes
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp butter (melted)
1 tsp garlic powder

Heat oven to 375. Unroll the crescent rolls and divide into two squares. Cook the ground beef and onion in a skillet, add 2 tsp of Italian Seasoning , garlic, salt and pepper. Stir together and cook for 30 seconds. Reduce heat and add the tomato paste, let cook for 5 minutes. While that's cooking combine the cream cheese, parsley, parmesan, and a bit of black pepper in a small bowl. Put the meat layer onto a square of the crescent rolls then put the cream cheese layer down then top with mozzarella. Add the remaining square of crescent rolls and pinch the ends together. In a small bowl mix together the melted butter, garlic powder and remaining Italian seasoning. Brush over the top of the crescent roll crust. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes and let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.

Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Yum!!! I love sweet potatoes and so does Gray. These were a fun and different way to make them for a crowd! Everyone loved them, but what's not to love? This recipe is from Vintage Victuals.

4 sweet potatoes
2 tbsp butter
1/4 tspn salt
3 tbsp milk
1 egg
2 tbsps brown sugar

Boil the sweet potatoes in water until they are fork tender. Remove from water and remove the pulp from the potato, cut the potato pulp with a knife to prevent it from being stringy. Place the pulp into a bowl and add butter, mash well using a potato masher. Let the mixture cool off for a few minutes. Add the remaining ingredients. Mix together well. Pour into a greased baking dish. Heat oven to 375 and bake for 20 to 25 minutes.

Okay, these are one of my new favorites! They are adapted from Skinny Taste, I love that I can eat them and not feel guilty! Plus I adore Tzatiki Sauce so these were perfect.

Heat to 425. Wash the Asparagus and cut the bottom off of it. Dry off the asparagus. Place the asparagus in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 10 minutes.
