chicken_ring

Years ago, I had one of the most delicious appetizer I’ve ever tasted.  But to be fair, almost anything in a cresent roll tastes amazing! LOL!  There are different variations of this including broccoli and/or bacon.

The only thing I would change is adding shredded lettuce in the middle…or perhaps a flower (ala “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”).

shepards_pie

I tried to make Shepard’s pie for a potluck, and it was a big ole plate of gross!  I was especially mad because 1) I HAD to bring it to the party because I didn’t make a back-up dish (d’oh!) and 2) I bought the more expensive ground sirloin for the meat.  So needless to say, I pretty much threw in the proverbial towel in for Shepard’s pie.
