This past Friday night we hosted “Game Night” at our place. After receiving a couple of cool, new board games for Christmas we decided why not have a “Game Night” to break the seal on the new boxes! I love hosting get-togethers and making snacks and appetizers to go along with the occasion, so I decided to use this event as a “trial run” for some new snack foods I had been wanting to try, which, if they were a hit, could be used for the upcoming super bowl festivities!
Number 1: Homemade Pizza Rolls
What you need:
- Package of 8 Grands! Homestyle Original Biscuits
- Package of Pepperoni’s
- Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- Olive Oil
- Shredded Parmesan Cheese
- Garlic powder
Then:
- Use your hand to flatten each biscuit, making it thinner.
- Using a pizza cutter cut each biscuit into thirds.
- Get a pinch of cheese and two pepperoni’s and put it in the middle of each piece of biscuit.
- Bring the sides together and push dough so that it sticks.
- Do this with all eight biscuits.
- Place on a greased cookie sheet (with pinched side down) and bake on 450 degrees for about 7 minutes.
- In a small bowl mix olive oil, parmesan cheese and garlic powder.
Slightly brush a small amount on each pizza roll and put back into oven for 2-3 minutes.

Number 2: Jalapeno Poppers
A recipe that I took from Pinterest, but of course revised a little!
What you need:
- Pillsbury Original Dinner Crescent Rolls (8 pack)
- Jar of Sliced Jalapeno Peppers
- 1/3 Less Fat Cream Cheese
Then:
- Use a pizza roller to cut each crescent roll in half, giving you 16 crescent rolls.
- Place a small drop of cream cheese and a jalapeno in each crescent.
- Roll it up and bake in the oven at 375 degrees for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
It’s that easy!
