Edna’s Armadillo Eggs

Mix together:
½ lb. Owens Hot Sausage
½ lb. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1½ cups Bisquick
And enough water to be able to pat these into little pancakes.

Seed a whole pickled jalapeno pepper and place a small piece of monterey jack cheese inside the pepper. Place stuffed jalapeno on top of a little pancake and close pancake to seal, forming into the shape of an egg.

Creamy Shrimp & Dill Puffs

1/3 cup whipped cream cheese
1/2 tsp Dill Weed, divided
1/4 tsp Ground Ginger
1 Tbsp. chopped green onions
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent rolls
3/4 cup chopped precooked shrimp

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix cream cheese, 1/4 teaspoon dill, and ginger in a small bowl. Stir in green onions. Set aside.

2. Unroll crescent dough; separate into 8 triangles. Cut each triangle in half to make 16 triangles. Stretch dough slightly and place crescent triangles into standard-size muffin pans so that the bottom of the muffin cup is covered and crescent corners are lying outside the cup.

3. Divide shrimp evenly into cups (about 1 heaping teaspoon per cup). Top each cup with 1/2 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture. Loosely fold dough corners into center; pinch corners together and twist to seal tightly. Lightly sprinkle tops with remaining 1/4 teaspoon dill. Bake, uncovered, 15-17 minutes or until crisp and golden-brown.

Make-Ahead Tip: We recommend baking the day of serving, but if you prefer to make ahead, cover well and freeze unbaked puffs up to 1 week. Bake as directed above (do not thaw before baking).

Answer 2

For rice krispie treats just melt some peanut butter with some marshmallows and fold then into about half a bag or full bag of rice krispie treats and you can add just a touch of chocolate chips because it can take over the whole flavor of the treats. Then you could have little octodogs which are split around one of the ends and then have a cocktail sauce and then you can make then you can make a pizza. First get a pizza dough and shape it like a a bowl then bake it for about 5 minutes at 350 degrees and then take it out and add some tomato sauce and then some cheddar cheese which some of should be saved a little towards during the end and then put some bell peppers, onions, pepperoni, sausage, and mushrooms and whatever else you like into it and bake until it is a nice golden color then add the rest of the cheese and then let it cool and slice it so it is a jack o lantern pizza. Oh and you can make the krispie treats and pizza orange by putting some food dye into the mix when making them and kneading and rolling it into the mixes.

Answer 3

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aNHPl

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
