Foodie, Ranching & Fun blog

This is something I have wanted to do for quite some time.  Find an outlet for food reviews, share recipes and talk about life on "the ranch".
I am originally from Wisconsin where my heart still lies - I love that state very much.  I currently live on a very beautiful place in TN, and I would love to be able to own it one day.  The place I live in Middle TN isn't a working ranch, but I believe it once was a working farm.  I don't know much about its history, but I do love it there!  I live there with my boyfriend Dave, for the past two years we have had a garden and currently we are trying to get this years garden planted.  We also have chickens!  Which I am absolutely crazy about - love their little personalities and their quirks!

Last night I made one of my favorite rolls - it is a Honey-Cheese roll.  A super easy recipe I acquired from Publix.

It starts with four simple ingredients - honey (I preferred local honey, store bought just isn't the same)  Sure the bear is cute, but for better quality honey and better eating find a local honey supply.  Butter, pizza dough (I used crescent rolls this time and it worked out great!) and mozzarella cheese.

Honey-Cheese Rolls
Ingredients:
4 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
6 teaspoons unsalted butter, divided
1 (11 oz) can thin crust pizza dough
6 teaspoons honey - divided (I just use a spoon and drizzle it over everything-less messy)

Prep:
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
Cut cheese into 6 slices, unroll dough cut into 6 even squared

Directions:
1 - Place 1 cheese slice in center of each dough square with 1 teaspoon each butter and honey.  Fold corners of dough to center of each square and seal completely closed.
2 - Bake 14-15 minutes or until golden and thoroughly cooked.  Serve warm.
(makes 6 servings)

I like to cut extra slices of cheese for the pasta - so I usually get a little larger mozzarella for the meals I make.  It is great with many dishes, last night we had it with pasta, herb & honey chicken with mozzarella.
Yum!
