Occasionally, I lose track of time and I need a quick recipe to throw together for a party or a dinner with my loved ones. I previously thought they were only good for a mediocre last minute substitute for homemade bread, but call Kathleen Raskin impressed. You can use crescent roll dough to make your own flavored rolls, dinners and desserts and I have found amazing ones that come out of Kathey Jo’s Kitchen that I cannot wait to share with you. Your friends and family will be asking when you will be trying the next idea and making more.
