Fast, Fun, Easy Date Night (even it's just with the girls)

Whether it is with your girls, your man, a busy night away from the kids making a special date to do something, ANYTHING is totally worth it. 


My venture after a long week, girls night with movies and food=HEAVEN. I though I would share our recipes and yummy "do again's" for the night that are fast easy and affordable (college and family friendly!)


Pigs in Blanket: ( I make these WAY too often :)
1 Pkg Little Smokies ( LOVE the cheddar)
1 Pkg Crescent Roll


Unpack the Crescent rolls, cut into sections, roll up little smokies in crescent dough bake at 350 degrees for about 12 minutes or until brown 


Taco Ring: 
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbs water
2 to 4 tbs taco seasoning
1/2 pound ground beef
2 tubes refrigerated crescent rolls
1/2 head iceberg lettuce
1 medium tomato chopped
4 green onions, sliced
1/2 cup sliced ripe olives
sour cream
2 small jalapeno peppers seeded and sliced
Salsa 


Place the crescent rolls wide triangle inside, next to each other to create a circle, place taco meat,cheddar cheese,green onion,olives and jalapenos inside each crescent roll and fold excess crescent dough over so it creates a wreath like, taco filled goodness. bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes. 


Then throw lettuce, tomato, sour cream and salsa on top and enjoy! 


French Bread Pizza: 
Cut a loaf of french bread in half, spread pizza sauce, cheese and assorted toppings of your choice and bake at 350 degrees until Golden brown. It's a nice change from just the normal pizza crust. 


FIND OF THE NIGHT :) 


Dolci Frutta Fondue dipping chocolate! 








We found it a midst the produce isle next to the strawberries for only $3.49 you just put it in the microwave, add a bit of olive oil or just plain cooking oil to thin it out a bit and you're ready for dipping! We had strawberries and bananas tonight but other ideas to dip are: 


Cheesecake Bites
Pound Cake
Marshmallows
Any type of fruit


Its an awesome find for cheap and its really yummy, and you don't have to mess with melting bakers chocolate over boiling water, or getting crazy fancy with a full out fondue night so it's perfect for on the go, fast romantic-ness, regardless of who it's with. 4 girls shared it and it was a perfect size, and believe me, I dipped liberally! 


needless to say I am so full, snuggled on the couch, the only thing that would make it better is a glass of cupcake Cabernet wine :)


In a good way,
