White Cranberry Martini

A friend of mine gave me this martini recipe. I'm very picky with my martinis and this one is phenomenal!

Ingredients: (For 2 servings)
-White Cranberry Juice
-1/2 lime sliced into quarters
-Cranberry Vodka (Regular vodka works well too!)
-Cointreau (Triple Sec is fine too)

Directions:
-In a shaker with crushed ice, mix 3 shots of vodka and 1 shot of Cointreau.
-Squeeze half of a lime and drop into shaker.
-Add 1 cup of white cranberry juice. (If you want your drink to be a little less strong, add an extra 1/2 cup of the white cranberry juice)
-Shake and enjoy! Garnish with a slice of lime!

*For a little sparkling taste, add a little bit of seltzer water!

Pizza Crescent Rolls

A great and easy Pinterest appetizer!

Ingredients:
-Pillsbury Crescent Rolls (I used two rolls)
-Package of Pepperoni
-Mozzarella string cheese
-Olive oil spray
-Garlic or onion seasoning flakes
-Wax paper (much easier for clean up, the cheese gets messy!)
-Marinara sauce (optional)

Directions:
-Preheat oven to 375
-Line a cookie/baking sheet with wax paper, spray with olive oil or Pam
-Roll out each crescent roll.
-At the very top place about 4 pepperonis and a little less than half of a string cheese stick.
-Roll into a crescent. Spray the tops with olive oil.
-Sprinkle the top with garlic or onion flakes.
-Bake according to package directions or until golden. (Aprox. 15-17 min)

Enjoy! Marinara sauce would also be great for dipping!
