What's for Dinner?

I love Saturdays!  It's one of the only two regular days we get to all be together as a family.  Today is a beautiful, warm, sunny day and I decided that we will be grilling outside tonight instead of cooking in the kitchen.  So, what to make for dinner on the grill?  Chicken, potatoes, and squash is what I feel like with Apple Dumplings for dessert.  The recipe I use to make Apple Dumplings came from a very good friend, who now keeps Easton.  It has been a HUGE hit everytime I make it. So, thanks Tami! 

Apple Dumplings

4 Granny Smith Applies (peeled & cut into wedges - 8 per apple)
4 cans Crescent Rolls
4 Sticks Butter
3 Cups Sugar
2 Tsp Cinnamon
1 Can Mountain Dew

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Wrap an apple slice in each of the crescent rolls and place in a large baking dish.  In a medium saucepan, bring the butter, sugar, and cinnamon to a boil.  Boil for 5 minutes and then pour the sugar mixture over the apple rolls.  Pour the can of Mountain Dew over the top of the rolls.  Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.

If you don't need this large of a batch of apple dumplings you can cut everything in half for a half batch.  They are wonderful served by warm by themselves or with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!  Enjoy!

Now, to finish laundry (yuck!) and cleaning the bathrooms (double yuck!).
