Jolene's Recipe Journal

I've really been slacking on the holidays this year, thinking that my son has outgrown the theme dinners.    He always surprises me at the last minute and I'm scrambling to come up with something.   I had already planned tacos, so I went looking for a quick appetizer or dessert.    I saw lots of sopapilla recipes using crescent dough, which I didn't have, but I did have Pillsbury pizza dough. 

Too hot to run the oven here in New England this week.   I went searching through my "on deck" recipes to find something that I could cook quickly on the stovetop.  This recipe from Cooking Light sounded great.  I subbed Penzey's Black and Red Spice for the black pepper and red pepper and held all the salt until the end.
