Hmmm…We were having “make your own pizza” tonight but now that I’ve seen this idea I want to do this instead. Looks great! My kids love those Bistro things and I hate the fat and salt content this would be a good sub for school linches. Especially making ahead of time. Thanks for the great idea!!

These are crazy amazing! I’ve made them twice now and the first time I used the store brand crescent rolls and they were very hard to roll up, gooey and thin. This time I used the Pillsbury rolls and they were MUCH easier to use. so so good. A new favorite!

I’m starting to hate that my name is Nancy, lol! I can’t wait to try these this week and I’m so glad they are only 8 WWPP each. Pair it with a nice low fat Caesar salad and I’ve got dinner to myself and 2 hungry men… Ok, one toddler and one hungry man :)

Yet another great looking recipe! Serve it with a side garden salad…perfect! I bet my kids would like creating their own pockets! I might even try making smaller ones in bite-sizes as a fun snack for the teenage son.

I made these with my daughter yesterday. we added some mushrooms to the mix and it was delicious. I made 2 batches so I could freeze then and save them for later. Thanks for another great idea!

I had so much trouble making the stroboli with the TJ’s pizza dough. Stuck to the pan and couldn’t get it off. But they tasted great. (I’m a novice) But I’ll definitely try this with the crescent dough. Should be much easier to work with. Plus, I should have some for leftovers on those nights when I don’t want to cook.

Nice idea! I truly love any foodstuff wrapped in dough.

I made these tonight- delicious!! I did add Italian turkey sausage (a very small amount)- my 7 year old son and I LOVED them! Thanks for the great recipe!

I wonder if you could freeze them unbaked, then pop them right in the oven, like a hot pocket? Or partially bake them…I don’t know. Then again, maybe I should leave the genius cooking ideas to you!

Wow! I know I don’t comment very often…but I feel like coming out of the wood work on this one to show my support! I love this idea Roni! I love A LOT of your ideas. Crescent rolls are right up my alley!!! It’s great the way you change something a lot of people crave (except Nancy) and make it good for you, like Ryan said!!! I love it!!!

And that’s why I do the site. To INSPIRE! I buy Crescent rolls 1-2 a year. It’s not the end of the world to use them for an idea. In my opinion, living and eating healthy is about finding balance. For me enjoy this now and then is a part of that balance.

I’m a Nancy too, but I thought these looked great! Rather than be snippy about the crescent rolls, maybe the other Nancy should think of it as inspiration for making the recipe more friendly for her. If she doesn’t like cresecent rolls, maybe she could comment with a suggestion for a replacement. How about try the recipe with a whole wheat tortilla or something. Life’s short! Look for the good when you can!

Thanks for the idea! I’ll definitely make these soon. I really like the idea of using the crescent rolls for four servings of dinner. If I make the rolls to go along with a regular dinner, I can never stick to eating only one. This is a much better use for them!

They do like like a much healthier version of Lean Pockets. I also might try making them with TJ’s wheat pizza dough.

Take care,
Sherry

This is sheer genius. I’m not even kidding. I will make these for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I will make them for myself and for parties. I will make them for young and old…I declare pockets for ALL! Holy amazing.

This is a great example of a meal with all the benefits of fast/convenience food (especially with the freezer to oven feature!) but but with a much better nutritional profile. Is this in the top-10 most healthy foods in the world? No, but you’re not going to eat it every day and sometimes, especially with kids, you need something simple, easy, fast and yummy! Jackpot with this one!

Thanks for sharing! Will be making it this week. I know my daughters will love it!

The “refrigerated canned bread dough” area of the grocery store used to be where I picked up many staples… biscuits, cinnamon rolls, crescent rolls. I’ve been afraid to walk toward that area for the last 2 years.

But I have only recently heard that they make reduced fat crescent rolls, and I’ve been thinking about checking them out… only problem is, can I handle it? Maybe I’ll just stick with my frozen Trader Joe’s whole wheat pizza crusts. So tasty!

Totally respect that you used what you had in the fridge though; you gotta do that, especially if you can make something healthy (that the kid will actually eat).

YUM! I know what i am making for dinner tonight (literally!) . I will more than likely add turkey pepperoni or ground italian sausage- the Fiance will stroke out if i make him dinner without meat in it ;) that idea brings so many ideas to the table- like Liz was saying with brocoli and chicken. Homemade pockets how fun. Im sure this will be a hit tonight and the many ideas that come after- thanks Roni

They look like a lean pocket but 12 times better!

Awhile back in the grocery store, I saw they now have crescent rolls without the crease. They are just a flat sheet of the dough. I took broccoli, laughing cow cheese (the blue cheese kind) and some chicken I cooked and put it in one and it was super yummy!

Thanks for another great idea :)

If you don’t have something constructive to say – KEEP IT TO YOURSELF!!

I LOVE this idea! Especially since you can freeze them. They would also be a good way to use up some vegie bits rather than letting them spoil. I am thinking this is a good avenue for some leftovers, too!! Great for lunch at work!

Thanks, Roni. MOST of us appreciate what you do and share!

What a great idea! I too have crescent rolls in my fridge and have been wondering what to do with them. Needed an idea for dinner tonight and saw this posting. Perfect! Thanks Roni!

Crescent rolls are the bomb diggity, and this recipe looks delicious. Nancy needs to go fly a kite…
