Thanksgiving Crescent Roll Cornucopias

Hi!

I just have a quick post about what I made for Thanksgiving.

I found a recipe online for tomato, goat cheese, and pine nut filled crescent rolls and I decided to change it up to my own tastes! Also, I tried to make them look like cornucopias for a harvest theme.


I used Craisins, walnuts, and feta for the filling. I used the same ratio of ingredients in the mixture as the original recipe; 2 parts Craisins to 1 part each of the walnuts and feta.






I just used the regular sized crescent rolls. This will work with any size and you have to measure your filling proportionally. I take the very long end and smush it along the short end.




You cab mush the leftover part along the edge of the triangle and it forms a lip of the cornucopia.
 







 Fill and twist the end!










 I ended up baking them a few minutes longer than the roll package suggests for rolls alone.






They're tasty and light! It's like a little snack in a pouch! A cute edition to your holiday spread.

Octopus Pencil Topper Progession

On my day off the other week I fully intended to run errands, and do chores, but it didn't turn out that way. Instead, I played with my eraser clay! It was super relaxing. Here's the progession of one of them.

First try at the face:
My friend said it was too creepy.

This octopus is about twice the size of my normal octopus topper.
