1 lb (450g) ground sausage (breakfast sausage works well)
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
2 cans refrigerated crescent rolls (8 rolls per can)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional for added flavor)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 egg (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions:
Cook the Sausage:
In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

In a medium bowl, combine the cooked sausage with the softened cream cheese. Stir until the mixture is well blended and creamy.
Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Prepare the Crescents:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Unroll the crescent rolls and separate them into triangles.
Place a heaping tablespoon of the sausage and cream cheese mixture on the wide end of each crescent roll.
Roll and Bake:
Roll each crescent starting at the wide end, and tuck the sides as you go to keep the filling inside.
Place the crescent rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
Optional: Brush the tops with a beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.

1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce (your favorite brand)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
For the Lasagna Layers:
4 cooked lasagna noodles
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1/4 cup buffalo sauce (for drizzling)
For Assembly:
4 burger buns
Blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing
Lettuce leaves
Sliced tomatoes (optional)
Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Prepare the Lasagna Layers:
In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, and Italian seasoning.
Lay out the cooked lasagna noodles. Spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture on each noodle, then roll them up to create mini lasagna rolls.
Assemble the Lasagna Burger:
On the bottom of each burger bun, place a lettuce leaf.
Add the buffalo chicken patty on top of the lettuce.
Place a lasagna roll on top of the patty and drizzle it with a little marinara sauce and extra buffalo sauce.
Add a dollop of blue cheese or ranch dressing for that classic buffalo chicken flavor.
Optionally, top with sliced tomatoes and fresh basil leaves.
Place the top of the bun on the burger to complete the assembly.

Chicken and Dumplings
Ingredients:
For the Soup:
1 1/2 lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
6 cups chicken broth
1 medium onion, chopped
3 carrots, peeled and diced
2 celery stalks, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Dumplings:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1 cup whole milk
Instructions:
Cook the Chicken:
In a large pot, combine the chicken breasts, chicken broth, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaf, thyme, and parsley.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Discard the bay leaf and set the shredded chicken aside.
Make the Dumplings:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the milk until the dough comes together.
Simmer the Soup:
Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
Bring the soup back to a simmer.
Add the Dumplings:
Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling dough onto the simmering soup, making sure to leave space between each dumpling as they will expand.
Cover the pot and let the dumplings cook for 12-15 minutes, or until they are puffed and cooked through. Do not lift the lid while the dumplings are cooking, as they need steam to rise properly.
Serve:
Ladle the chicken and dumplings into bowls and serve hot for a comforting, hearty meal!

Thicken the Sauce (Optional):
Once the ribs are done cooking, carefully remove them from the slow cooker and transfer them to a serving platter.
Pour the sauce from the slow cooker into a small saucepan. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
