Effortless Recipes

Tear an 18 inch section of heavy duty foil to form one pouch for each person. Spray one side of each section with cooking spray. Prepare stations to include some or all of the following types of food. Add leftovers or any other items as desired. Preheat oven to 375⁰ or light fire, adding fuels to create hot, consistent temperatures.

To construct each pouch:

Place choices of proteins and vegetables in center of sprayed foil section, being careful not to place more ingredients than will fit as all four sides of each foil section is folded over. Sprinkle seasonings / sauces on top of ingredients. Pinch-seal sides of foil over ingredients and create a pouch to allow air flow within the pouch. Place pouch on baking sheet and place in oven, or directly on outdoor grill. Cook for approximately 30 minutes or until proteins are cooked and vegetables are soft. Open pouches and enjoy!                                     

1. Open cans of crescent rolls and unroll each section on a lightly floured surface, being careful not to tear apart individual rolls. Pinch perforations to close. Roll out each section of four crescent rolls to a quarter inch depth, creating 4 long rectangles.
2. Preheat oven to 350⁰.
3. Prepare 8 x 8 inch baking dish by lightly spraying with butter flavored cooking spray.
4. Melt butter in microwave. In mixing bowl, mix both sugars, cinnamon, ginger and 2 tablespoons zest. Drizzle ¼ cup melted butter in mix, stirring until incorporated.
5. Brush surface of crescent roll sections with melted butter. Sprinkle sugar mixture on the surface, spreading until each rectangle is covered. Roll lengthwise and gently pat rolls to bind filling into rolls. Gently push ends of rolls until each one measures approximately 10 inches in length.
6. Slice each roll to form 5 mini rolls each. Stand each mini roll in prepared baking dish, making five rows of four rolls in each row. Rolls will lean.
7. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes until tops are golden. Rolls will lean further while baking and form a pull-apart “loaf.”
8. For glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, vanilla and butter flavoring until small lumps form. Whisk just enough orange juice in to form a pourable glaze. Whisk until no lumps remain.
9. When baked, remove rolls from oven, and allow to cool on cooling rack for 5 minutes. Drizzle glaze over warm rolls until each one is well covered. Sprinkle remaining zest on top.  To serve, use tongs and pull apart rolls individually. Serve warm!
