Foospiration July 23

Thought:

Corage dosen't always roar, sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."



Recipe:

Cranberry-Pecan Crescent Sausage Wraps


1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries, coarsely chopped
1 cup orange juice
1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury refrigerated crescent dinner rolls (8 rolls)
32 cocktail-size smoked link sausages (from 16-oz package)
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2/3 cup chopped Pecans

Heat oven to 400°F. In small bowl, mix cranberries and orange juice. Let stand 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, separate dough into rectangles; press each into 8x4-inch rectangle. Cut each rectangle into 8 (about 2-inch) squares.
Place 1 sausage on each square; wrap dough around sausage. Pinch edges to seal. Place sausage rolls seam side down in 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown.
Meanwhile, drain orange juice from cranberries into 2-quart saucepan; reserve cranberries. Stir brown sugar into orange juice. Cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved.
Remove sausage rolls from oven. Pour orange juice mixture evenly over sausage rolls. Sprinkle with cranberries and pecans. Bake 10 to 13 minutes longer or until golden brown and bubbly. Serve warm.
Yum!

Hi Kim!!
It was so good to hear from you. I am sure for the right price Randi will travel to TN...Yikes! We are really doing good. I am just a little over a month away from the joys of labor and our house has gotten nowhere! So frustrating but Oh well...When it happens (if it happens) it will sure be nice. I check up on your family often and love to see pics. Hope you are all doing well!! WE love and miss you all!
