Spinach Crescents
I haven't tried this recipe yet but it looks like it would be a great way to have the kids eat some spinach because they LOVE crescent rolls.
SPINACH CRESCENTS

1 pkg (10 ounce) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 tsp light olive oil or canola oil
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 pkg (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
In a food processor or blender, finely chop the almonds. Add spinach, Parmesan cheese, onion, oil, salt and pepper; cover and process until well blended. Unroll and separate the crescent dough into eight pieces.
Spread spinach mixture evenly over dough to within 1/8 in. of edge. Roll up and place on a greased baking sheet.
Bake at 375 for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 8 servings.

Raspberry Cream Dessert
When I saw this I had to try it because it has cream cheese. Anything with Cream Cheese in it is a big hit with our family. It also looked easy and fun for a Family Home Evening Treat.
RASPBERRY CREAM DESSERT
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
1 package (10 ounces)frozen sweetened raspberries, thawed
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Gradually fold in whipped cream. Pipe mixture into two dessert dishes or spoon into two 4 in. spring form pans coated with cooking spray. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until set. I am going to use my trifle dish.
Drain raspberries, reserving juice, set berries aside. Add enough water to the juice to measure 3/4 cup. In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and juice mixture until smooth. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Cool slightly.
Stir in reserved raspberries. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Serve with cream dessert.
This makes 2 Large serving.
