Soft Garlic Knots
These delicious rolls are from Creations by Kara. They disappeared as soon as they were placed on the table. They're very easy and delicious.
3 c flour
1 T sugar
2 tsp yeast
1 1/4 tsp salt
2 T olive oil
1/4 c milk
1 c hot water
Garlic butter glaze:
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 T melted butter
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. (I used my Bosch.) Add the olive oil, milk, and water. Mix until ingredients have formed a dough. Knead on low speed until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, turn once to coat, and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rise for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk. Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into an 8" long rope and tie into a knot. Place on a greased cookie sheet. Let rise for 30-45 minutes. Combine all glaze ingredients and brush over rolls. Bake at 350 until lightly browned, about 18-20 minutes.

Chicken Cordon Bleu Bundles
12 Rhodes dinner rolls
1 c. lean cooked ham, cubed
1/2 tsp basil
pinch of marjoram
1 egg white, beaten
1 c. cooked chicken, cubed
1 c. Swiss cheese, grated
1/4 tsp oregano
pinch thyme
sesame seeds
Thaw rolls in refrigerator overnight or 4 hours at room temperature. Allow refrigerated rolls to warm to room temperature for 1 hour. In a bowl, mix chicken, cheese, ham, and seasonings. Flatten 2 dinner rolls together into about a 6 inch circle. Scoop about 1/2 cup of the filling into the center of each circle. Pull edges up and around filling and pinch together. Brush with egg white and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Place in a 9x13 inch pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Cover with plastic wrap & let rise for about 15 minutes. Remove wrap and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. I like to serve these with Alfredo sauce for dipping. I use the McCormick dry packets, because I keep them in my food storage.
Sometimes I mix about 1 cup of pizza sauce, 1 1/2 cups mozzarella, and other pizza toppings for the filling. Roll out and bake the same as the chicken. I skip the sesame seeds.

1 tsp oregano
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
3 beaten eggs
2 tablespoons margarine
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tsp parsley
8 ounces hot cooked fettuccine noodles
Brown meat in a 10 inch skillet, drain. Add onion, tomatoes, and oregano; bring to a boil. Simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Combine mozzarella, Parmesan, eggs, margarine, parsley, and garlic power. Toss noodles with egg mixture, add to meat mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.
