Poker Night

Poker night Saturday night, lots of fun and I didn't even win. Dean and Ronnie were the big winners.
Last Thursday we decided at the last minute to have a poker party. We have had informal games before but this was the first time we planned the party around poker, more accurately, Texas Hold Em.
Some simple furniture rearrangement, snacks, drinks, cards and chips were all we needed. We started with 9 at the table and 4 hours later it was down to head to head play. Snacks were simple standbys. The sausage pinwheels were a hit and so easy to make.

Seven Layer Taco Salad w/ Fritos Scoops
Buffalo Chicken Dip
Sausage Pinwheels*
Wasabi Almonds
Milk Chocolate Brownies w/ Chocolate Whipped Cream Frosting
Several pitchers of Seabreeze


Sausage Pinwheels

1/2 lb. breakfast sausage
I used Jimmy Dean because it has the least fat content and you don't want these to be greasy.
1 package refrigerated crescent rolls

Take sausage out of the refrigerator about 15 minutes before starting to assemble the pinwheels, it is much easier to spread.
Roll crescent rolls into squares. Press together seams. Spread the sausage thinly and evenly over rolls. Roll up jelly roll fashion and place in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes. (These may be frozen for several days at this point). After these have chilled slice into 1/4 inch slices.
Place on a foil lined baking sheet and bake 20 minutes at 350 or until the bread is golden and the sausage is cooked through.
These are great for breakfast too.

So, until tomorrow..............
