Comfort Food to the Rescue!

On those nights when both my hubs and I had pretty crummy days where nothing seemed to go right and we were so busy at work or with school, I love making comfort food to cheer us up for the rest of the night and hopefully give a positive attitude for the next day! Food always warms my soul! 
 
With this thought in mind after a long and not so great day (especially for my husband), I decided to make Pizza Rolls tweaked from 2 great places, my homemade pizza sauce to iPackLunch recipe to calm the palette with comfort food :)

Getting all the ingredients together
HOMEMADE PIZZA SAUCE!
All ready to go in the oven!
Pizza rolls..... Chow down!

DIP IN SOME EXTRA PIZZA SAUCE FOR A BLAST FROM THE PAST PIZZA ROLL FOR ALL YOUR COMFORTING NEEDS!

Ingredients:
Reduced Fat Crescent Rolls (whichever brand you like)
Italian Style Shredded Cheese or just plain mozarella
Fresh Pizza Sauce (or store bought if you have it on hand)
  2 tablespoons olive oil
  1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1 teaspoon dried basil 
Salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

To make pizza sauce: In a medium sized pot over medium/low heat, saute the garlic in the olive oil for a couple minutes.  Add the remaining ingredients, stir together, and turn up the heat to medium high until it begins to bubbleReduce heat to simmer.  Can use as is or make ahead and store in your refrigerator.


Add Pizza Sauce and shredded cheese to crescent rolls and roll as tightly as possible.  Place on greased pan or silpat and bake as rolls were directed/until browned.  Serve alongside warmed pizza sauce for dipping.  Homemade comfort food to cheer up your spirit and your tummy!
