My mind has been swirling with possible recipe ideas. I need a big chalkboard and color-coded paper and pushpins or something so I can visualize and organize.
1. Polka Dot Pull-Aparts. Biscuits sliced open and stuffed with strawberry, apricot, or blueberry preserves, then resealed, dipped in melted butter, tossed in cinnamon and colored sugar (red = strawberry, yellow = apricot, blue = blueberry), placed in 9" round pan, baked, flipped onto plate, drizzed with glaze, sprinkles on top. A new tradition is born - the celebratory birthday breakfast treat!
2. Old-fashioned stacked canapes. A chocolate version perhaps. Alternating thin layers of brownie, strawberry or raspberry preserves, chocolate syrup, cookie, almonds, mini chocolate chips? Cut into narrow towers and skewed with a party pick. Possible name: "Tower of Temptation"
3. Pasties - drain a Progresso soup and bam! There's your filling of diced meat, potatoes and veggies. Throw on a biscuit/crescent sheet/pie crust, fold up and crimp. Maybe before baking brush on melted butter and sprinkle on breadcrumbs/spices for a kick. Big size for a meal, bite size for appetizers. Maybe call them popovers, turnovers, foldovers instead of pasties.
4. Dress up a Progresso soup with canned tomatoes. Make two breadbowls out of the crusty French loaf can.
5. Brownie pops or cheesecake on a stick - probably not original enough.
6. Something involving the flavor combination of ham and peaches. Not sure about the List A ingredient for this one.
7. Last time I was obsessed about using the Orange Rolls for a savory dish. But rules state that if a glaze comes with the rolls you have to use the glaze. Can't figure out how the glaze fits in. Some kind of pork tenderloin medallion with pineapple and the orange roll, but what to do with the glaze???
