- Older youth are overrepresented in the foster care population, as they generally wait longer to be adopted, and have lower overall adoption rates.
- On adoptuskids.org, roughly 41 percent of the children and youth actively photo listed are between the ages of 15 and 18 years old. About 58 percent are male. (Most recent stats as of May 31, 2015)

Cheesy Sausage Crescent Bites
With Thanksgiving just a couple of weeks away, my family and I are talking food, family, and fun. We’re planning our meals, which will have our traditional favorites as well as a table full of appetizers.
Each year when our families get together there is one delicious appetizer that all of us rave about and it then becomes a tradition too.
This year, I think I just might be making a new family tradition when I serve my Cheesy Sausage Crescent Bites! These heavenly bites of yumminess all started with a simple Pillsbury Crescent dinner Roll recipe that I modified a bit. I think you’ll enjoy them as much as my family has and may want to #ThanksgivingWithPillsbury too!
Cheesy Sausage Crescent Bites
Ingredients:
Makes 40 bites (depending on size of bite you make)
- 1 pound Roasted Red Pepper Sausage (or any bulk sausage flavor you like)
- 2 cups (8oz.) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 can (8oz) Pillsbury crescent dinner rolls
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary leaves, crushed
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil. Spray foil with cooking spray, set aside.
- Cook sausage on medium heat until just brown, drain, and put in mixing bowl.
- Add cheese and rosemary to bowl and mix with hands or spoon.
- Unroll crescent dough onto floured work surface; coat each side of dough with flour.
- Cut dough into about ¼ -inch pieces with a pizza cutter or knife.
- Mix crescent dough pieces into bowl of sausage mixture in small amounts until well blended.
- Shape mixture into 40 inch sized balls. Place on pan.
- Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown.
These Cheesy Sausage Crescent bites take about 45 minutes from start to finish but are well worth the time. They taste fantastic straight from the oven or at room temperature. If your family is a fan of finger foods, you’ve got to try these! Be sure to check out my other recipes by using this tab.
