I hope everyone had a great weekend! I had Friday off, so mine was extra long (but still never long enough, right?). I’d like to say I was super productive with my day off, but I basically sat around playing video games, caught up on some TV, and baked a loaf of bread (recipe probably to come if I make it again and remember to take pictures. It was delicious and crazy easy).
With most of my posts, I wouldn’t know that anyone I interact with daily actually reads my recipes, but when I posted my broccoli and cheese stuffed rolls, pretty much everyone I know raved about how delicious they looked and tasted. I had some left over dough a few weeks ago and was craving something spicy, so I thought I’d try to get that kind of reaction again!
After not ever eating anything spicy for a long, long time, I’m suddenly obsessed. These would be just as good without the hot sauce, if you’re not into spicy. Cream cheese helps make these nice and creamy even if you eat them cold and keeps the spice in check. I threw in some spinach simply because that’s how I roll and it was a great combination. You could easily use another leafy green or even finely chopped cauliflower or broccoli. This recipe only uses half the dough, because I like always having extra in the fridge. Not sure what else to make? Double the recipe, try the broccoli and cheese rolls, make a pizza, or apple pie cinnamon rolls – it’s a very versatile dough! If you’re feeling lazy, thaw some frozen store bought pizza dough and it’ll save you having to make any and let it rise.
Side Note: I know a few people have made recipes from my blog, but I always wonder if there are more out there. I’m thinking about doing some sort of contest where people Tweet or email pictures of the food they’ve made and I’ll randomly select someone to get a gift card. Anyone have any suggestions for the logistics of this? I don’t use much social media (but am not opposed to setting something up for my blog). What should I use for this: Twitter, email, Instagram? Any suggestions?

Kelly, I pinned this a while ago and just got around to actually making them. I added shredded chicken to my rolls and just made them bigger. I also added cheese to the tops because I am a huge sucker for crunchy cheese. They’re amazing! I’m adding them to my “It’s a Keeper” Pinterest board, and I will definitely be making them again!
Ashleigh — glad you like them! Love the idea of putting cheese on top, I’m a sucker for crunchy cheese too! (who isn’t??) I appreciate your stopping by to let me know that you loved the recipe 🙂

These rolls look incredible. Not only do you get the rolls fluffy and light, but that cheese stuffing… argh, you are a genius Kelly! This is the first time I’ve discovered your blog but it;s amazing. I’m going to try the broccoli version soon too! Thanks for sharing! x
Glad you found me and glad you found some recipes you like!
You say cheese stuffed and I’m in!
Oh boy these look SOO good, cheese and spice? This is my kind of roll.
Gooey cheese inside a warm roll? Yes, please. My heart just started beating a little quicker.
I think Twitter is a great idea!! Pinterest is a great way for people to store your recipes for the future though!!
I’ve had quite a bit of luck with Pinterest so far (though I don’t have a separate account for my blog… Maybe I should make one!), but I have a recipe with over 1000 pins (!!!) and there’s not really a way to tell if anyones actually made it — I’m so so so curious.
HI, it’s my first visit to your blog and I love the tasty, healthy recipes you propose!
The pictures are amazing, too.
I’m glad you found me! 🙂
I’m a hot sauce lover too! It just makes everything better. These look amazing- cheese is the best food around 🙂
Spicy, cheesy and is stuffed into a roll?! Yes please. Keep these recipes coming.
Look at that cheese! Oh my. Don’t know if I could limit myself if these were set in front of me!!
the good news is they make fantastic left overs, so you just have to tell yourself you want one for lunch tomorrow, too 😉
About the side note, I would say facebook is the way to go. Most people will follow on facebook. I have not found twitter to be that good for followers other than other bloggers. Facebook you get more actual people that just like your food. You will also find that a lot more other bloggers will share your recipes. There is quite a good and very supportive food blogger community on facebook.
Thanks for the input! I’ve been out of the social networking game for almost 3 years now, it’s a little intimidating to jump back in
I have to make these soon. I adore the hot sauce in the bun. I have a feeling I would want to eat them all though.
cheese, bread, and spice? Sold!
Cheese and bread…what could be better? These look so good!
I love these! What a great recipe – spicy is goooood. 🙂
Um yes please. These look beyond delicious. In fact, I wish I had one, or two, or three right now! Thank you for sharing them with us!
It was very very hard to eat any less than three 😀
Oh my, my, my. Hubs and my son would FLIP over these, thanks!!!!
Thanks 🙂
I am fairly certain that anything “cheese stuffed” is amazing!! I might have to try this with Daiya “cheese” and vegan cream cheese to make a vegan version :).
Let me know how that works out! I’ve thought about using vegan cheeses in cheese stuffed rolls before, but it’s kind of expensive and hard to find around here. I didnt want to take the chance and waste it.
These look so good, Kelly! I’ve thought about doing something like that contest, too. I think Twitter or Facebook. I’ve got to make these!
These look amazing! Any thing that includes cheese and bread in one bite is good is my book 🙂 And I love the contest idea! Twitter is easier to set up and maintain (in my opinion) but Facebook is good for blogs too.
I was leaning towards Twitter, mostly because every time I look at Josh’s Facebook, it looks SO complicated and intimidating. I remember it looking so much simpler and easy to use when I was in college.
