ITALIAN CHICKEN ROLL-UPS
Because I have a busy schedule, I like to keep a batch of these tender chicken rolls in the freezer. Coated with golden crumbs, they seem fancy enough for company. I've substituted mozzarella cheese for the provolone and pastrami for the ham with equally delicious results. -Barbara Wobser, Sandusky, Ohio

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment.

- Unroll the dough on a cutting board. Spread the pesto on the dough in an even layer. Cut the dough along the perforated lines to create 8 triangles. Cut each triangle in half to create 16 long, thin triangles.
- Lay a mozzarella stick across the bottom of the wide end of one of the triangles. Lay 1 strip of red pepper crosswise next to the mozzarella, then lay 1 piece of prosciutto over most of the remaining pesto layer. Starting at the wide end, roll up the dough tightly around the filling and place seam-side down on one of the prepared baking sheets.

PARTY ROLL-UPS: AN AMERICAN, AN ENGLISHMAN, AND AN ITALIAN
Cold cuts and cream cheese are a staple in our refrigerator, so when I'm not in the mood for bread, I like to make these "naked" sandwiches, which also make great appetizers. The possible combinations are endless, but these "gentlemen" are my favorites. You can also make these with a tortilla as the outside layer. Amounts are approximate (play around with it) and listed per roll-up.

Steps:
- For each roll-up, spread the cream cheese as evenly as possible across the slice of meat (but don't be anal about it if it glops up a bit--room temperature cream cheese is ideal).
- Then spread or sprinkle the other filling on top.
- Roll it up.
- Make as many as you want.
- Eat or serve as is or cut on the horizontal into pinwheels (not recommended for the salami unless you've got a tortilla on the outside).
- Optional: garnish with toothpicks securing a cranberry for each American, a dried apricot for each Englishman, and an olive for each Italian.
- Feel free to add additional seasonings: some like the American with a little mayo in it, some like the Englishman with a touch of dijon mustard, and some like the Italian with garlic powder (or an herbed cream cheese)-- horseradish might go in there somewhere!
