Individual quiches in small ramekins: a good way to use up the extra pie dough. The recipe: Flaky Butter Crust (from Joy of Cooking.) Place rolled crust into ramekins. Filling: 2 eggs, 1/4 c heavy cream, 1T creamy Swiss cheese, cream together. Pour half of the mixture into each ramekin. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bake at 375 for 20-30 min.

Cinnamon roll cookies! Recipe at Indigo Scones. (http://indigoscones.blogspot.com/2012/05/cinnamon-roll-sugar-cookies.html?m=1) I used my own cinnamon cream cheese frosting recipe (2 T butter, 3-4 T cream cheese, vanilla, cinnamon, 1-2 c powdered sugar (the more sugar, the stiffer the frosting)

Raspberry ice cream: 2 c heavy cream, 1 c milk, 5-6 c raspberries, vanilla, 3/4 c sugar. Stir sugar into milk and cream until it dissolves. Stir in vanilla and raspberries (thawed or fresh), then put it in your ice cream maker.
