Valentine's Foods - Garlic Herb Rolls

The recipes for today and the next two days may not seem like the traditional Valentine's food, because there is nothing red or heart-shaped about them, but they are foods that are full of aphrodisiacs.

The recipe I am sharing with you today is a recipe for these cute Garlic Herb Rolls.  They are cute little rolled up rolls with a garlic herb butter inside, which is full of aphrodisiac herbs that should help you feel the love.

The garlic herb butter contains garlic, rosemary, and tarragon, all three of which are considered aphrodisiacs.  Garlic is considered an aphrodisiac because it is known to provide your body with energy.  Rosemary is known as an aphrodisiac because it encourages digestion and increases circulation.  Tarragon also encourages digestion.  Another reason why tarragon is considered an aphrodisiac is because it builds up your body heat.  Energy, proper digestion, good blood circulation, and body heat are all pieces of the puzzle of love.

These rolls are easy to make, and you only need 5 ingredients.  First, melt your butter and mix in your garlic, rosemary, and tarragon.

Then roll out a tube of Pillsbury Classic Pizza Crust onto a clean surface and spread your garlic herb butter around, getting it as even as possible and as close to each edge as you can.

Then with your crust in front of you as in the picture above, roll it from right to left.  Then cut it into six pieces.

Place each piece/roll in a greased cup of your muffin tin.

Bake for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees or until golden brown.

These rolls are a perfect part of a meal with the recipes I will be sharing the next two days.
