The Story & Intro
Hi, I’m INAYA, 38, from the beautiful island of Crete in Greece. Cooking has been part of my life since I was a child, learning from my grandmother how to make traditional Greek dishes full of love and flavor. I believe food brings people together, especially women who want to share warmth and happiness through cooking. I like to keep things simple but tasty, mixing classic recipes with a little creativity. Sometimes my kitchen gets messy, but that’s where the fun is! Whether you’re new to cooking or have some experience, I’m here to help you enjoy making delicious meals that feel like home. Cooking is about more than just food — it’s about sharing stories and making memories.
When I first made Classic Crescent Roll Pigs in a Blanket, I didn’t expect them to disappear so fast. I remember that afternoon clearly.

Ingredients & Little Kitchen Secrets
I always say simple ingredients need care and respect. Here’s what I use, along with my little secrets.
I choose good-quality crescent roll dough because buttery dough makes all the difference. I use small sausages or cocktail hot dogs, not too thick, so the dough cooks evenly. If I feel playful, I brush a little melted butter on top before baking. Sometimes I sprinkle sesame seeds, sometimes poppy seeds, and sometimes nothing at all.
My secret is patience. I let the oven fully preheat. Hot ovens give flaky dough and happy cooks.
How I Make It, Step by Step
I start by preheating my oven and lining a baking tray. I open the crescent roll dough carefully, separating each triangle like I’m unfolding a small gift. I place a sausage at the wide end and gently roll it up. I don’t rush. I let my hands do the work slowly.
I place each roll seam-side down. This step matters. It keeps everything snug. When I finish rolling them all, I admire them for a moment. They already look inviting.
I bake until golden and puffy. I listen for the soft sizzling sound that tells me they’re almost ready. When I pull them out, I let them rest just a bit. Hot filling can surprise you if you bite too fast.
How I Serve It at Home
At home, I serve Classic Crescent Roll Pigs in a Blanket straight from the tray, right in the center of the table. I add small bowls of mustard, ketchup, or yogurt dip. We eat with our hands, laugh, and talk. No plates needed sometimes. These moments matter more than perfect presentation.
When friends come over, I double the batch. They vanish quickly, and someone always asks for the recipe.
Storage, Reheating & Make-Ahead Tips
If I have leftovers, which rarely happens, I store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They keep well for up to three days. I reheat them in the oven, not the microwave. The oven brings back that flaky texture.
I often prepare them ahead of time and refrigerate them unbaked. When guests arrive, I slide the tray into the oven and enjoy fresh snacks without stress.

I serve them warm with dips, share stories, and enjoy every bite. These little rolls prove that simple food can create big smiles and unforgettable moments.
