Making dinner is easy when you use just 6 ingredients. It’s also cost efficient when you shop with an American Express Blue Cash Card! My recipes using just six ingredients were Fettuccine Alfredo and Snickers Salad. There were tons of great recipes submitted for the Dinner at 6 Giveaway. So many in fact that I’ve been inspired to make a weekly series featuring 6 ingredient recipes. Keep your eye out for it! Now, onto the winner! Natalie (aleq13@) was the randomly selected winner. She actually submitted TWO great recipes. Her submissions are below:
Sopapilla Cheesecake
Two cans of crescent rolls (I only use Pillsbury)
Two 8 oz packages of cream cheese (I only use Philly), softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (I use C&H), divided
1 tsp + REAL vanilla
1 tsp (more if you like) Cinnamon
1 stick of REAL butter, melted
Press one can of the crescent rolls on the bottom of a 9×13 pan, pinching to seal the seams.
In mixing bowl, combine together the cream cheese, one cup of sugar, and the vanilla until smooth. Spread over the crescent rolls.
Press together the second can of crescent rolls, pinching together at the seams, stretching to cover the 9×13 area. Place over the cream cheese mixture
Add the remaining sugar and cinnamon to the melted butter and drizzle/pour over the top (spreading to cover the surface).
Bake for 30 minutes in 350° oven. Cool, cut, enjoy.
My sister gave me this recipe several years ago. I’ve seen many variations and I’ve altered this a little. It’s a great dessert to bring to a potluck or brunch.
Chicken in Puff Pastry
1 pkg puff pastry sheets
8 oz cream cheese, softened
Garlic Powder to taste
1 Tablespoon dried Parsley flakes
4 halved, boned & skinned, chicken breasts
1 egg, beaten
Remove puff pastry from freezer to thaw.
Place cream cheese in bowl, then add garlic and parsley flakes. Mix well. Set aside.
Roll puff pastry sheets on lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into two pieces (large enough to enclose and seal around the chicken breast). On each of the four pieces, place 1/4 of the cream cheese mixture, then top with a chicken breast half. Seal edges tightly by first brushing the edges with the beaten egg.
Place chicken/pastry seam-side down, on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush top with remaining egg. Bake in 425-degree oven for 25 minutes.
Chicken will be tender, juicy, and delicious. This dish is easy to make and never fails to impress! Enjoy!
Every time I go grocery shopping I’m shocked by the prices. I don’t know why I haven’t gotten used to it but everything always seems over priced to me. Nearly $5 for a box of butter? That just seems crazy. I’m always looking for ways to save money, especially on everyday items. The new American Express Blue Cash cards can help you do just that. There are two different options so you can choose the one that best suits you and your family. Here’s some more information on each one:
– You’ll earn the most cash back with this card but it carries an annual fee of $75. The good news is, there is a for Blue Cash Preferred members. To receive it, spend $500 during the first 90 days of your membership. When you use your Blue Cash Preferred card you’ll earn 6% cash back at grocery stores, up to 3% cash back at department stores and gas stations and 1% on all other eligible purchases. With your Blue Cash Preferred card you’ll earn more cash back at supermarkets than any other card available on the market today.
– This card does not carry an annual membership free, however the cash back structure is lower. You’ll still earn 3% cash back at grocery stores, 2% cash back at department stores and gas stations, and 1% on all other eligible purchases
Both cards– Immediately start earning cash back with no spend minimums or cash back caps. Benefits don’t change so you know exactly what to expect.

My husband used to be completely against credit cards when we first met. Now we have one that we use for almost everything. It’s a rewards card and we pay off the balance each month so we don’t pay finance charges. It helps build our credit, is available for emergency purposes and allows us to earn cash or rewards for purchases we are making regardless. The Blue Cash Card is a great option for this sort of spending because it allows you to earn the most cash back on everyday items. Cool, right?
A complimentary $600 grocery gift card was provided to facilitate this giveaway. An additional $600 gift card will be provided for the winner by the sponsor. All opinions expressed here are my own. See Mommies With Cents disclosure policy for more details.
Thank you very much! I’ll be looking forward to seeing more of the 6-ingredient recipes. If you try either of the recipes I submitted, I hope you’ll let me know what you thought of them (ease of making, deliciousness, and cost–I try to buy my ingredients on sale, so it really isn’t a very expensive recipe to make)
btw, I love Snickers Salad 🙂
My family enjoys fettucini alfredo, also–but, I confess, I often rely on a box mix (just doctoring it up some). I’ll try your recipe soon.
Thank you again.
You’re welcome! I was so excited when your name popped up on the Rafflecopter winner selection since we’d chatted a bit about the recipes! I’ve made the Sopapilla Cheesecake one in the past. It was good but not my favorite. Your other recipe is definitely on my list to try. It sounds so good! I’ve never used puff pastry before though- it’s in the frozen foods section? Do try the alfredo! It’s not the cheapest to make but worth the splurge once in awhile!
