This week at the radio station where I have my show, we are doing an on air fundraiser for Passion Play Ministries International.  The station is full of volunteers.  When I see a room full of people, I see guinea pigs, I mean taste testers.  Today I am testing my Italian Pinwheels on them. 

I came up with this recipe when a friend of mine purchased some frozen appetizers that had sun-dried tomatoes in them.  It got me thinking of ways I could use sun-dried tomatoes in quick and easy recipes.  Italian Pinwheels is one of the recipes I came up with.

At the radio station this week for the fundraiser is Doug Griffin of Your Family Friendly Morning Show with Doug & Kim and his wife Sheryl.  Sheryl is the author of A Scarlet Cord of Hope.  The book is her true life testimony of her journey through guilt, shame, and fear to hope.  It will have you hooked from the first page. 

Today is the last day to enter the giveaway at Bo's Bowl.  Entries will be accepted until midnight (CST) tonight, July 9th.
