French Toast Rolls

Sorry us Moore gals have neglected the blog a bit. Between Tracy and I having our babies, Shell getting pregnant with her third, Alana moving from Northern California to southern and then to utah while her husband finishes podiatry school, aubrie raising sweet little Rylie pie, and all of us visiting California to witness the marriage between brother in law Brandon and our NEW sister in law Ashleigh, we've been a bit busy! 

No promises we'll keep up the way we see to but we'll try ;) 

I seem to have had quite the sweet tooth lately. 

Or I'm just getting lazy with dinners and making the same few things over and over.

 All my recent tried recipes have been sweets. 

But seriously this one is yummmmmmyyy. 

And dangerous.

So, if you're on a diet... Run. And fast. 

As always, I just eyeball things but I don't think there's a way you could mess this up.

Ingredients

4 tbsp. softened Salted butter

4 slices bread (if in Utah, use grandma sycamores) 

1 1/2ish tsp cinnamon

2-3 tbsp white sugar

1 tbsp brown sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

1 tbsp milk

Directions:

Take crust off bread and use a rolling pin to flatten slices. In a small bowl mash 2 tbsp butter, sugars, and cinnamon together to form a paste. Spread evenly onto bread slices and roll up! Whisk egg, vanilla, and milk together. Dip rolls into egg mixture. Fry on a frying pan with remaining butter til crisp on the outside. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top and put some syrup for dipping on the side! So bad, yet sooo good! ;)

All my love,

Crescent Roll Cinnamon Rolls

Hey there, it's been a while!
I think all of us girls can agree that December and January FLEW by!
So... the blog got neglected.
But! I have quite a few recipes lined up to be shared!
Let's hope I get around to it ;)
I'm due to have my first baby in about 3 weeks so it's been a little crazy over here, but I'm living up eating what I want until our sweet pea arrives ;)
Then, the New Year's "goal" kicks in.
So until then, I'll probably be making these bad boys quite a few more times!
I went to Ikea the other day.
As I stood in line I smelled the cinnamon rolls and suddenly I was craving cinnamon rolls... go figure.
I mean, they're only a dollar.
So, I got one. And, was seriously unimpressed.
Such a let down.
That craving has stayed alive since then... therefore crescent roll cinnamon rolls that only take like 15 minutes!
Score.

Side note: My measurements are incredibly lame for this because it totally just kinda happened tonight. But, I think it'll be pretty hard to mess up so just go with it.

Ingredients:

• 1 package Pillsbury crescent rolls
• A little less than half a stick melted butter
• Brown Sugar
• White granulated sugar
• Ground cinnamon
• Cream Cheese frosting (homemade or from a can. Whatever floats your boat)

Directions:

1) Pre-heat your oven to 375. Then roll out your dough. I put mine on parchment paper because it makes clean up SO much easier. Then I went over it with my rolling pin once. Make sure to close the holes from seams. It avoids a huge mess.

2) Spread your melted butter evenly on the dough. I used a rubber spatula and avoided getting too close to the edge.

3) Sprinkle a VERY generous amount of brown sugar, white sugar, and cinnamon on top of the butter. I may have been more generous than necessary but I sure didn't want a lame Ikea cinnamon roll...

4) Roll up your dough starting at the top. Unless you want like 4 superrrrrr fat cinnamon rolls. Cut them up about an inch thick.Then put them in a cupcake tin sprayed with nonstick spray.

5) Bake them for about 10 minutes and they're done! Pretty simple for such a yummy treat!

6) Of course, you can't forget the icing. I had a can of store bought cream cheese frosting that wasn't going to be used any time soon. I don't like store bought frosting... but I actually didn't mind it on these! Next time, I'll still probably make my own though. I microwaved two spoonfuls for about 10 seconds then drizzled it over each roll. So, SO yum!

Now go ahead and make your own!

It's worth it, I promise! :)

All my love,

Aleigh Joy
