My daughter can make anything out of crescent rolls…I mean anything. I am pretty sure she and her fiance will be living on them the first few months after their wedding in December. Don’t get me wrong, everything she has concocted has been a unique creation. Something I’ve never had in a crescent before. And all of them have been so yummy I would ask for them again myself. And it’s a crescent roll so really, how could you not love it?
One night this week she decided to try her hand at stir fry and I have to say the garage smelled heavenly when I walked in from outside. Unfortunately, she only let me test the rice to make sure it was done…not a bite of the stir fry. But she did save two of these warm and delightfully flaky creations just for me. And for the blog.
Guest Recipe! Cinnamon Sugar Roll Ups by Casey – 4 Weight Watchers Points Plus per serving (8 servings)
Ingredients:
- 8 Pillsbury Original Crescent Rolls (do yourself a favor and get the ORIGINAL full fat version. The low fat only save less than a half point per serving so why bother?)
- 4 tbsp Trader Joe’s Light Whipped Cream Cheese
- 4 tsp organic raw sugar or coconut sugar
- 8 dashes of ground cinnamon
Roll out crescents onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet and separate at the perforations. Spread 1/2 tbsp of the whipped cream cheese to each triangle and then sprinkle with 1/2 tsp sugar and a dash of ground cinnamon. Roll triangles at an angle so that one end is semi flat. Place flat edge down on the parchment paper. Preheat oven to 375 and bake for 11-13 minutes or until they start to brown. You are going to have a crowd gathering when they come out of the oven so be prepared to serve immediately
