Cinnamon Toast Grilled "Cream" Cheese Sandwiches.

Stop me now!  I don't know what I was thinking.  I am supposed to be eating healthy!  You see, I just got an idea.... that went something like, "instead of making grilled cheese sandwiches, I should make grilled "cream" cheese sandwiches".  My next thought was "on cinnamon toast....wouldn't that be good!"  So here it is: Cinnamon Toast Grilled "Cream" Cheese Sandwiches.  My young women loved them!

10 slices bread
1 (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
3 T. powdered sugar
*butter, cinnamon, sugar

Mix cream cheese and powered sugar. Make sandwiches by spreading cream cheese between two slices of bread and then lightly butter the top and bottom.  Sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on each side as well.  Grill on both sides until gold brown.  Cut in triangles to serve.

Peanut Butter Cup S'mores

This is a summer flashback recipe, so I'm posting it in honor of the sunny days that await us. We were making S'mores at our family reunion this past summer and Korry's aunt Sue got the idea to stick a peanut butter cup in the middle. It was magical.

Graham Crackers

Marshmallows

Reeces Peanut Butter Cups

A roaring fire.

Marshmallow on stick. Hold just in the right spot. Once marshmallow is brown, place on graham cracker and top with peanut butter cup

Tepee Treats

These were a hit with the kiddies on Thanksgiving. Jay and Lou helped me make them the night before and they only took about 10 minutes.

sugar cones (desired amount)
softened ice cream (favorite flavor)
1-2 squares chocolate almond bark
fall sprinkles
pretzel sticks

Break or cut the top off of each sugar cone (I let my kids bite the tops off since they would be the ones eating them). Chop chocolate almond bark into small pieces and place in a small microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high for about 1 minute, then stir until melted. Dip the rim of each sugar cone in the chocolate and then dip in sprinkles. Place on a cookie sheet covered with plastic wrap. Fill each cone with softened ice cream. Place a dollop of chocolate on the top of the cone and stick 3 pretzel sticks inside (the chocolate will cement them in place once it hardens). Place the tepee's in the freezer until ready to serve.

Halloween Owls

The kids and I made these Hallowen Owls on Monday night. Start with your favorite carmel popcorn recipe (our favorite can be found in the candy section of this blog). Add lifesaver & gumdrop eyes, candy corn beak, fruit roll-up wings and chocolate licorice eyebrows and horns. Very cute and yummy too.

Jaymon's Cinni Minis

Jaymon and I made these mini cinnamon rolls on Saturday morning (Jaymon did most of the work). He was so excited to share his culinary masterpiece that he woke everyone up to come and eat.

1 tube crescent rolls

3-4 T. butter, melted

1/3 cup brown sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1-2 capfuls of milk

Open crescent rolls, but don't separate them. Flour your work surface and lay out the rolls in one big rectangle, pinching the seams to seal. Roll dough with a rolling pin until smooth. Brush with butter. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. Spread all over the top. Roll up and cut into small rolls. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for about 5-8 mnutes or until lightly golden brown. Mix powdered sugar and milk and stir until glaze is formed. Start with 1 capful of milk, then add another if glaze is too thick. Drizzle glaze on rolls.
