Heavenly Crescent Rolls

Nov 5, 2009 In NaBloPoMo, Not a Foodie

A few weeks ago I discovered that my four-pack of crescent rolls had gotten defrosted. The plan had been to defrost the tubes as I needed them, but this accelerated those plans a little. I know if I only made one tube I’d forget about the others until it was too late. I hate wasting food like that.

I didn’t want 4 tubes of the same rolls though. That gets boring and you can’t eat that many in one sitting. I know, I’ve tried. I was sorry. Very sorry. For like 3 days sorry.

These things were so delicious. I saw them sitting in the fridge screaming at me. Actually they said, “Hey we’d be great with caramel or strawberry jam!” I followed the regular directions on the package, but before rolling them up I stuffed them full of different goodness.

I know you’re probably asking if I ate all of these myself. I did not. Same mistake twice and all. I actually brought them in to my 9am class figuring/hoping starving college students would help me out. Between my two classes and officemates they were gone by the end of the day.

Snickerdoodles

Oct 22, 2009 In Not a Foodie

It’s pretty much a given that I bake every weekend in the fall. I’m probably preparing for the Great Bake. While I’m not big into the Christmas holiday it is an excellent excuse to bake loads of cookies and make other people eat them.

My friend Catherine posted in her blog about an awesome snickerdoodle recipe she found. So, I decided to try it out. I didn’t do a very good job, the cookies are not soft like I expected them to be. Oh, darn! I’ll have to make more cookies. What ever will I do with all these baked goods… ?

The recipe called for whipping the butter. I had never done this before and I think I skimped a little on the whipping. I will have to take out some more aggressions on the poor butter next time I try this. I love the pinch of nutmeg added into the cinnamon sugar and I’ve been making cinn. toast for myself every night the last few nights using the leftovers.

Go visit A Little Life, you won’t be sorry. (Also, her pictures are waaaaaaaay better than mine. I’m too lazy to get out my DSL, it’s always an after thought.)

Squish!
