More baking......... :)



Ok - I might be going overboard for me with the baking but with the schools closed today and it being 27 degrees this morning it was a perfect morning for experimenting with a new recipe I found! :)


So... here it is: Chocolate-Cherry-Cream Cheese Cinnamon Rolls
its from a yummy looking Southern Living Magazine I splurged on for myself!

Now- dried cherries - did not have any and the recipe came out super anyway but I can imagine that the cherries would have been divine in this recipe - and may stock up on them next time I am at the store. :)

This recipe calls for the frozen biscuits instead of making your own dough - (pretty cool) makes it very easy! I guess it's one of those 'semi-homemade' recipes :)

After the biscuits thawed we were to roll them/pat/squish them together to make a rectangle of the dough. Then slather them with the 80z package of cream cheese. (Patrick did not like the cream cheese) Had to make him some cereal for breakfast... this is normal for 'the boy'.
After the cream cheese came the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture...ooh smelled so yummy while baking. :)

Rachel was my helper and then she took over the camera when I was cutting the rolls.
Oh - don't forget the chocolate chips! The recipe called for a CUP of chocolate chips!

WoW - finished product! IT was wonderful - definitely a keeper recipe! Oh My - that's all I can say.. they were wonderful I had a big glass of milk and children had hot chocolate... nice way to start the cold, cold morning!


Oops forgot - we did a powder sugar/milk icing on top - it was wonderful pouring it over the top of the hot cinnamon rolls.
