It’s COLD!!!  Here in the deep south that means lows in the 20’s and highs in the 40’s. 

That should make me excited about Christmas, but it doesn’t.  I want warm hot summer temps in the 90’s.  I want to only worry about wearing shorts and t-shirts and flip flops.  If Alabama got real snow, maybe I could like winter a little bit.  But we don’t; we only get to freeze to death and wait for Spring to come.

This is one of those easy-to-throw-together things that you can make with things usually kept on hand.  I had these ready for my kids in 30 mintues today when they got home from school with nice warm mugs of hot cocoa. 

Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Icing

1 can of crescent dough (the big fat ones, not the small ones)

Cinnamon

Sugar

Butter

1/2 box confectioner’s sugar

3 tbsp milk, (you may need a little more)

1/2 block cream cheese, softened

Heat oven to 350.  On a cookie sheet, seperate the perforated dough.  Preparing one crescent at  a time, spread butter over the top, then sprinkle cinnamon and sugar. 

Roll into a crescent shape.  Repeat with the remaining dough.  Bake for about 10 minutes, or until slightly golden brown on the top.

While the rolls are baking, mix the cream cheese and confectioner’s sugar together until combined.  Add milk and mix a minute or two more.  You should have an icing that’s formed, but not too thick. 

Pour the icing over the cinnamon rolls and let sit for about 5 minutes.

Stay Warm!
