Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls

CREAM CHEESE CRESCENT ROLLS
This is pretty amazing for a morning with coffee, or milk!
It's also simple and cheap ;) 

All you need are:
2 cans of Pillsbury Crescent rolls
2 (8oz) pkg cream cheese (original) softened 
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 c melted butter (I found that was way too much so I only use half that, which is 2 Tbs)
cinnamon
1 c Sugar
(and if your family likes jelly then a half a jar of jam I used blackberry)



And it all goes into a 9x13 pan

 If only it were that easy :P


Toppings: 
set aside for later

 Put on back in the fridge to keep from getting gushy

 Open one pack of crescent rolls and if you're unlucky like me this will happen and you'll have to do that nerve racking muscle testing pull apart maneuver but however you get it open, just open it. 
 Then lay it out in the pan without separating it.
I finger pressed it against the sides just for my own sake.
 Next to the cream cheese!
I lied, the butter doesn't go with the cream cheese, it goes up with the toppings,
 but I'm not taking the pictures again, so just be happy.
 Put them all into a mixer
except the butter, I lied again...
 
 sine this troublesome butter is being annoying let's just deal with it right now
you're gonna melt it it.
I feel like they lied to me now...

If your microwave desiced to make the butter spit up after 20 seconds of time 
then just stir it up it'll melt the rest on it's own.
Then set this aside with the toppings for later.

The real toppings picture
 
Now, back to the cream cheese! 
Make sure your cream cheese is soft, you can do it with a knife
by just making sure it's easy to cut. 


Or you could just do it my way... 
Note: plain cream cheese isn't the best tasting thing in the world... :(
 mix it altogether
 then, if fate loves you like he does me, this lovely thing will happen to you
take a knife and push it out mostly then put it back down.
 Mix it on a high speed till it looks something like this.
 glop it all into the pan on top of the crescent rolls
 spread it out nice and smooth
add the jelly is you please.
Note: spread it nice and thin, it's easy to let it overpower
then just open the other pack of crescent rolls
 I swear every time...



 careful to keep it somewhat together and lay it over carefully

Then paint it over with the lying melted butter. 

 because mine is half and half I only put cinnamon sugar on half and the half over the jam side is plain sugar. 
Hense the bad farmer's tan.
 
Place it in the oven at 350 for 25 minutes
or until nice and bubbly and brown
 should look something like this:

Then just cut it and dig in! 
kinda messy but amazing!

Cooking Hard? Don't be silly!

So, I'm gonna be totally honest.  I don't like to cook if, one, it's not easy, and two it's not gosh darn good.  I'm no amazing chef.  I simply do what I'm told and hope it comes out well.


And sometimes it just doesn't,...




But that's okay.
 and as Taylor puts it just 


 I honestly think cooking is one of those special things that will be easily lost.  

It's so important, but with all the fast food restaurants now a days it's so much easier to go out and get food than cook it yourself. 



Or maybe you don't think you're good enough.  Well, that's a lie cause, 




Anyway, I'm gonna start putting up some things now about cooking because I think that people should know how easy, fun, and no big deal it is.  If you're a perfectionist you're not gonna like me, but I promise to have lots of pictures of it! 

So, I hope you like my new tab! 

Truly yours,
Belle
