Cinnamon Cream Cheese Crescents

The last week or so I have had a real bad hankering for sweets. Like really bad. So the other night after dinner, while searching for something sweet to munch on I thought these up.  Well I'm sure someone else on the interwebs have already made these, but I'd like to think that my non-creative self had invented something.  

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Crescents

8 oz Tube of Crescents Rolls

4 Oz Cream Cheese

1/2 Cup Sugar

1 tsp Cinnamon

3 Tbsp Butter or Margarine, Melted

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  Unroll Crescents.  In a small bowl mix together cinnamon and sugar.  Cut the cream cheese into 8 small sections.  Roll cream cheese in cinnamon sugar mixture and lay at the large end of the crescent.  Roll crescent up, pinching edges to seal.  Some of mine ended looking for like balls.  Pour melted butter into remaining sugar mixture and brush over rolls.  Bake for 11-13 minutes.

Cinnamon Maple Vanilla Pancakes

A short and sweet post today.

I created these gems awhile ago while looking for a good, but not plain pancakes recipe.  They quickly became a favorite in the family with a great combinations of flavors.  This recipe makes a quite a few with 5 people to feed and its always nice to have leftovers the next day for breakfast but can easily be cut in half if your looking to make for less people.

2 1/2 Cups All Purpose Flour

3 1/2 tsp Baking Powder

1 tsp Salt

2 tsp Sugar

2 tsp Cinnamon

2 Cups Milk

4 Eggs

2 tsp Vanilla Extract

2 tsp Maple Extract

Oil or Butter for Cooking

Heat a skillet over medium and coat with oil or butter.  Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar and cinnamon.  In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, and extracts.  Add the the wet to the dry stirring until combined.  Using 1/4 Cup measuring cup pour batter onto skillet, flip when bubbles start to form on the edges, browning both sides.
