Fall Cinnamon & Sugar Cut Outs

September 17, 2018

It’s mid-September and the weather has been absolutely gorgeous here in Northern Michigan. We finally have our Indian Summer. I spent much of the weekend at the ice rink looking at friends beach and boat photos but only being outside a few minutes was heaven. I have my fingers crossed that the rest of the week continues to be warm and sunny.

With school being in session I’m always looking a head toward after school snacks and weekends. I love semi-homemade and easy recipes that don’t take a lot of time. If you check out last weeks recipe for Apple Pie Crescents you know I love using crescent rolls! You grab a tube just about anywhere and almost everyone loves them fresh out of the oven. I love that they are super versatile. Using them in recipes like the Apple Pie Crescents, Chicken Pot Pie Crescent Rolls and Pizza Roll Crescent Pinwheels make bland every day meals a little more fun and appealing. My kids will eat just about anything wrapped in a warm and yummy crescent roll, so no complaints here!
