Cinnamon Crescent Rolls

This morning, we were hungry but wanted to make some thing that was quick.
Cinnamon Crescent Rolls were the answer.

These were super easy to make and we already had all of the necessary ingredients in our house.
All you need is:

1 can crescent rolls
1/2 stick butter
1/4 white or brown sugar ( we used white )
1 tablespoon of cinnamon

For the yummy sweet glaze you will need
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons milk

Melt the butter in a microwave safe bowl, add sugar and cinnamon and stir. I mix this with a fork to make sure all the sugar clumps get broken up good.
Once your have your sweet concoction, layout your crescent rolls on a cookie sheet and slather them with the sweet sticky goodness you just created and roll them up as demonstrated by the Alexander below.




Once everything is wrapped and rolled and ready to go, pop them in the oven and bake at 350* for 12-15 minutes. (We baked ours for 12).

While the rolls are baking start mixing up your sweet glaze topping.
Put the powdered sugar, vanilla and milk in a bowl and whisk until it is nice and smooth.




When your rolls are all done baking, pull them out, let them cool for a few minutes then drizzle with glaze and enjoy!



If you want to make a double batch of this you can just double the first list of ingredients, you should not need to make additional glaze as we had plenty left over by making a single batch and we smothered them with it!

Happy baking!

Anger Management

Lately we have been experiencing some anger issues with Alexander.  I am not talking about your normal every day almost four year old tantrum.  I am talking about serious anger issues like punching, kicking, slamming himself against thinks, screaming, throwing….you name it.

I am at a loss as to what to do with him to discipline him anymore.  Nothing seems to work.  I have already taken away his toys, time-outs don’t work and spanking him doesn’t get us anywhere.

I am at my wits end and so it Alex.

This is not something that I have dealt with before.

Right now I am working on setting up an award chart to see if that will help at all but I am definitely open to any ideas you may have!

Please share!!!

It’s either we nip this in the butt or I am going to start drinking…..A LOT!
