Simply Super Crescent Cinnamon Rolls
On Saturday, I made some cinnamon rolls using Pillsbury crescent dough and everyone loved them! They were super easy to make and really quite tasty. As you can see in the picture above, they look pretty tasty as well!
Click HERE for the Simply Super Crescent Cinnamon Rolls recipe on Pillsbury.com.
Basically, you just roll out 1/2 the crescent dough, top it with the sugar, butter and nuts (I used walnuts), then top it with the other half of the dough. Then cut into long strips, twist them and then coil them and then bake. The twisting part is a little messy, but it's worth it!
I cut the sugar down to 1/2 cup total, cut the butter by about a tablespoon and used 1/2 cup of walnuts instead of 2/3 cup. Even with less of everything, they were still very buttery and sweet. I may cut the sugar and butter down even more the next time I make them. They are not a very healthy treat so I won't be making these every week. But they sure hit the spot on Saturday!

- egg salad sandwiches on homemade bread
- steak, salad, garlic bread
- veggie/beef/barley soup
- burgers, broccoli, and "junk food pasta" - my homemade knockoff version of the old Noodle Roni Noodles Romanoff
- some kind of pasta concoction with kale (got a huge bunch at FL for $1). I'm thinking either carbonara which is bacon and egg or scampi with some shimp I have in the freezer.
- lasagna?? I have everything in the house to make it after last weeks discussion, the sale/coupon for ricotta at HT, and HT brand shredded cheese BOGO. Barilla no-boil lasagna noodles were also on sale at HT 3/$5.
Faye, those cinnamon rolls sound awesome, and it was all I could do to ignore the cans of crescent rolls at HT this afternoon. Gotta save room for the napoleons I made yesterday hahahahaha ;)

Lisa - thanks for responding to foodgirl about the app. :-)
Thanks to everyone for sharing your menus this week. I had planned to put lasagna on the menu (after the chat we had about it last week, as jdouglas mentioned) but I am waiting until it gets a little cooler again.
jdouglas - napoleons are a good substitute for cinnamon buns. :-)
kat - your Feta and spinach stuffed chicken cutlets sounds great!
