Happy New Year!

We've already enjoyed five days of 2014 and here in Long Island, we had our first blizzard. We got about 11" in my area, but it was that really soft fluffy snow so it was easy to shovel.


It's been frigid to say the least so I have been spending a lot of time in the kitchen. I go back to work tomorrow so I started my freezer meals over the break. Some of my favorites are ones I can throw in the slow cooker. All of the ingredients are raw and put into a ziplock. I made several chicken and beef dishes. These will be great on these cold winter days!

On our snow day, I wanted to turn the oven on for breakfast. I wasn't in the mood for eggs so I scoured Pinterest for ideas and found cinnamon buns! I had all of the ingredients so I went to work. My ingredients:
1 can of crescent rolls (I used reduced fat Pillsbury)
1/3 cup of brown sugar
2 T of butter (melted)
2 t of cinnamon

I preheated the oven to the temp listed on the dough container. I opened up the dough and rolled it out onto a cutting board. I pinched together all the perforated seams. In a bowl, I mixed together the butter, sugar and cinnamon, then spread it across the dough. I rolled the dough into a tube with the cinnamon sugar mixture on the inside. Using a sharp knife, I sliced the dough into 8 pieces. In a greased dish, I arranged the sliced dough and placed it in the oven. 

The buns baked for about 14 minutes. I let them cool a few minutes before using a spatula to remove the buns. I decided not to ice the buns and keep it a little lighter. They were delicious and sweet enough on their own!
