Yummy for My Tummy

First of all, I need to mention my new design my friend, Faith did for me. I know I've had more than a few new designs, but what can I say, I'm a girl who likes change. I love it so much! If you're looking for a new design, you should click here. Faith is the best.

Now, for some recipes.

Both of these recipes are from Paula Deen's Cookbook for the Lunch Box Set.

It's actually a kid's cookbook, so I bought it for E. Let's just say we're both enjoying it.

We finally polished off the last of the breakfast cheesecake. So delicious.

Breakfast Cheesecake

2 Cans 8-count crescent rolls
1 16oz. block of cream cheese
1 1/2 cups Sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 stick butter
2 tsps. cinnamon

Spray 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray. Open one can of crescent rolls and lay on bottom of dish so they make one large rectangle (pushing sides together).

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, 1 cup sugar and vanilla. Mix well with electric mixer. Using rubber spatula, spread over crescent rolls.

Open second can of crescent rolls and lay over cream cheese so they make one large rectangle.

Melt stick of butter in microwave. Mix with 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon with a spoon. Using the spoon, sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly over the top of the casserole.

(Here is where the recipe says to cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight. We were too impatient and cooked it immediately.)

Bake at 350 degrees (uncovered) for 30-35 minutes.

Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon Tortillas

1 lb. Strawberries
2 kiwis, peeled
2 Golden Delicious Apples, peeled
1 Tbs. sugar
1 Tbs. brown sugar
1 Tbs. frozen limeade concentrate
1 pkg. 8 inch flour tortillas
Cinnamon sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Finely chop the strawberries, apples and kiwis by hand. You can use a food processor, but make sure to use the pulse button. You do not want puree.

Place the fruit in a medium bowl. Stir in sugar, brown sugar and limeade concentrate. Cover and keep refrigerated until ready to serve, no more than 4 hours.

Use a pair of kitchen shears to cut each tortilla into eighths. Lightly brush each one with water. (This is the part I would do different next time. Al though they were delicious, I would brush with butter - because everything is better with butter. Hey, that's a Paula Deen quote, isn't it?).

Sprinkle tortilla pieces with cinnamon sugar. Back on a cookie sheet for 10 minutes. (I'm telling you, when the first batch came out of the oven, O had them eaten before the next ones were done).

Serve with fruit salsa. Yum!
