My husband loves food!  I mean he REALLY loves food!  And his taste is gourmet.  One of his favorite channels is the Food Network.  But he is also a creature of habit.  So, change is hard.  This is a man who orders the exact same things at a restaurant every time.  Yep.
So, he knows the foods that he loves.  And it's always a risk to mix things up.  So, when I was making this "new" dessert.  There was a lot of grumbling going on.  "Just make those cookies that I love!  Why do you have to do something different?" he says.
I pushed through and completed my food project.  Once it was complete, I dished up for me and my 3 little ones.  We devoured and thoroughly enjoyed.
Then later, when I was getting ready for bed, I heard him rummaging around in the kitchen.  A few minutes later, he shuffles into the bedroom and proclaims: "That was actually really good! I'm sorry!"
Score!  I did it!  I've successfully added another food to his repertoire.  I have made it since, and he still likes it.  Gold star for me!
Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:
-2 cans pillsbury butter crescent rolls
-2 (8oz) packages cream cheese (softened)
-1 cup sugar
-1 teaspoon vanilla
-1/4 cup butter (melted)
-Cinnamon & sugar

Instructions:
Unroll and spread 1 can crescent rolls on bottom of un-greased pan. Combine softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. Spread mixture over crescent rolls. Unroll and spread remaining crescent rolls over mixture. Spread melted butter over the top and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.


 
It's a crowd pleaser! My pan is licked clean everytime.

Freckles

My Grandma Ila used to call them "angel kisses". She said it meant that there were lots of angels looking out for me. The more days I live, the more kisses I have to show for them. And yet, I've still got more to spare.
These 3 little angels are a piece of me. Each of their little noses are dusted with Angel Kisses. And as my Grandmother watches from heaven, I know they are kisses from her.
