2 pkgs. cream cheese

1 cup sugar

1 T. lemon juice

1 T. vanilla flavoring

Press out 1 pkg. of crescent rolls in a 13x9 inch dish.  Press all seams together.  Mix the cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla together until creamy.  Spread over crescent rolls.  Place the 2nd package of crescent rolls over the spread.  Place in oven and cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

4 T. milk

Stir together and pour over crescent rolls while warm. 

This is right after it came out of the oven

Super yummy danish :)

I'm assuming this is just common sense which apparently I was lacking the other day.  But when using crescent rolls or any dough for that fact it's better if it stays in the fridge until you need it.  I got carried away the other day and left ours out.  When I went to use it I had an awful time trying to unroll sticky gooey dough.  :)  Live and learn right?

Cube Steak and Gravy Crock Pot Style

I'm not a girl for cooking steak and gravy on the stove.  To me it's never tender enough or it tastes burnt.  Well about 2 years ago my aunt sent me some recipes that were simple.  I immediately made some dip that was fantastic (I'll have to blog about it later) but I never made anything else in the email.  Well Friday I came across the email again and decided to give it a try. 

Cube Steak & Gravy-Crock Pot Style

4 pcs. cube steak
1 envelope of brown gravy mix
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1 cup of water

Flour Steak and brown quickly on stove.  Mix chicken soup, gravy mix, and water-put in crock pot.  When steaks are browned add them too.  Cook on low 5 hours. 

Here is our steaks floured and ready to go in the hot oil

Browning them quickly

I served ours with biscuits, mashed potatoes, and mac and cheese, and I used our finest china Ha!

Think maybe I should rename this Fool Proof steak and gravy.  It was super simple and very yummy!



Tea Cakes

I saw a post the other day about tea cakes here and made me think...hmmm I should do my favorite recipe for Tea Cakes.  These are tried and true...the best recipe ever if you ask me, Chris, my dad, or any of our neighbors that we've taken them too.  This is super simple to make and oh so yummy. 

Hazel Jone's Tea Cakes

2 eggs

2/3 cup oil

3/4 cup sugar

2 cups self rising flour

2 teaspoons vanilla flavoring

Beat eggs, add sugar, and oil.  Add flour (small amounts at a time).  Add vanilla, mix.  Drop small amounts on a greased Cookie Sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees til light brown.   I think they are better warm...and I like the batter too!



Here is the dough ready to be dropped!



I use a rubber baking mat (makes for easier clean-up and I don't have to use pam)!



Best Tea Cakes Ever!




All packaged up and ready to deliver to our neighbors :)

Just a little side note...if you are taking your child with you to deliver cookies/sweets to your neighbors be sure to take them a bag of the same sweets too, if not your child I might eat all of the goodies before getting there.  I know from experience :)
