Cinnamon Roll Muffins

These babies have only 5 ingredients and they are things you probably always have laying around your house!

Warning: I do not measure! I only measure the first time I make something and then I am more of an eye-baller. So if you like things to be exact, this is not the recipe for you... sorry!

First you need about 1/2 a stick of butter melted

1 can of biscuits, I usually use Pillsbury Homestyle

A little bowl of cinnamon sugar (you can buy this or mix it up yourself)


Take each biscuit circle and rip it into four equal pieces. Roll the little pieces into a ball and dip them in the butter, then roll the buttered dough in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Place all four small circles into one muffin tin section. Continue these steps until you are finished.

One can of biscuits makes 8 muffins.


Place in a 350 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes.

While they are baking simply mix together the last two ingredients. Milk and powdered sugar! (You can also add vanilla or almond extract for extra deliciousness) You want the icing to be pretty runny so it will get in the cracks of the muffin!

When the muffins are done, pour the icing over immediately! Trust me, it needs to be done this way.

Give them about 5 minutes to be bearable to eat and then devour!

We eat these a lot in our house hold! So easy and so delicious!

Finding Time For Me

Two months.

Just looked, and that's how long it has been since I last posted. And guess what... I haven't missed it one bit, until now.

This Summer was the easiest and most laid back Summer of my life. I did not work, other than teaching two weeks of Summer school which was easy money. So my days were spent laying around binge watching Netflix, being fanned and fed grapes straight from the vine (okay so the last two didn't happen but it felt like it). Not only was my Summer so easy, but I even got to soak up an entire week in South Carolina on the beach.

 Rough life, huh?

Summer was basically three months long of "me time". I got bored of doing whatever I wanted whenever I wanted and began to crave structure and schedules. I didn't want to blog because that was usually a treat and I was treating myself all the time.









Well things have changed now that I am back at school and teaching 19 rowdy fourth graders everyday. My beach view has changed to this...

So now that I spending my weekdays from 7:30-5:00 in an little room full of 10-year-olds, I am ready again for some "me-time"

I actually started to crave it again. I am not one who has ever defined "me-time" as getting my nails done or going to a spa or even shopping ( I like shopping, but on a beginning teacher's salary that is not always plausible). I am such a homebody that I want my enjoyment to be had in my own house. I made a list of the things I want to do more of in the evenings. 

<< Reading >>  I love to read but I have always seen it as a "treat" and I usually read the least in the summers. Luckily I just picked up a great new book that I am already hooked on and spent over an hour reading yesterday! It is just so relaxing to get lost in a good book.

<< Blogging >> Sometimes I feel embarrassed about my blog, like I am trying to be way cooler than I really am and people will think I am searching for attention. In all honesty, not that many people read this thing. My mom and sister are my biggest fans and so I write with them in mind! But more than that, I enjoy it! I have always liked writing and I don't get to do it much anymore, except for on here. I also love that when I am older or at a different stage in my life, I can look back and read these posts!

<< DIY >> I am not a crafty person at all, I get very little joy out of making a card from scrapbook paper, or deco-paging (spelling?)  little jars. I do however like to undertake larger projects around the house. I recently got the idea to redo our entire kitchen table. I plan on staining it, reupholstering the chairs and possibly even painting the base. I have redone quite a bit of furniture in our house and I really enjoy it. So i am excited to take on this project, even if it means eating at the living room coffee table for a while!

<< Breakfast >> This one might seem odd, but I love having a nice sit-down breakfast. Every morning I grab a granola bar, apple, or something terrible for me and eat it in the car on the way to work. It just makes me feel even more rushed and isn't the best way to begin my day. I want to start waking up just 10-15 minutes earlier so that I have time to make something and sit down and enjoy it!

<< Walking >> I am a bad person and I NEVER work-out. I literally have not exercised (intentionally) in about two years. I know that is not good and I need to do it before my awesome metabolism (thanks dad!) goes to pot. I hate running and I don't want to go to a gym where there are strangers, I do however love to go on walks and take Kira with me. It is way too hot in the Summer to go and Fall is my favorite season so I plan on taking Kira every evening after work now that the air is crisp!

I may have days or even weeks where I don't have the time to do any of these things. The Hubs and I are crazy-busy right now, not only with work but numerous extra projects we have taken on. I will however, make an extra effort to fit these "me-time" activities into my day and hopefully it will bring some much needed balance and bliss to my life!

Breakfast Braid

I woke up early Saturday morning and really felt like cooking up something special for breakfast. By special I mean something other than a cereal bar or pop tart! So I looked on my Pinterest boards and found something I had been wanting to make for a while! 

Breakfast Braid!

{Pinned Here}

It was very simple, quick and delicious! 

Here is a shot of what you will need. 

1 container of crescent roll dough

real bacon bits

4 eggs

1 tbsp milk

salt and pepper, to taste

2-3 tbsp shredded cheese

1 tbsp green onion, sliced

<<Directions>>

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Knead crescent rolls together into a ball and let sit for 15 minutes.

Start by scrambling 4 eggs,1 tablespoon of milk, and salt and pepper until just done and fluffy. 

When eggs are done, set aside and roll out crescent dough into a rectangle shape. 

Sprinkle half the cheese, some bacon and green onion on rolled out dough.

Add eggs, then top with remaining cheese, onion and bacon bits. 

Make even cuts on extra side dough and "braid".

Place in oven for 13-15 minutes. 

When done, let set out for 3 minutes before cutting and serving!

Eat and enjoy!

Let me know if you try this and what you think!
