Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll Ups

YES they are just as delicious as the name describes. So what sparked my interest to try these? Sometimes I go into my fridge, find little leftovers of stuff that I hate throwing out and then find recipes where I can use them. I HATE throwing away food. 1. Its wasteful and 2. Its like flushing money down the toilet. I'm all for not being wasteful. :) It seems like anytime that a recipe doesn't call for the whole thing of cream cheese I end up throwing it away. So I had a morning off, leftover cream cheese, and Pintrest. It all lead to this recipe. 

 Just check out that golden brown, deliciousness.

So this is all you need. Sugar, powdered sugar, cream cheese, butter, cinnamon, and bread. I have all of this on hand normally (except the cream cheese) so that's what makes this recipe perfect!

Cut off all the crusts of the bread. I recommend just doing this to a few pieces of bread at a time. The recipe I found calls for a whole loaf of bread, but no way do I see the filling covering that many pieces.

Next feed the crusts to your dogs. Remember, don't be wasteful!

Dash gets a little crazy when it comes to food. haha

Oh you don't have a dog? I'm sorry that must suck. You can go get one! There are tons out there that want a loving family. Check out your local shelter or look online. People give away dogs all the time. We found our little Walter on Facebook! :)

Ok after the crusts are cut off use a rolling pin and smash each piece.

Combine cream cheese and powdered sugar then set aside.

Mix sugar and cinnamon together and set aside. I used a plate because you roll them in it. A plate is easier than a bowl in this instance.

 Spread some of the cream cheese mixture on a piece of bread.

Roll it up

Get your rolling station all set up. If you haven't done it yet, get your butter melted!

Roll one in the melted butter.

Then roll in cinnamon sugar mixture.

Repeat until your done! Put in a 350 degree oven for 16-20 minutes.

 Done! Super easy. Super delicious. The best part is you will only want to eat 1 or 2 of these. They aren't too sweet, but will satisfy any sweet tooth you may have!

Chefs and bakers seriously have the best job. They get to try new recipes and eat food all day. So lucky!
