Veggie Chicken Wraps

By: Trisha

8 oz. Spreadable Cream Cheese (any flavor)
4 Flour Tortillas
2 C. Shredded Romaine
2 Small Tomatoes, thinly sliced
8 Slices Provolone Cheese
1 Red Onion, thinly sliced
2 C. Grilled Chicken, cut into slices

Spread Cream Cheese evenly on each Tortilla, spread to about 1/2" close to the edge. Layer Romaine, Tomatoes, Cheese, Onion and Chicken. Roll up tightly and cut in half.

These are surprisingly good! And pretty easy to make. They store well for left overs! I haven't used the measurements because I make 3 Chicken Breasts and fill all the tortillas that I can. My kids also LOVE this dinner.

Cream Shortening and Sugar. Add Eggs and Buttermilk. Mix in Flour, Baking Soda and Salt. Combine this mixture with the cereal mixture.

Cinnamon Rolls

By: Trisha

From: allrecipes.com

Dough:

1 C. Milk

1/2 C. Butter

1 C. Water

1 T. Yeast

1 C. White Sugar

1 t. Salt

2 Eggs

6 C. Flour

Filling:

2 t. ground Cinnamon

2 C. Brown Sugar

1/2 C. Butter, melted

Glaze:

2 C. Powdered Sugar

3 oz. Cream Cheese, softened

1 T. Butter, softened

1/2 t. Vanilla

3 T. Milk

Warm milk on stove or in microwave until it bubbles. Remove from heat and mix in Butter. Stir until melted. Add water, and cool until lukewarm.

In large bowl combine the milk mixture with Yeast, White Sugar, Salt, Eggs, and 2 Cups of Flour. Stir well. Stir in remaining Flour 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, put on floured counter and knead until smooth and elastic.

In a separate bowl stir together Cinnamon and Brown Sugar.

Divide dough into two equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rectangle (12 x 9 size). Glaze with 1/2 the melted butter, then add half the Brown Sugar mixture. Smooth around to all areas. Roll up dough, so you have a long roll of dough. Seal the edge with water or remaining butter. Cut each roll into 12 pieces (or to whatever thickness you want). Use a sharp knife or dental floss to cut dough rolls.

Place rolls into 2 greased 9 X 13 baking pans. Cover and let rise until almost doubled.

Bake at 375 for 20-25 minutes.

For Glaze: Combine Powdered Sugar, Cream Cheese, Butter and Vanilla. Add Milk gradually until frosting can be spread. Put on warm Cinnamon Rolls.

My family loves these rolls! I don't use all the melted butter, if I do then the cinnamon mixture runs out when they are in the pan. Watch to make sure the middle rolls get cooked, but the outside ones don't burn. Enjoy!
