8 Minute Mini Cinnamon Rolls

Yep, I saw this on Pinterest and just had to try it :)
They turned out pretty good! Although I didn't have a mini-cupcake pan, so I just used my regular one (and cut the dough rolls into 6 pieces, instead of the suggested 8).
Anyways, enjoy!

Ingredients:

1-8oz tube crescent roll dough

2 Tablespoons butter

cinnamon

brown sugar

For the maple icing:

1 teaspoon maple syrup

1 Tablespoon skim milk

3/4 cup powdered sugar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven according to crescent roll dough package directions. Layout half the dough (4 triangles) and pinch all the seams together. Flip over and pinch the seams on the back side together too.

2. Using a rolling pin, smooth the seams and roll the dough into a square about 1/4″ thick. Brush with half the butter, and sprinkle with as much cinnamon and brown sugar as you want. Roll into a log and cut into 8 pieces.

3. Place mini cinnamon rolls into a non-stick sprayed mini muffin tin. Repeat steps 1 and 2 with the other half of the crescent roll dough. Bake according to package directions.

4. Meanwhile whisk together maple syrup and milk in a bowl. Add in powdered sugar until desired consistency is reached. Drizzle over warm cinnamon rolls.

Chicken Alfredo Pizza

Yay for my first post.  Sorry I have been out of it.  I made this tonight and it was sooo yummy.  We ate all but one piece.  It is also supposed to be verily healthy (I guess as far as pizza goes).

• 2 1/4 T quick-rise yeast
• 1 cup warm water 
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1-1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
• 2-1/2 all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced (Or 1 T Garlic Powder)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 4-1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
• 1-1/2 cups 2% milk
• 3 cups cubed cooked chicken breasts
• 2 large tomatoes, chopped
• 2 cups chopped fresh baby spinach
• 4 cups (16 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Directions

• In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 2-1/2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. (dough will be sticky).
• Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle flour over two 12-in. pizza pans coated with cooking spray. Divide dough in half. On a floured surface, roll each portion into a 13-in. circle. Transfer to prepared pans. Build up edges slightly. Prick dough thoroughly with a fork; brush with oil. Bake at 425° for 5 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
• In a small saucepan, saute garlic in butter until tender. Stir in the parsley, pepper and remaining salt. Combine flour and milk until smooth. Stir into pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened.
• Spread over crusts; top with chicken, tomatoes, spinach, cheeses and Italian seasoning. Bake 10-12 minutes longer or until crusts are lightly browned and cheeses are melted. Yield: 2 pizzas (6 slices each).
