Creating Cozy~ Crescent Roll Cheesecake

Happy Friday! I had to do a 6-month checkup yesterday. I received some good news, but there are also some areas I need to improve. While I was there, I decided to work on a habit I have been trying to practice, which is using my time wisely and being less on my phone when I am waiting for things.

I am finishing up a book for my summer Christian Lady Book Club that I am hosting, and tonight is our final summer meet up. I will do a review on it soon! It was super good! It really ministered to my heart.    

Ohhhhhh........ Check out my bookmark! I started diamond painting this year. I love it. I made this bookmark in July. My mom has gotten me hooked. I have already created some beautiful things. She thought I might like it to help with my EMPTY NESTING. HAHA!!! Well, she was right. 

                                                      

                                                        Do you like Magazines??? 

One of my favorite things I have been loving this past year is magazines.  They are almost a thing of the past BUT I'm aiming to keep them alive. HAHA! I have so many fond memories of my mom and granny having them on their coffee tables and stuffed in little reading baskets. My mom will fill a little basket for me when I come to visit. It means so much.  Here are a couple of my favorite current reads.

I love Bella Grace, Willow & Sage, Tea Time and Victoria.  AND yes, I like some of the older cheesy ones like Woman's World or First (something like that 😉) because these are the ones my mom had, and I remember always flipping through them.

                      

                                                               CREATING COZY

I was aiming for a cozy day after my appointments and errands. I love to listen to soft relaxing instrumental music. It was cooler today and so I decided to bake a dessert for my ladies book club meeting. There is nothing like soft music or jazz playing while I bake and cook! 

Do you like to listen to music, podcasts, or audio books when you are doing things?? I sometimes like just the QUIET, but usually when I bake and especially if I am craving cozy, then soft music it is!

You will read a lot about the love and creating of COZY and HYGGE Moments on this blog!!!  It is really a love language of mine. 😉 I have created my own love language and COZY is it!!!!!!!!

Doesn't this picture speak COZY?? I love COZY things. I think any time of year can be COZY. Even in the summer season. A lot of people think of fall and winter when they hear cozy. But COZY to me is a lifestyle. You can create it at any time, place, and season. Oh.....I just love the idea of COZY!!!!!

                                                        Crescent Roll Cheesecake

                                             2 cans of crescent rolls

                                             2 room temp blocks of cream cheese

                                             1 cup of sugar

                                             2 tsp vanilla

                                             1/4 cup melted butter

                                             cinnamon and sugar mix (I created a little in a bowl)  

Preheat oven to 350* 

Spray a 9 by 13 pan with cooking spray

Press one of the cans of crescent rolls flat on the bottom of the pan 

Combine the sugar, cream cheese, vanilla and beat until creamy and fluffy. I used a KitchenAid mixer but any mixer will work

Spread this mixture on top of the crescent rolls and then layer the other can of crescent roll on top of that gently. Take the melted butter and gently brush the top with the butter and then sprinkle the cinnamon and sugar mixture on top. Bake 25-30 minutes. 

Let it cook for 30 minutes and serve up!

*I cannot take credit for creating this recipe. I have been making it for YEARS. I believe the first time I made it was in 2010 for an event. There are tons of recipes similar or identical floating around. I just know it by heart. 

I highly recommend adding strawberries to the top or mini chocolate chips to the cheese mixture to give it a little fun. 

I hope you all have wonderful weekend ahead!!

Blessings,
