Life Away From The Office Chair

Here I go again with the sweet tooth. I am never gonna get further than five days of dieting. I also hate myself for it too. I'm defiantly gonna have to ground myself from sweets soon. I want to loose 30 lbs by Aug. I could use any help from my reader that I can get.

But first let me introduce you to this sweet little treat. No, I didn't eat them all.....

yet.

But of course they have only been out of the oven for twenty minutes.

I tried one.

Just one.

One was enough....til tomorrow. Ok, no. I'm not going to have any more. I will let my daughter and her friends eat them up.

I'm calling them Cream Cheese Churros. My daughter said they remind her of churros so churros they are. These sweet little cream puffs are made out of loaf bread. Really! Loaf bread.

Here is how you do it.

Cream Cheese Churros
Mix in a bowl, 1 cup of sugar and 8 oz cream cheese. (set aside)
In another bowl, mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon and pour onto a plate.
In another bowl, melt 1/4 cup of butter.

Grab about 20 pieces of loaf bread and roll each piece with a rolling pin until thin. You can take the crust off you want to. I left mine on. The crust is healthy....

wait does that mean I'm eating healthy? yes!.

Ok now spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture on the bread, roll it up tight, roll in the butter, then roll in the Cinnamon mixture.
Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Wow just look at that!

They are great plain or you can do like me and add strawberries and sugar free cool whip. Yes I use sugar free cool whip all the time now. You will never know its not got sugar in it. I Love it.

For a more healthy snack, just omit the Churro!

As I was cleaning the junk room, aka office/craft room. I noticed a bulletin board my daughter used in college which we actually purchased from a thrift store. I didn't like it therefore it was just cluttering the room even more. So, I decided to give it a little up do. I was feeling crafty.

I took the frame off and it was a perfect piece of cork board.

I had my husband cut it into fours. I was not sure if I wanted it cut in half or in fours but since four pieces was my original thought, I went with it.

I purchased some cloth from the local craft store and began my creation. It took all of about 30 minutes from start to finish to complete.

Here are the items you need:

cork board
cloth (size depends on the project)
ruler
sharp blade to cut the cork board
regular stapler
picture hangers

That's all! It was really easy and I love how it turned out.
