I'll Just Call Them Jalapeno Cream Cheese Rotellas

My friend Lauren makes these yummy rolled up snacks when we have gatherings at her house and last week I finally asked her what she used in them! I was in the mood for them. I never asked what she calls them or if there was already a name for them so I made up my own, haha!

Any ways it's just:
  • One 8oz brick of cream cheese
  • some diced jalapenos [I bought a jar & used a couple spoonfuls]
  • Some diced green onions
  • Tortillas

I then bought everything I needed then had to ask her how she mixed it, haha! Wasn't sure if she just put it in a bowl or used a mixer. She just said a bowl, mixer would be easier if you're in a hurry, if not let the cream cheese soften up some.

Then just put the mixture on a tortilla and roll it up. I did that and swore it wasn't big enough, so looked online, haha, yep I'm that dork ;) I actually only used half a brick this time since it was just me who was going to eat them and she said she usually used 5 tortillas for these.

Lauren told me after you roll them its easier to cut them if you put them in the fridge for a little, so I did that for maybe an hour max, I can't remember I've been cleaning up the house for Thanksgiving =P They cut very easily that way though and they were de-lish! :) 

I'm not sure if my husband liked it, he ate one bite and didn't have more, but he was also playing a game an already ate dinner before hand. But our 2 & 1/2 year old daughter loved them! I thought they were a touch spicy for me so I thought there's no way she'd like them, but she kept asking for more =P



Well that's all, just wanted to share a quick and easy recipe I learned :)

Pumpkin Cookies

A couple years ago my grandmother gave me an easy recipe for pumpkin cookies. Well I called her yesterday asking how to bake them and as we talked I found out I had it written down, haha, oh well it's always nice to talk to my grandma :)

So the recipe, all you need is spice cake mix and 1 can of pumpkin

  • mix ONLY cake mix and pumpkin
  • GREASE cookie sheet - or if you use stoneware like I did, then nothing, it worked fine:)
  • I used an ice cream scoop, my grandmother uses a small cookie scoop - I need to get one of them some day =P I got 30 cookies out of it
  • Bake at 350
  • Bake for about 15 minutes, keep an eye on it and you may need to change it, since I used stoneware mine were more around 18 minutes

And that's it :)
