Fresh Lemon Croissant's 

 These are so delish and takes absolutely no time at all.  I used lemons off our tree or you could also use the lemon juice you froze from your lemons that are in your freezer.  You will however need at least 1-2 actual lemons and you will want the zest.
I am all about easy and if I have to buy the dough, so be it.  I like Pillsbury the best but I am sure any brand will work.
I like to have the Croissant's cold it will be easier to stretch to the correct size and not over stretch.

1 can of Pillsbury Croissant rolls, you can get any size, no flavors
4 oz cream cheese
2 Tbsp granulated sugar, you can use sweetener substitute
2 Tbsp of lemon juice (or 1 ice cube if you have some frozen and thawed) or if you are unable to get lemons you can use 1/4 tsp Lemon Extract, it will have a different taste.
zest of 1/2 lemon

 Icing
Powdered Sugar
Lemon Juice
Lemon Zest

 Roll out and stretch the Croissant's, so they are ready for the filling, especially the skinny end.
Whip cream cheese, sugar/sweetner, Lemon juice and zest in a medium bowl, set aside.

 Place 1-2 Tbsp of cream cheese mixture at the wide end of each croissant and roll, tucking in the edges if possible.  Place on a cookie sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper.

 Mix powdered sugar, lemon juice and zest, set aside.

 Bake as directed on the croissant package or until the rolls are browned. Remove from oven and paint the rolls with some powdered sugar mixture using a pastry brush.  Let cool then drizzle the icing by going from side to side. Now place 1-2 on a dessert plate and enjoy.

Mini Cheesecakes with Apple Caramel Sauce I love making mini cheesecakes as they store really well and you don’t have to worry about eating too much. You can top them with almost anything. This recipe theses cheesecakes will be topped with a velvety fresh apple caramel sauce. I used a mixture of Granny Smith and Red Delicious . I peeled mined but you could leave the skins on the Red Delicious if you prefer. You can do the caramel sauce two different ways. Buy a jar of Smuckers or your favorite brand of caramel sauce or make your own using sugar and butter. I made a sauce for the apples and then used the jarred caramel sauce with it. Once the cheesecakes have cooled you can layer them in a container. I used a large container that held 4 on the bottom placed a piece of parchment paper and then stacked more and so on. I scored the apples separately and left the caramel in the jar until needed. The cheese cakes should be cupcake size. 1cup graham cracker crumbs 3/4 cup macadamia n...
