New Food: Sweet Cinnamon Mini Crescent Rolls

Like many teens, James likes donuts (glazed, occasional treats) and cinnamon rolls (Starbucks, when on vacation and special weekend treats) for breakfast.

Unfortunately, he is growing fast and will only eat some of the foods some of the time, and those babies are sugar overloads and empty carbs galore. So I look for a happy medium to balance coaxing him to expand his list of foods he will eat and getting in as much of a healthy diet as possible.


Solution: Trader Joe's refrigerated pop and bake mini crescent rolls. Plussed. I add a little butter and small sprinkling of a cinnamon & sugar mixture before rolling the triangles and baking.


Voila! Better for him and fresh from the oven. First time he refused. Second time he tried some and took some to school. This morning, I had to work fast to snag a couple before he wolfed them down.

I will need to get some more. Luckily, a can of 8 mini crescents costs less than one morning bun or cinnamon roll from Starbucks. Oh, and they're Vegan too.
