Cream Cheese Squares

Cream Cheese Squares
 Ingredients:
* 2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
* 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup butter, melted
* 1/4 cup white sugar
* 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

 Directions:
(1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×13 inch pan.
(2) Press one can of the crescent rolls into the bottom of the prepared pan.
(3) In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. I used my Kitchen-Aid mixer for this step… you could also use a hand-held mixer. Spread evenly over the crescent layer.
(4) Unroll the second can of crescent rolls and lay them on top of the cream cheese layer. Do not press down.
(5) Pour the melted butter over the entire pan. Combine the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over the top.
(6) Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top is crisp and golden.

Carnitas Tacos

2 lbs of country style pork ribs (I prefer boneless and look for ones with the least amount of fat)
1 TBS Salt
1 TBS black pepper
1 TBS dried oregano
1 white onion quartered


Put it in a crock pot, cook for 6-8 hours and shred.

Steam corn tortillas, fill with the meat, a little cheddar cheese and then a mix of diced red onion and cilantro. If you make them in bulk, you can wrap each one in a bit of foil and they stay warm and yummy.

Also...serve with a lime wedge.

Best Baby Backs Evah

From The 5 easy ingredients cook book

4 - 5 pounds baby back ribs (two racks) I used trimmed country style because that is what I had, about 3 pou
nds
1/3 c. Italian salad dressing
1 1/2 (18 oz.) bottles of BBQ sauce
1 (26 oz.) jar spaghetti sauce
1 1/4 c. brown sugar 


Use disposable aluminum baking dishes for easy clean up! Lay the ribs on the foil. I also sprayed the foil with canola. Pour the dressing and sauces over the ribs, then sugar over all. Make sure the ribs are mostly covered with the sauce. Baste occasionally with additional sauce. Bake uncovered at 250 degrees about 6 hours.
