Clover's Cookin'!: Cherry Cheese Bread Wreath

Cherry Cheese Bread Wreath

(Thank you Stella!!!)

This is always a hit during Christmas, Valentine's Day, or any day for that matter!

8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla or almond extract
2 (8 oz.) packages refrigerated crescent rolls
1 cup canned cherry pie filling
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 - 2 tsp. milk

Preheat oven to 350. In a mixing bowl: combine cream cheese, 1/3 cup powdered sugar, and vanilla; mix until smooth. Unroll crescent dough and place each triangle shaped piece with the points outward, leaving a large hole in the middle of your cookie sheet. (Your dough should look like a sun when you are finished.) Spread dough out with your fingers. Spread cream cheese mixture on dough. Spoon cherry pie filling on top of cream cheese. Fold dough points inward and seal at center. (You can twist dough when folding inward for a fancier look.) Bake until golden, 25-30 minutes. Cool slightly.

For glaze: Mix remaining powdered sugar and milk until smooth; drizzle over bread wreath.

Serve warm. Makes 12 servings.

Of Things That Matter Most

"Since 'no other success can compensate for failure' here, we must place high priority on our families. We build deep and loving family relationships by doing simple things together, like family dinner and family home evening and by just having fun together.

In family relationships love is really spelled t-i-m-e, time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home. We talk with, rather than about, each other. We learn from each other, and we appreciate our differences as well as our commonalities. We establish a divine bond with each other as we approach God together through family prayer, gospel study, and Sunday worship."

--Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the First Presidency

(General Conference, October 2010)

Good, Better, Best

"The number of those who report that their 'whole family usually eats dinner together' has declined 33 percent. This is most concerning because the time a family spends together 'eating meals at home [is] the strongest predictor of children’s academic achievement and psychological adjustment.' Family mealtimes have also been shown to be a strong bulwark against children’s smoking, drinking, or using drugs. There is inspired wisdom in this advice to parents: what your children really want for dinner is you."

--Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
