Tasty Tuesday: Cinnamon Roll Toast

This is a recipe that my mom has made for a long time. It is a nice change from regular cinnamon toast and is fairly easy/thrifty to make. Can also easily be doubled/tripled/etc for a crowd.

Cinnamon Roll Toast (by The Thrifty Teacher's Mom)

2 slices of bread (white or wheat)

1 teaspoon of cinnamon (sometimes I use more- depending on taste)

1 tablespoon of butter, melted

1/2 cup confectioners sugar

1/2 tablespoon water

1/8 teaspoon vanilla

Brush melted butter on one side of the bread (I have spread it on both sides before, but it is up to you).

Sprinkle on cinnamon (both sides if buttered).

Place buttered side down in a moderately hot skillet until lightly toasted.

Turn and leave on other side just long enough to keep it from feeling soggy.

Spread hot toast with glaze made with confectioner's sugar, water and vanilla (sometimes I sprinkle some cinnamon into the glaze as well).

Tasty Tuesday: My Favorite Smoothie!

Today I am joining in with Tasty Tuesday at Balancing Beauty and Bedlam

There are some great recipes!  Check them out! 

Since it has been so hot out, I decided to share a smoothie recipe that is rather thrifty (IMO).  It is a bit different than your usual smoothie.  

Blueberry Pineapple Smoothie

• 1 cup fresh blueberries (I use frozen)
• 1 (6 ounce) container vanilla yogurt (I use Yoplait Custard Vanilla)
• 1/3 cup canned pineapple chunk (reserve juice) (I use frozen)
• 1/3 cup pineapple juice (saved from can or from a can of pineapple juice)

1. Put all ingredients in blender.
2. Blend until smooth.
3. Serve immediately.
4. Serves 1.

I usually add in some crushed ice (if it isn't icy/cold enough).  I have also subbed apple juice for the yogurt, and added in ice.  

Hope you try it and like it!
