A night by the light of the Moon

Here's an early repost from 12/08 while I recuperate from life.

We started our enchanted evening by watching,
"Diego's Moonlight Rescue"

The moon is referred to as "Luna" in our house.  Amanda constantly checks for her behind the clouds and when it starts to get dark. She says, "Luna is my friend". We've been watching this one every night for a month.

Yummy Crescent Moons for Dinner or Dessert!

 

You will need these items:

Dinner:  Butter Spray, Parmesan Cheese, Crescent Rolls, Garlic Butter.
Dessert:  Butter Spray, Sugar, Cinnamon, Crescent Rolls.

We bought our crescent rolls at ALDI for super cheap. I always save the leftover condiments, so we have garlic butter from Papa John's for the recipe and to dip too!



Spray your pan even if its a non-stick one. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Open the can and roll out the individual triangles. Spread Garlic Butter on the triangle, Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Roll your triange starting at the base. Tell the kids to Bend it to a MOON shape, then lightly spray and sprinkle more cheese on top. Place in oven for 11 - 13 minutes or until golden. These are great with Pasta!

Chow down.

Then read, "Goodnight Moon" by Margaret Wise Brown.


It's the best bedtime story...    

(Ooh, they're so cute, time flies...)



For Dessert, follow the above steps omitting the garlic butter and sprinkling sugar and cinnamon inside your triangle before rolling. Dust the top with cinnamon. When removing these from the oven spread with butter and sprinkle a little sugar on top to make your moons glow. Awesome as a bedtime snack with milk. We like to dip ours in jelly.

  2. Thanks so much for linking up! I love this "moon" theme. I was just telling a friend today that I think my 4 yo should be an astronaut. He's always talking about the moon, etc.

    I'm totally going to make those dessert moons! (I heart ALDI too!)
