Lemon Crescent Rolls

One evening as I was getting our dinner prepared my husband came in from work and was so excited. A sweet lady had given him some homemade lemon curd that she had made. She had him try a little on a sugar cookie and he loved it. He asked me to add it to the menu for dinner. 
No further instructions were given to me.

I was looking at the chicken breast that I was in the middle of stuffing and knew that since I was going to be adding some citrus and rosemary to that, that maybe I could add some of this curd to the dinner as well.....somewhere. 

The dinner rolls perhaps? 
Sure why not?

Not really knowing a thing about lemon curd, or any curd for that matter, I gave everyone a warning.

Mom is trying something new with the dinner rolls. 

They all know that means that this little adventure will either be the best thing on earth ,OR OMGosh, what on earth were you thinking mother?? I was either going to be praised as a cooking genus or my kids were going to be looking up on how to sign me up for the next installment of the Worst Cooks in America. I was hoping not the latter.  

As it turned out, they were an OMGosh sensation and everyone that eats dinner rolls gobbled them up.

I still know nothing about curd, but I do plan on learning about them as soon as everyone is back to school and my life has become somewhat normal and manageable again. The rolls (or crescents what ever you want to call them) are very, very simple. I'm talking even my 5 year old can make them and I feel a little silly for even blogging about this. 

Lemon Rosemary C resent Rolls

1 pkg. crescent rolls
2-3 tsp. lemon curd
2 sprigs fresh rosemary


Preheat the oven to 350F. 
Roll out the entire package of crescent rolls.
Slather the crescent rolls with the lemon curd and sprinkle the rosemary all over them.


Tear them apart and roll like any other crescent rolls.
Place on UNgreased cookie sheet.


Bake for 12-15 minutes or until beautifully golden brown.


Enjoy!!!

See, I told you that was super simple. Trust me, your family will be amazed at how good these are. I hope to find that lemon curd is fairly easy to make and good for you, although, I am sure the good for you part isn't going to be true.
