Mother's Day Breakfast: A low carb labor of love!

A few days, maybe a week, before Mother's Day this year I came across a low carb recipe for Cinnamon Rolls that had strawberry filling and a cream cheese icing.

You had me at roll, but the strawberry filling and icing had me drooling!

Of course, I immediately shared this recipe to my facebook page and went about my day. I couldn't wait to make this but apparently didn't think it was wise to check to make sure I had all of the ingredients to make it. 

Shaking my head, thinking back, wondering why I decided not to check if I had everything and why I only made sure I had strawberries! HMMMMMM

But, none the less Mother's Day morning arrived and I was determined to make this scrumptious treat!

Ignore the "My Little Pony plate". LOL!

I think Chuck was curious about the process and if this little ditty of a dish would turn out because before I knew it, I had a kitchen helper. 

I'm so glad Chuck wanted to help because every time I try to make any type of fathead dough and roll it up I have nothing but trouble. He, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have any problems at all. And well, let's face it. Chuck is a far better baker than I am. I'm a good cook and a fair baker, but he's a much better baker. 

Jesse and Zoey were interested when they heard "Cinnamon Rolls" but when they saw the strawberries, they turned their noses up. Guess what? This is breakfast, so man up!

I ran out of Swerve when making the strawberry compote. UHHHHH, Oh well! I use Swerve, but always use less anyway. So I'm thinking this isn't a big deal. 

When lining up these strawberry cinnamon rolls into the pie dish, they just didn't look appetizing. I was like, well...so what if they aren't pretty, at least they'll taste good! I'm hoping they taste good!

Chuck's set up

My setup, I had to move these around because 

I knew they would spread out while they cooked. 

While the cinnamon rolls were cooking I realized that I didn't have heavy cream, mine was a month out of date, and I had already run out of swerve, so it looks like there won't be any icing! RUT RO RORGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not a huge icing fan so I figured "what the hell". I think others in the house were slightly disappointed that there was no icing. With that being said I think these bad boys turned about pretty dam good considering we didn't have all of the ingredients. As a matter of fact I would have preferred no swerve in the strawberries.

So the next time I make these, or something like them....and I'm sure there will be a next time. I will 1 - make sure I have all the ingredients and 2 - cut down on the swerve. If you are are like me Swerve makes you feel funny. It also affects my blood sugar levels. I know many others don't have any issues with it but for me....I'd rather have a less sweet treat and not have the funny feeling.
