Sweet and Tart Cream Cheese Rolls image

This is a great breakfast recipe-from Cooking Light, tweaked by me, and uses frozen bread rolls for easy to make recipe. Lots of fruit and lemon and orange zest with cream cheese and raisins or dried fruit and nuts. Of course, if you want to use your own bread dough you can do that also. I'm for the quick and easy..So delicious...
