Chicken Cheese Crescents Recipe

Last week I mentioned I’d share the recipe for one of my pictures I posted on the 12 on 12 challenge

Ingredients:

- 1 can of Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, we prefer the Garlic Butter ones for some extra flavor
- 2 Chicken Breasts
- 1 can of Cream of Chicken soup, we prefer Campbell’s Healthy Request
- dollop of butter
- some shredded mild cheddar

Cook your chicken breasts by baking or boiling.  I prefer to throw them in one of those oven bags so they are moist and tender.  Shred and chop up the chicken breasts.  In a saucepan heat up the cream of chicken soup, butter, and a handful or two of shredded cheese.  While that is heating, unroll your crescent rolls, lay your chopped chicken on the dough, roll it up like you normally would.  I do a line of the heated mixture down two sides of a 9x13 casserole dish.  Lay your stuffed crescent rolls on the lines.  Then put one spoonful of the mixture on top of each crescent.  If you have leftover just dump it.  I then sprinkle some more cheese on top of the whole dish.  Bake @ 350 for 20-25 minutes. 

I promise this will be a big hit!

19 Weeks & Gender Reveal

 

Yesterday, I had the big U/S – not really a surprise in our family, we are blessed to announce we’ll be welcoming our 3rd little girl into our family!  I was really pulling for a boy, as we are done after this little ones arrival, thankfully I wasn’t as upset/disappointed as what I thought I might be.  Everyone who hears just keeps saying over and over Poor Hubs.  Personally, I can’t get my mind away from when they are in their teenage years, I am seriously afraid!  Lols.  Now for the fun little pregnancy survey.

Pregnancy Review: 
How far along: 19wks 3 days

Total weight gain/loss: Still down 3lbs according to Dr’s scale.  I much prefer my scale as mine says 5lbs lighter than the Dr’s, lols.

Maternity clothes?: Yes please!

Strech marks?: Nothing new.

Sleep: Sleeping well, still able to sleep on my side/belly still.  It’s just now turning around in bed is getting painful with those ligament pains.

Best moment this week: Finding our we’re expecting our 3rd girl. 

Movement: She’s finally starting to move around more, after a week or two of flutters, I stopped feeling her move.

Food cravings:  Baked red potatoes with all the toppings, baked corn, chicken dishes.

Gender: GIRL

What I miss: Nothing really, this pregnancy is such a breeze compared to Avalynn’s.

Labor Signs: No

Belly Button in or out? No change, still an innie.

What I am looking forward to: Now I can start planning the nursery.

Weekly Wisdom: Nothing right now

Milestones: Passing my early Gestational Diabetes test, minimal weight gain so far.

 

Now for a picture and the name reveal!
