Of Course my cooking post would start with a WARNING...

WARNING: This post is not nearly as hilarious as the I-Pad posts… start there!

I know, I know, I’ve been MIA. But I promise I have several good excuses I won’t post here… BUT….

I did do “Something New Saturday”! Yay Me! It was edible, too!! Pinterest has affected me big time! (I even tried to look up “Andy Griffith chili cook off booth”. Not that anything came up… but there is a chance for me to set a trend in the Pinterest world!)

Ingredients Mixed

I digress… SNS.

I made “Chicken Bundles”, because I’m a SUCKER for anything that includes cream cheese and crescent rolls. (Here is the link to the original recipe: http://www.quick-and-easy-dinner.com/chicken-bundles.html)

I didn’t follow the recipe exactly…

Ingredients for Chicken Bundles

4 oz. cream cheese, softened

1-13 oz. can chicken or equivalent cooked chicken (Fresh would have been so much better)

1 Tbs. sesame seeds

1/4 tsp. parsley

2 cans Pillsbury Crescent Rolls - leave in fridge until ready to use!

1 Tbs. finely chopped onion or dried minced onion (I used fresh)

**I added garlic powder, onion powder, and course sea salt.

Ingredients Ready to Roll! 

Steps:

Combine the above ingredients (minus the crescent rolls) and mix well.

Open one 8 count package crescent rolls. DO NOT divide into triangles. Keep every 2 triangles together, forming 4 rectangles.

Pinch the seams closed and pat each one out into a larger square. 

Put a spoonful of chicken/cream cheese mixture into the center of each square. Fold the corners up into the center, layering like flower petals so the roll is sealed. (Don't stress too much on the technique, fold them up press seams together to make a bundle.)

Am I doing this right??

Repeat with all 8 rectangles. You're going to worry that you're doing this wrong, but you're not, just do it, I promise they'll taste delicious.

Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

Don’t you LOVE it when a recipe says, “you are going to worry that you’re doing this wrong, but you’re not”??  I am the WORSE cook! And by that I mean, every time I cook, I stress myself out over if it will turn out or not. And I do it to the point that I make myself sick… and can’t eat.

Ready for the Oven

This recipe turned out great! It would have been better with fresh chicken or maybe even leftover rotisserie chicken. I am even inspired to do a breakfast version with cheese and sausage, YUM.

Fini!

So THERE… Jeni. I not only picked up the “SNS” challenge gauntlet, but I threw it all the way back to California!!
