One of our favorite places to be is in the kitchen. We love to bake and cook and it all stemmed from our mom's passion of cooking. She would find a recipe that she loved, and then make it all year long. We used to say, "That was the year of the cheesecakes" or "That was the year of cinnamon rolls." Some of our fondest memories revolve around cooking together in the kitchen. We love to get together as family and contribute our best recipes for the meal. And we are constantly calling each other saying, "You've got to try this recipe!" We'd like to share our favorite recipes with you. So, happy cooking, happy baking, happy eating, and then happy exercising afterwards to burn those calories!

Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls

I remember Mom making these when we were young. These had to have been among my favorite of the dinners in the Decker household. Mom always paired them up with Rice-A-Roni's herb flavored Angel Hair pasta. I love that it has become one of my kids' favorites as well. Whenver I eat them, it reminds me of home!

Chicken Stuffed Crescent Rolls

INGREDIENTS:

- 8 oz. cream cheese

- 1/3 cup butter

- 1/8 tsp. pepper

- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded and cooled

- 2-3 green onions, sliced

- 3 packages of pop-open crescent rolls

- melted butter

- Stove Top stuffing, chicken flavored (or bread crumbs)

DIRECTIONS: In a bowl, combine cream cheese, butter, pepper, cooled cooked chicken, and green onions. Combine by squeezing ingredients with your hands. Open up the cans of crescent rolls. Each can comes with 8 triangles of dough, and you will use this to make 4 rolls. So, take 2 of the triangles and make sure they are lined up as a rectangle...you can squeeze the seam together to seal it better. Scoop out 1/4 cup of the chicken mixture and place it in the middle of a crescent rectangle dough. Fold all the sides around it to fully cover the chicken mixture. It should be in a ball shape. Dip the dough ball into melted butter, then roll in some stuffing/bread crumbs. Place on a cookie sheet. Contine with the remaining chicken and dough. Bake at 325 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Serves well with rice or a light herb pasta.
