Chicken Roll-ups

My kids L-O-V-E these chicken roll-ups! They are perfect for little hands to hold and super creamy and cheesy. I like that it gets a little bit of protein into their diet, too. My college roommate made these a few times (but hers were much fancier), and I have since seen similar recipes online. This is one that I have just created/adapted over time to fit our families' tastes.


Makes 16 rolls

2 packages crescent roll dough (16 rolls)
1 1/2 cups Chopped Chicken, rehydrated
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (any kind will do)
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter/margarine, melted
bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken, cheeses, salt, and pepper. 

Spoon onto crescent rolls, roll them up and seal the edges. 

Brush melted butter over tops, and sprinkle with bread crumbs. 

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.

National Preparedness Month

September is National Preparedness Month! 
There are lots of ideas of ways you can "celebrate" National Preparedness Month: get your 72 hour kits up to date, make an emergency evacuation plan, create a list of recipes that are quick and easy to prepare, and stock up on emergency prep supplies and food! I plan to work on all of these things this month. Follow along with me right here on the blog!

You can save BIG on three types of products this month with THRIVE Life!
