Chicken Roll Ups

Mom gave me a new cook book for Christmas & I have yet to try any new recipes until yesterday...Chicken roll ups!  Boy were they good!  I took a picture but it looked pretty gross in the pic so I opted NOT to put the picture up.  lol.

Chicken Roll Ups

-3 oz. Cream Cheese softened
-2 1/2 tablespoons Butter melted
-2 ct. chicken breats chopped and cooked through
-Salt & Pepper
-2 cans cresent rolls
-chopped onion
-crushed croutons
(I added chopped bacon..cooked with chicken in a skillet.  And I left out the chopped onion b/c shawn hates onions and every other veggie in the world!  lol)
-Makes 4 servings (I got about 7 servings out of the receipe.  Most likely b/c I had an EPIC FAIL with the cresent rolls...read below)

Pre-heat oven to 350.  Take 2 cresent rolls and press the seams together (to make a larger cresent roll).  Mix cream cheese, butter, chicken, and bacon together.  Spoon a good amount of mixture onto open cresent roll.  Fold cresent roll up.  Add extra melted butter to top of cresent roll and sprinkle crushed croutons on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes.  I did exactly 25 minutes and it was perfect!

**So apparently I am cresent roll folding handicap!  I didn't understand the cresent roll directions AT ALL.  So I winged it.  LOL.  Some of the Chicken Roll Ups ended up being in a triangle shape, some were completely deformed, and some looked like a roll.  Regardless of how they looked they were amazing and really tasty!  And Shawn liked them...if he likes something then I know I did well.  :)  The only thing I will do different next time is add about a half a can of cream of chicken soup into the mixture to give it more of a saucy texture inside the cresent roll.  I made mashed potatoes for Shawn's side and zuccini, squash, and onion's in a frying pan for me.**

If anyone has some tips on how exactly to "fold up" a cresent roll, please feel free to comment! 

Movie Review

Law Abiding Citizen
***** 5 Stars
My Review: Wow, this movie was intense and a little too gory for my liking but the story line was incrediable.  Gerard Butler, may I add, is an amazing actor and very easy on the eyes!  lol.  I would recommend this movie only to those with a strong stomach and a strong liking for suspense.  :)

Swing Vote
***** 5 Stars
My Review: I'm pretty sure this was supposed to be a kid movie but I thoroughly enjoyed it.  I did bawl during parts of the movie though.  lol.  The underlying theme of the movie is being true to yourself and who you really are.  Awesome movie I though, but they do drop the S bomb and D bomb a lot.

Four 4Hour Classes + Studying + Test= 100%

Last night was my last Prime for Life class...the traffic violation class.  We did have to take a test at the end of class and ms. awesomeness (me) got a 100%!!!  I cannot begin to explain how happy I am that the class is over and all this other crap is almost done with as well!  Only $100 more bucks to the court and come May I will have my own whip & a new license picture!  lol

GO ME, GO ME, GO ME! 

Starting to Come Together

Hey Leslie, Julie, & Allison!  This post is mainly for you guys considering I put a ton of pressure on ya'll to take updated pics of the kids and send them to me.  Since I know everyone is super busy, I ended up just stealing pics from facebook and photobucket!  lol. 

Above are the photo's I stole...they are all located above the fire place.  Mom & Dad got me that pink flower for V-day so I had to show it off!  :) 

Love you guys!!!  I'll post some more pics of the house when I hang some more pics and such.

HAPPY [belated] VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

So not too much of a Valentine's day or weekend.  Shawn & I both work most of the weekend and althought with all this working we are doing you'd think we'd have some extra cash...nope!  lol.  Between Shawn's car, school, and other bills and my new apartment, utilities, and other bills, we just couldn't find the reasoning behind wasting money on an over rated Holiday.  I mean, if you really love someone, you should show that person everyday how much you love them!  Not just because someone said that we should celebrate it on February 14th!

Anyway-we didn't want to spend money so instead, I made a delish brunch of french toast WITH powdered sugar.  Shawn then took me to the mall so I could spend some of the giftcards he got me for Christmas.  And then later that evening I made a DELISH whole wheat, 3 cheese lasagna and garlic bread for dinner.  Some would say it wasn't much but we enjoyed the nice relaxing day with NOOOO WORK!  :)

HOME SWEET HOME

The fellow that owns his own home is always just coming out of a hardware store....So thank God I don't own my own home! hahaha! But so far so good. I absolutely LOVE my new place. It has been kinda weird not living out of my bedroom though. /)
So instead of taking a million pics and trying to fit them all onto my blog, I got this bright idea to take a video of my place! lol. I had had a migraine for about 5 days and was still in my P.J.'s when if felt the need to video the apartment so please excuse the grovely voice, stutters, and my corny jokes...my brain was on vacay! Also, please excuse all the picture frames that are on the floor...I haven't gotten around to hanging them or should I say that I haven't gotten around to asking Shawn to help me hang the pic frames. haha. Anyway-hope you enjoy!
