Chicken Pockets

I don't have a "recipe" for this....it was something my neighbor, Jill told me about and I tried it!! Love it. One of those great recipes when you forget to make dinner!! Haha!!



1 package crescent rolls
1 large can chunked chicken
1 (8oz) package cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon parsley
1/2 teaspoon minced onion
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread the crescent rolls out and break into 4 rectangles (2 crescent rolls each). Soften cream cheese (I use a hand blender) and add the chicken and spices (you could use any seasoning you prefer). Put the cream cheese mixture into each crescent roll and pull the crescent roll up around the sides to form a pocket. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Yummy!!

Spaghetti Meat Sauce

I found this original post on Allrecipies.com but after I browned the meat I moved it to the strainer and then I sautéed one green pepper and 2 cloves of fresh garlic for about 5 minutes before I added the rest of the ingredients back to the pot. Also, I didn't have stewed tomatoes so I added a can of whole tomatoes, liquid and all. Very easy, quick and way better then the jar!!

INGREDIENTS:
1 pound lean ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed
tomatoes
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 (4.5 ounce) can mushrooms,
drained

DIRECTIONS:
1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, cook ground beef with onion until brown; drain. Stir tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, garlic powder, oregano and mushrooms into beef mixture. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer one hour. Serve over hot pasta.
