creamy creasent chicken
creamy cresant chicken
2 cups cooked shredded chicken
2 packages cresant rolls
1 cup of cheese
a can of cream of mushroom soup
a can of cream of chicken soup
Start by unrolling the rolls. Place a little bit of chicken in each followed by a little cheese. Roll them up keeping filling inside. Bake for ten minutes at 350. Stir together two soups and pour on top of rolls and cook 10 more minutes. sprinkle remaining cheese on top and bake ten more minutes. serve and enjoy.
Mr. Wonderful ate almost the whole pan by himself and said he loved it. Itty bitty ate quite abit and seemed to really enjoy it. I think it needs something added to it so am going to keep working on tweaking it a little each time i make it.

Gerneral tsos beef stir fry
So I tried post two blogs last night and both keep saying failed. I have no idea what's going on with it. We made a trip to Quincy as I told you and had so many problems I didn't really feel up to cooking. Someone had the awesome Idea to make a trip to Woodmans and get some sushi. We did that and ended up with a 12 pack of each California rolls and crunch rolls. They were so good. His had spice already and were topped with fried onion things. Sooo good. That made me decide it was a Chinese buffet dinner night at home. Of to the Oriental sle I went. We found a gerenral tsos sauce and decided that's what we could have. I have it with chicken all the time when we go to the buffet but decided to try it with beef. Its Mr. Wonderful favorite thing at the buffet, mine is crab legs when they are there. Itty Bitty will eat anything we put in front of her, well try it twice at least. That's why I love any type of buffet for that reason. So much to choose from. So back to the oriental isle. We got the sauce and then found extra thin egg noodles and soy sauce and we had our meal picked out.
General tsos beef stir fry
1 lb beef stir fry strips
1/2 bottle general tsos sauce
1/2 pkg extra thin egg noodles
Cut 1/ the beef into bit size pieces and the other half just cut in half
Pour 1/4 the half a bottle into a fry pan and another 1/4 in a pan and cook at 350 10 min or until cooked
Meanwhile cook the noodles according to package
Drain noodles and add rest of sauce
Mix the two meats together and add to noodle and mix and enjoy:-)
This is how my itty Bitty passed out:-)

Balsamic sour cream chicken
Today was a fun day. My itty wouldn't go to sleep last night and was up until the wee hours of the night. So I again am off our sleep schedule and i don't like it at all. I liked her going to bed earlier so we had time to hang out alone and watch movies. But alast we will get back on again, we always do. I'll just have some really long nights and days for a bit. We spent the day cleaning house and watching the Narnia movies over and over. Now I'm watching alone and she's playing with her house and Mr. Wonderful is playing video games. We are getting ready to watch Kill Bill volume one when he comes back down and I clean up the kitchen. Supper tonight was starting out as balsamic chicken and rice but Mr. Wonderful wanted potatoes so I changed it a little. I'm also going to share the two recipes that Mr. Wonderful made this afternoon while I napped. So I woke up to awesomness.
Balsamic sour cream chicken
1/4c oil
1/2 c balsmic
8 oz sour cream
1/2 lb mushrooms
1/2 yellow onion
3 chicken tenderloins
Handful bacon bits
Cut both mushrooms and onion up into small bit size pieces or you can leave mushrooms big your choice:-)
Mix them in a pan with oil
mix balsac and sour cream together
Mix mushrooms with sour cream mixture
Place chicken in bottom of pan
Top with sour cream mixture
Sprinkle bacon bits on top
Cook 350 for 25-30 mins or until chicken cooked
I took mine out and shredded it and put it on top of a baked potatoe that was seasoned with butter, salt, pepper, more sour cream, and season salt and cheese.
I want to try it cooked with pasta next time. I think it would be good.
Seasoned mushrooms
1/2 lb mushrooms
1/4 c soy sauce
1/4 white wine
1/2 tsp season salt
1/2 c butter
Melt butter and mix in all other ingredients
Cook on high until mushrooms are brown and enjoy
*eat on steak, potatoes, chicken, or in the case today alone:-)
Baked ice cream bowl
3 soft taco shells
2 tbs sugar
2 tbs cinamon
2 tbs butter
2 tbs brown sugar
Spread butter on shells
Mix sugar and cinnimon together
Sprinkle with suar mixture
Spinkle brown sugar on them
Place in a oven safe bowl
Bake at 350 until the stars carmelize
Take out and add ice cream and enjoy:-) :-)
It was a nice surprise to wake up to both those snacks when we woke up. He did a good job and its not even v-day yet. He has his work cut out for himself now to top that for the 14 th. But hell do it he always surprises me. Well time for Kill Bill for the first time. Hoping its good.

Beef stir fry:-)
Its been awhile, again. We were lucky enough to get to go out to eat with family to Olive Garden. We stuffed our bellies until they treated to explode. I got the three course meal and let Mr. Wonderful have my dessert, he had a dessert coffee. What a nerd:-) my itty Bitty stuffed herself on breadsticks and some of my amazing soup so she got left overs of hers the next day. If you haven't already get the hanging with friends app and add me, it Jamie G:-) we got to meet my new month old nephew the other day as well, his name is Adam and he is the cutest thing. I miss my itty Bitty being that little. Time for another one? I want a baby soon, but not for awhile. I love family time. I haven't seen my sisters in Yeats and it was nice to see them again. We had quite the mix of food that day:-) fruits, salad, pizza, goat cheese and crackers, olives, and chips and salsa.
I finally talked, more like forced, Mr. Wonderful into going to a shop here called Woodman's and I literally almost had a heart attack walking into there. There was so many isle and so much food. Its the new place for us to get food. I got itty Bitty a box of chicken nuggets and corn dogs mixed for like 5. Its basically a Sam's club that you don't have to pay yearly to use. Its buying in bulk:-) ok ok on to the food.
Beef stir fry
1 lb stir fry beef ( I cut them into small pieces)
1 pkg rice sticks ( its a type of rice noodle in Oriental section)
1/2 cup butter
1/4 c oil
1/2 lb mushrooms cut up
1 c soy sauce
1 clove garlic
1/2 c terikya sauce
Cut the beef into bit size pieces
Place the noodles in hot water and soak 10 minutes
Spinkle them with a little bit of corn stark to help them form a carmaly crust on outside
Put a little bit of oil in bottom of a fry pan and add the butter
Add the beef and mushrooms and cook a little
Add the soy sauce and keep cooking
Once noodles are soft and pliable take out of water and cut in half
add them to beef and mushroom
Add tereyka and stir and enjoy:-)
My itty Bitty really liked it, I wish the noodles the self had more flavor but I liked it. Mr. Wonderful didn't really eat it but he'd been eating all day. He found sushi and ate it all day. Happy eating.
Ooo it was itty Bitty first taste of cotten candy. She of course loved it:-) :-) :-)

Mr Wonderful cooked:-)
I turned out to have a server kidney infection, so I'm supposed to take it easy and take my pills. It doesn't seem to be getting any better though so i might have to make a trip back to the doctors. Guess we will see what happens in the next couple days. Its no fun being sick and taking care of a 17 month old, but she's been doing pretty good so I can't really complain. She comes and grabs my face to give me a kiss and she's cuddling me more then normal:-) hopefully I can start feeling better so I can get her outside to play in the snow. She's been itching to since it snowed again. On to the wonderful meal my love made us yesterday. I have no idea what to call it, the picture does not do this justice. It literally was so so good, I couldn't stop complmating him.
Mr. Wonderful meal:-)
3 bràts cut
1 tbs BBQ seasoning
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 c olive oil
3-4 potatoes
1 c shredded cheese( we used a Mexican mix)
BBQ to garnish
Cut up the bràts into rounds and put them into a pan that has olive oil in it. Season with BBQ seasoning a pepper
Cook at 425 for 15 minutes or until cooked
Take 1/4 c cheese and mix it into the hot bràts
Cook the potatoes either into mashed potatoes or backed
( we baked them and then skined them and made mash potatoes out of them, we just used butter, salt, and pepper but make them how you would normally)
Make the bràts in to a evenish place to place the potatoes on and then top with the remaining cheese and place back in oven to melt cheese
Scoop it out and garnish with more BBQ
We made ours with a side of corn and I mixed mine in to he other and it was so good. My itty thought it was a bit spicy for her liking but ate the corn like crazy, its good corn not from a can. My mom and sister spent hours in the summer frezzing it so its so good.
On that note I need a nap:-) have a good day
