Is your life challenging? God wants us to know peace that passes understanding.
Enjoy everyday reminders with me, when God calls us to “Come, have a peace!”
When do I have time to plan meals and sift through new recipes? While sitting in the school pick up line, of course. :) Here's a favorite recipe that works GREAT as a leftover for a school lunch. When I send my kids off on their own (or my husband, for that matter), I think the food I send can do some talking for me. Food talks, and I want what I send to speak "love." When my girl opens her lunch bag today, I want her to hear "I love you" coming from inside. Now, don't go overboard on this ... my mom's lunches used to say "Julie brings a whole picnic" when I went to school. I tried to hide the smorgasboard behind the red snoopy lid (no, that was not in high school!). She meant well :) ... and she taught me that a lunchbox can hold a huge pick-me-up in someone's day. It often did for me. Thanks, Mom!
This is one of my daughter's favorites, and I usually double it. It was first made for us by sweet Mary Ann W. in Ohio, when I was so sick the whole family was shut down. We have made this ever since, including as a birthday request! Kids love it; make extra. It's sure to bring a smile to a student when they pull this out of their bag.
Chicken Pockets ~ serves 8Come visit my "peace" of the blogosphere tomorrow when we talk about how to encourage a teacher. If you have ideas, I'd love to hear them. It's that time of year!
2 pkgs. crescent rolls
4 oz. cream cheese, soft
3 T. margarine, melted
2 T. milk
2 C. cooked, chopped chicken
1/4 t. salt and 1/8 t. pepper or Mrs. Dash
Make squares of dough by pressing two triangles of dough together at the seams. Mix all remaining ingredients. Put 1/8th of the mixture into the center of each square and "gather" the corners at the top (I like to do a little twist as I finish). Press the open seams together with a gentle pinch to make a sealed pocket. Place about 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet. Spray the pockets with a little cooking spray, and sprinkle parmesan cheese or cracker crumbs on top. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees. These are great cold in a lunch box!

i love this recipe :) i used to make it so often that my husband laughs when i bring up making these yummy things :)
Sounds delicious! I wonder if I could sub the cream cheese for something else? My husband has an aversion to cream cheese--he is weird. ;) Visiting from Jen's party. :)
Girrrrlll - this is so funny - honestly - this is what I am making for my family for dinner tonight - I've made these for years! I was planning to take pics and post it for a Tasty Tuesday in the fall! So you'll be seeing it on my blog eventually! I give you two thumbs up on this recipe hehe!
Yehaw! I have all those ingredients!! Sounds good.
Your recipe sounds really delicious!
I love these! It's been a long time since I've made them. I think I will be making them again soon thanks to you. I also serve mine with a chicken sauce/gravy spooned lightly over them. Yummy!
Courtney, can't wait to see your photo version this fall. :) They are just a favorite you can keep "bringing back." And Amanda, I would love to know what you sub for the cream cheese. I was once "out" and used mashed potatoes as my filler. It was still great! I really like Country Lady's idea of serving with a gravy sauce. Thanks for visiting my kitchen, gals!
Sound yummy. I have a similar recipe I call Chicken Bundles. Thanks for sharing your recipe with us! :)
