Hope We Can Be Together...

It seems like just yesterday I was posting that I was a married woman -- but it's been 6 months already.  It's so hard to believe!  The time has flown by so quickly but I couldn't be any happier.

For our 6 month anniversary -- my wonderful husband sent flowers and chocolates to work.  Everyone thought they were beautiful...

 but it's the card that had everyone laughing..

"The last six months has been wonderful being with you.  Hope we can be together the rest of our lives."

Hope??? Dave says the lady at the florist was older and asked him multiple times what he wanted the card to say, but apparently she misunderstood.  We spent the evening at dinner with some friends who just got engaged.  Congrats to Kim & Brandon!!

Now that we've made it past the 6 months mark and through Thanksgiving, Dave is off in Texas working through Christmas. It sucks to be alone but he's making great money while on travel.  I look forward to getting to pick him in Atlanta and spend Christmas with his mom in Augusta.

While we are talking mushy love...  I wanted to share some of my favorite pictures from our wedding.  Judy Kay put so much time into editing our photos.. I can't thank her enough.  She had over 2,700 pictures from our wedding.... I can only imagine.  She sent us a disk with just over 2,100!!

Like I said-- these are just a few!

Pinterest Chicken Pillows

I have never been one to cook. You can ask my mom, you can ask my husband.  I never spent a whole lot of time in the kitchen growing up. I was too busy so I never really learned how to cook.  I can cook Tacos, Spaghetti, ... and brownies... and anything with directions.


But now thanks to Pinterest, I love cooking and trying new things. I have Dave sit down with me and we just search through the Food board and find things we want to try and this was one of them... Chicken Pillows.  Neither of us had ever heard of them, but Dave says it's the best thing I've ever fixed (at least thus far!)




INGREDIENTS:

1 can of 8 Pillsbury crescents (I only used 4 since it was dinner for 2)
8 oz. block of cream cheese
1/4 cup butter

Splash of Milk

1 Egg
2-3 cups shredded chicken, cooked
saltine crackers, crushed Or Bread Crumbs

TOPPING

1 can cream of chicken
sour cream (a couple spoon fulls worth)
milk
shredded cheese


Preheat oven to 400 F

Soften the butter and cream cheese. Then stir to a smooth consistency. Add cooked shredded chicken to the bowl.   I also added a little bit of cheese to the mixture. 

Before Adding Chicken

Added The Chicken

Stretch the crescent out on a cookie sheet. Place a couple spoon fulls of the creamy chicken mixture into the center of the crescent to fill it. Then fold the crescent around the mixture so that none of it is showing. I'll call this the "pillow".




In a separate smaller bowl, put the egg and a little bit of milk, maybe a couple Tablespoons worth and beat together.




Dip the "pillow" into the blended egg.

After dipping into the blended egg, proceed to dip it into the crushed saltine crackers and place on cookie sheet. Repeat for the remaining crescents.
Cook the pillows at 400 F for 20 minutes. Keep an eye on them your oven might cook them quicker.


For the Sauce Topping: 

Put can of cream of chicken and milk into a sauce pan. Add as much milk as you want to get it to the consistency you want i.e. thicker or runnier. When hot enough add 2 spoon fulls of sour cream and cheese to your liking.

Yummy Dinner!
