What’s Cookin’ in the Parsonage?

My weekend get-away with my sisters was such a blessing!  Not only are we blood sisters, we are also sisters in Christ, so we had a wonderful time encouraging one another in this most important area of our lives.  Together we sang, prayed, cried, laughed, hiked, gave pedicures and manicures, and also ate some great Retreat Food!  Some may go to a cabin and roast hot dogs, but I have sisters who love to cook and are good at it, so we each prepared a meal or two for our weekend get away. 

Here we are on the porch of our cabin.

Savory Crescent Chicken Squares
1 3-oz. pkg cream cheese, softened
3 Tbs margarine, melted
2 cups cubed cooked chicken or two 5-oz cans boned chicken
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
2 Tbs milk
1 Tbs chopped onion
1 8 oz. can Pillsbury Refrigerated Crescent dinner rolls
3/4 cup seasoned croutons, crushed

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In medium bowl,blend cream cheese and 2 Tbs of margarine until smooth.  Add next 6 ingredients; mix well.  Separate dough into 4 rectangles; firmly press perforations around edges together to seal.  Spoon 1/2 cup meat mixture onto center of each rectangle.  Pull 4 corners of dough to top center of chicken mixture, twist slightly and seal edges.  Place on ungreased cookie sheet.  Brush tops with reserved 1 Tbs. margarine; sprinkle with crouton crumbs.  Bake 35 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.  Serves 4.

My twin sister, Dianne, made our breakfast one morning.  It was a Pampered Chef recipe for a Quiche. Take a look at this yummy morning food…
