many thanks...and chicken ranch roll-ups!

My phone hasn't rang once today from some unknown number. I have been able to watch TV in peace without being bombarded with political ads. The election is finally over and I am so thankful!!!! And I woke up this morning after sleeping easy knowing that President Obama was re-elected as our President for the next 4 years! So many things to be thankful for regarding that and now, today is a new day. Democrat or Republican, left side or right side, blue state or red state....none of that matters anymore. It's time to all unite together as one country and start having each others backs and help one another, regardless of political party. Nothing will ever get done or accomplished if people can't look past their differences and all start getting along. Let's all be friends and just be thankful for our freedom, our rights and for being alive!

Enough with that...here's a quick and great meal that we had for dinner and perfect because it contains all pantry/fridge staples (well at least for us!) so there's no reason to run to the store! What you should do is run to the kitchen and make these delicious chicken ranch roll-ups tonight or as soon as possible!!

What you will need:1 pkg cream cheese (8oz)
1 pkg crescent rolls (8 count) (you can also use TWO packages of regular sized crescents)
2 shredded, cooked chicken breasts
2 C shredded cheese (we have a 4-cheese blend that tasted great!)
1 packet of dry ranch seasoning
1/4 t salt
1/4 t pepper
bread crumbs
1 tablespoon melted butter

Directions:
1. Set out cream cheese for it to start getting to room temperature! To cook the chicken, I took the chicken breasts right out of the freezer and boiled them for 40 minutes. that way I could prepare the rest of the mix while that was cooking (and do some cleaning!) If you don't want to boil the chicken though, use whatever method works best for you but I like to boil it because that makes it shred really easy!
2. Mix block of cream cheese with shredded cheese, dry ranch, salt, and pepper.

3. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the water and shred it on a plate and remove any excess fat.
4. Unroll the crescent rolls individually and put the mixture onto the rolls. Just spoon it out first onto all of them before rolling up so you know you won't have left over mixture!

5. Roll them up and criss cross the corners in to make sure the edges are sealed. 
6. Melt the butter and brush the roll-ups with it then top them with bread crumbs. This is optional but makes them extra delicious!
7. Finally, bake them at 350* for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Yum! Super good, easy and quick to make and even easier on the wallet! We made some sweet potato fries to eat with the roll-ups which made dinner an easy clean up! And left overs for lunch tomorrow! Enjoy the roll-ups and political ad free TV because that's our plan!
