Write a book

My mom has always told me I should write a book about all my adventures and the cards I have been handed. I'm turning thirty next week and man what a thirty years it has been. I'm pretty sure I've buried more family members then some do there whole life. Moved more then some do there whole life. Felt more heart ache then some do there whole lives. And have had to grow up quicker then most. All this is 30 years more then some in 60 years. But you know what it sucks but I wouldn't be who I am today with our it. I wouldn't have met Rob, wouldn't have my babies, fur children or building our home. Things do happen for a reason. Though I would give almost anything just to hug my mommy Ellen for a moment.

Thirty one in July!! Look at what you can get for under $50 this month!!


Buffalo Chicken crescent


This was supposed to be a buffalo crescent wreath but I only had crescent sheets not crescent rolls.

2-3 pieces of shredded chicken
Buffalo sauce (which ever is your favorite) to coat chicken 
Minced celery (I did not use)
1-2 handfuls of blue-cheese crumbles (optional) 
Half packet of ranch seasoning
8 ounces of cream cheese
2 packages of crescents

Preheat I've to 375
Toss chicken and hot wing sauce to taste
In separate bowl mix cream cheese and ranch seasoning together. (If needed you can put cream cheese in the microwave to soften for 30 seconds)
Mix chicken and cheese mixtures together
Fold in optional celery and or blue cheese
On stone or pizza pan lay out crescents. You could do roll ups, wreath, however you like. I'll post how to and pictures of the rings from pampered chef book. 
For this we will do a ring. Section crescents in squares so you have 8. Place in a circle leaving a hole in the middle.
Spoon filling on to crescents.
Fold crescents over mixture former ring.
At this point you could do an optional egg wash over crescents. 
Bake for about 15 minutes until crescents are golden brown. 
Serve with ranch, bluechesse and optional hot sauce.
