BBQ Chicken Crescent Rolls from Pillsbury.com

Wednesday was super dreary in NY. It wasn't quite raining but, it wasn't dry either. It wasn't quite cold, but it wasn't sunny either. The little guy and I had been out shopping and I was starving - not in the mood for fast food. 

After seeing a Pillsbury crescent roll commercial on TV  last night, I decided to Google the recipe for these rolls. Earlier in the week, I made a roast chicken for dinner and had a bunch of meat leftover. These rolls seemed like the perfect, easy way to use the leftover chicken! (There are only so many days you can eat chicken salad before it loses it's appeal.) Crescent rolls are so versatile and so yummy!

cup shredded cooked chicken

1/4

cup barbecue sauce

• 2In bowl, mix chicken and barbecue sauce. Spoon chicken mixture onto short end of each triangle; sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon of the cheese. Roll up loosely as directed on can. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.

***The original recipe from Pillsbury.com included brushing the crescent rolls with egg and sprinkling cheese on top. I did not put egg on them because it seemed unnecessary. They came out great! They were super quick, easy, and tasty.

Meal Planning:

Over the past few weeks, I've been doing a lot of reading about meal planning especially with regard to saving money. Usually, we use the circulars that come on Wednesday to plan our grocery shopping for the week but, I just buy what is on sale and then decide what I make each night. Meal planning will certainly save me time during the school year because I will not have to think about what to make each night. We are starting by following Simple Mom's advice using a two week model. The next week looks like this:

8/13 Rosemary Turkey Meatloaf (*****)
8/14 Leftovers or dinner with my family
8/15 Quick Mediterranean Pasta (allrecipes.com)
8/16 Chicken and black bean casserole
8/17 Leftovers
8/18 Pulled pork
8/19 Leftovers or dinner with friends
8/20 Pasta primavera
8/21 Chickpea burgers or dinner with my family

Our meal plan for the week will be posted at http://orgjunkie.com/2011/08/menu-plan-monday-aug-1511.html and at StoneGable
