Whipped Jello Salad

This is one of my go-to recipes when I am asked to bring a salad to a potluck.  I think it has been at pretty much every one of my mom's family gatherings I have ever been to.  You can add variety by changing the flavor of Jello or fruits that you add.  In the picture I used sugar-free Peach Jello and strawberries and peaches.  You can make more or less of this by using all big or small containers/packages of ingredients

WHIPPED JELLO SALAD

Ingredients:

1 pkg. Jello

1 container whipped cream

1 container cottage cheese

1 can fruit (or you can use fresh)

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together in bowl.  Chill briefly before serving to let it thicken a little.  Garnish with fruit, if desired.

ENJOY! 

Chicken and Cream Cheese Crescents

This is an old recipe. I think my aunt was the first to make it for me. It's so simple and so delicious. I've had these pictures for a while and I decided to finally post the recipe. If you love cream cheese, you will love this. I have to say though, they are very addicting...

Chicken and Cream Cheese Crescents

Ingredients:

2 "rolls" refrigerated crescent rolls (you can also use biscuits or your own recipe)
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 large chicken breast, cooked and diced or 1 can chicken, shredded (I prefer cooking my own)
3 green onions, chopped

Directions:

Preheat oven according to roll package directions. In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, chicken and onions until combined. Lay out crescent with large end facing you. Put about 2 Tbsp. cream cheese mixture in center of large end. Fold large sides in and around the mixture and then roll it like you would a crescent (I hope that makes sense). Put finished rolls evenly apart on greased baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven according to roll package directions, or until golden.
These are great with a nice green salad.


ENJOY!
