Feel Better Chicken and Cheese Crescents

One of my good friends and coworkers had surgery this week.  So us girls at the office decided to each make a dish to take to her and her husband.  I knew right away that I wanted to make my mom's chicken and cheese cresents.  They are my favorite meal and comfort food.  When I had all four of my wisdom teeth taken out my mom brought me a freezer batch of them so I could eat them as soon as I could start chewing.  I bought a disposable pan and the ingredients and got to cooking.  I have even had to pass this recipe out to some of the girls in the office just because they saw and smelled them.

2 Cups Diced Chicken (Cooked)
3/4 Cup grated Cheddar Cheese
I can Cream of Chicken Soup
I can Milnot
2 pkg. Cresent Rolls

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Cook, debone, and chop ckicken or use canned chicken if your in a hurry.  Mix chicken with 1/2 cup of cheese.  Place mixture on cresent dough and roll up.  Heat soup, milk, and remaining cheese together.  Pour half of sauce in the baking dish,  Place the cresent rolls on top and bake at 350 degrees for approximately 25 minutes.  Serve with the remaining sauce. 

Here is a picture of the smaller batch I made for my husband and I.  There is no way he was going to let me make these without saving him some.  I went ahead and poured the sauce on ours after they cooled.  For my friend I placed it in a seperate container so the cresents wouldnt get soggy.

As you can see I LOVE cheese! My mom usually uses only 1/2 C of grated cheddar cheese altogether but since this is my post I've got to tell you how I do it!

Here is my disposable dish.  Sure to make any sick person perk up!

Keep on Keepin on

With the Oklahoma City Memorial half marathon only 4 1/2 week away, I figured it was about time for me to run around Lake Hefner.  It has a ten mile track that goes all the way around.  There are always a lot of people out jogging and biking but MAN is it far.  By the last two miles I felt like my only small movements were caused by the wind.. I was hurting.  All I could think was geez-a-loueez how am I supposed to do three more?  Hopefully it will get easier in the next few weeks but I really dont think I can run that far more than once a week.  I may get burnt out before my real race even starts.  Here is a picture of me stretching as soon as we got done.  The sun was setting and I really did feel accomplished.  Also, thinking how hungry I am and how much I could go for a grape gatorade. 

So you all know how my goal this year is to get abs.  Well Yesterday on my run I talked Jeremy into riding his bike along side me so I would have someone to talk to, and this is how our conversation went Me: "I just don't get it, I eat well and I exercise about 5 times a week.  How do I not have any ab definition at all?" Jeremy: "Ki I hate to break it to you but you really don't eat that well."

That one kind of hurt, I mean I know I have a few cheat meals every once in awhile but I guess I didn't take into consideration my snacking habits. So I am going to try a little harder finding healthy meal that we can both enjoy.

Cake decorationg update: With the stress and hassle of moving I have not taken any cake orders because I have been to busy.  I will start up with an order in mid april for vintage style cupcakes and I will be posting pictures.  However, this weekend with Easter coming up.  I have a few fun desserts lined up, I am heading to the grocery store after my first class of cycle pump tongith (cycling class while lifting weights) and I will be posting recipes this week!  



First and Last Tat

I'll start by saying we finally got moved into our new house!!! It is almost twice as big as our "love shack" and we are enjoying the perks of a newer house everyday! It has been very stressful the last couple of weeks. We packed up our whole house, I aced my test, celebrated my birthday, and bought and moved into Our first home TOGETHER all in one week. I emphasize together because Jeremy did purchase a home while we were dating that I moved into after we got married. After we got settled in I finally got to enjoy.. Ehhr kind of enjoyed.. Well later on enjoyed my birthday present. Jeremy set up an appointment for me to have my eyeliner tattooed on. I was so nervous I have never had a tattoo before. Once I got there I found out from the lady who dolled me up, that permanent make up and tattooing are very separate. She had to be checked off by the health department to be certified. So to calm my nerves she put me on the laughy Gas. Then she gave me three shots in each eye to numb it, which I thought was by far the worst part. I squirmed and squeezed those stress balls until I thought the stuffing would come out. After the numbing sets in, the only thing you can really feel is the vibrations of the tool. I was really pleased with the results. She did exactly what I told her, an average size at the top and very thin on the bottom. As we were leaving I felt the numbness starting to wear off. It felt like a bad sunburn for the next hour, nothing a bag of ice couldn't fix. After that I felt great, day two I was pretty swollen but here I am on day three loving it and ready to put on some mascara to add to the effect, only 7 more days!

The top picture is what I took about twenty minutes after I got home from getting it done. The bottom picture is what I took today on day three. The swelling has gone down a lot and I thought the color looked a lot better. She said the color fades 30% during the healing process. It seems really bright once you first do it, so I was glad to see it fade a bit.





This last picture is what Jeremy took while I was getting it done. I didn't realize until later that day that he had posted it onto Facebook saying I was getting a Mike Tyson tattoo. I only found out because I got emails saying what people had commented on the picture I was tagged too. He has no shame:)
