Got this recipe by email from pillsbury.com and it looks like something really yummy to make. So here it is!
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 boneless skinless chicken breast (4 oz), cut in half crosswise
2 tablespoons buffalo wing sauce (from 12-oz jar)
1 tablespoon chopped celery
1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup blue cheese dressing
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375°F. In 10-inch skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium-high heat until hot. Cook and stir chicken in oil 3 to 5 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Remove from heat; place chicken on cutting board. Using a fork, pull chicken into shreds; return to skillet. Stir in sauce and celery.
2. Meanwhile on cutting board, unroll dough and separate into 8 triangles. From center of 1 longest side to opposite point, cut each triangle in half, making 16 triangles. Place rounded tablespoonful chicken mixture on center of each triangle. Bring corners to center over filling, overlapping ends; press gently to seal. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. Brush each lightly with remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Sprinkle with parsley.
3. Bake 10 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with blue cheese dressing for dipping.

| Deluxe Burgers |
[29 Jan 2010|11:24pm] |
Who out there doesn't like a tasty burger. These are simple, but delicious.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds ground round
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp coarse ground black pepper
1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
3/4 tsp garlic salt
4 tsp mayonnaise
2 tsp mustard
4 hamburger buns
lettuce
1 medium tomato sliced
Directions:
1. Blend the ground round, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice together in a bowl, mixing thoroughly. Shape into 4 equal sized patties. (Here's a tip. If you want them to turn out nicely flattened when cooked, make the middles thinner than the outsides but indenting a groove in the middle of the pattie with your thumbs)
2. Heat a non stick skillet until very hot. Sprinkle garlic salt in the centre. Place the patties in the hot skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and sear both sides. Reduce the heat once more and cook for 3 minutes or until done through as you like them.
3. Spread the bottoms of burger buns with the mayonnise and mustard. Top each with a burger. Place the lettuce and tomato on top and serve.

Big, fluffy and yummy blueberry pancakes! Enjoy this one.
Ingredients:
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cups (10 ounces) milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional)
3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) melted butter or vegetable oil (1 1/4ounces)
1 1/2 cups (6 1/4 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons (7/8 ounce) sugar
3/4 cup (3 ounces) blueberries, fresh or frozen
Directions:
1) Beat the eggs, milk, and vanilla until light and foamy, about 3 minutes at high speed of a stand or hand mixer. Stir in the melted butter or oil.
2) Add the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar, stirring just to combine. A few lumps are OK. Set the batter aside to rest while you're heating your griddle or pan; it'll thicken a bit as it stands.
