Chicken Pillows

8 ounces of Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup of Sour Cream
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
A sprinkle of Onion Powder (or sub minced onion)
About 3 cups of chicken/ 3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
2 (8 ounces) cans of Pillsbury crescent rolls
Melted butter
Italian bread crumbs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix cream cheese and sour cream until well blended.  Stir in salt, pepper, onion powder, and shredded chicken.  Using Pillsbury crescent rolls, take 2 of the triangular rolls and push the seam together so they won't fall apart.  This should make a rectangle.  Place 2 heaping spoonfuls in the middle of the rectangle.  Fold up the crescent to form a 'pillow'.  Trying to keep all of the mixture on the inside and pressing at the seams to keep it sealed as best as you can.  Continue this with the rest of the mixture and crescent rolls.

Place 'pillows' on a cookie sheet and rub the tops with butter and sprinkle italian bread crumbs on top.

Bake at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes.

**If you make these smaller they are great appetizers or party food.

Apple Crisp

1 can of Apple Pie Filling (or Peach or Cherry...whatever you are in the mood for)
A couple squirts of lemon juice
1/4 tsp of Vanilla
1/2 cup of Brown Sugar
1/4 tsp of Cinnamon
1/2 cup of Rolled Oats
1/4 cup of butter softened

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Mix all of the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl withe the butter.  Butter will melt completely as it cooks.  It will be a little lumpy.  That is fine.  Mix the pie filling of your choice with a little lemon juice and vanilla.  Some pie filling choices I might skip the lemon juice, but with apple filling it goes really well.  Pour pie filling into a loaf pan.  Sprinkle the dry ingredient mixture on top.  Bake for about 45 minutes or so watching to keep an eye on browning.

 Serve warm with ice cream.  Yum!!
