Growing up, my family's schedule seemed to revolve around mealtime. I have to attribute my love for home cooked food to my mother. She didn't believe in cereal and made us breakfast every morning. I think that deserves some kind of award. Pancakes were my favorite breakfast growing up and my mom made hers from scratch. To be honest, I didn't know you could buy pancake mix at the store until I went to college. I don't claim to be a fabulous cook. I just wanted a place to keep and share all the recipes I love.
My family all came together in the evenings to eat dinner. It was at this time that relationships were built and strengthened. I believe that family dinner is an important tool for cultivating love and strengthening the family. This is why I cook. This is why I share.

Chicken Broccoli Braid

Yummy recipe from my sis-in-law, Cassie!
  • 1 can crescent rolls
  • 2 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
  • 1 cup of blanched broccoli (should measure a cup after it's been cooked)
  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • grated cheese (as much as you want...I use about a cup)

  1. Mix all the ingredients (except the crescent rolls) in a bowl.

  2. Spray a cookie sheet with PAM or somethings similar and lay out rolls with pointy end out and big edges overlapping to create a base.
  3. Spoon chicken/broccoli mixture onto middle of dough. Fold the pointed edges over the top and try to tuck them in so it stays better.

  4. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 - 2o minutes, just until the bread is golden brown.
