Meal Planner Mondah

Hey everybody! Boy am I getting to this late! I have a great excuse though_ I just received the first part of my DNA test back from 23 and Me!! Yay. Well, I found that I'm 100 % European  (I figured that) but I found that I'm the not so common haplogroup K or more specifically K1a3a1! On the surface this seems boring, but it's actually really cool because haplogroup K comes from the near east! Whew Who!!

So while I figure out which Babylonian Princess I'm desended come from, here's your Monday meal planner.

Chicken Tarts--So Easy & Good

Ingredients:

1 pkg chicken tenderloins (or if you're feeling lazy shredded rotisserie chicken meat or canned chicken)

1/2 pkg cream cheese (I use light)

1/4 c mayo (again I use light)

Seasoning blend (I usually use seasoned salt or my fav Jane's Crazy Salt)

1 egg, beaten

1 pkg crescent rolls (yet again reduced fat for this girl)

Chopped pecans (optional)

Cook chicken & cut into bite size pieces.  Mix w/ cream cheese & mayo; add seasoning to taste.  Mix in pecans. Divide crescent rolls into squares. Place chicken mixture in center; fold each corner to top to make "tart."  Brush w/ beaten egg and bake according to crescent roll directions.

VOILA!  How easy was that?!  And so good.  You can mix this up to your taste though, try different seasonings like pepper, paprika, basil or add in cheese or onions.  It really is a versatile recipe as well--yet another reason to love it.
