Make your spaghetti as usual but add 4 ounces of cream cheese. You'll thank me!!
Cheesy Bacon Bites
4 servings

1 8 ounce can refrigerated crescent rolls
1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
2 tablespoons chopped onion (I use green onions)
3 ounces softened cream cheese
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Mix bacon, onion, cream cheese and pepper together. Remove crescent rolls from package and leave in the shape of two rectangles, pressing together triangle seams. Spread mixture over the rectangular shapes and roll long-ways. Cut each roll into 16 pieces and place on cookie sheet. bake at 350 for 15 minutes until lightly brown. Serve warm and enjoy!

These are awesome. We eat them for breakfast a lot.

Jessica Simpsons Chicken and Dumplings

Jessica Simpson's Chicken and Dumplings
6 servings

3 tubes croissant rolls
1 small rotisserie chicken, skin discarded and meat removed from bones
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup chicken broth
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste


Preheat oven to 400ยบ. Roll out the cans of croissant sheets and separate into diamond shaped sections. Place a small handful of rotisserie chicken on each diamond, fold dough over and press ends together to create dumplings. Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with one layer of dumplings. Combine soups and chicken broth; pour over dumplings. Season with salt and pepper and bake until the dumplings are tender and cooked through and the top is brown and bubbly - about 30 minutes. (I laid foil across my pan about halfway though, because the dumplings were browning too quickly.)

Hurry-up Ham-N-Noodles

Hurry-up Ham-N-Noodles

Ingredients
*5 to 6 cups uncooked wide egg noodles (I used 6 cups and it was too much noodle and I think any kind of noodle would work good)
*1/4 cup butter, cubed
*1 cup heavy whipping cream
*1-1/2 cups julienned fully cooked ham (I used can chicken that I sauteed with mushrooms and seasoned with seasoning salt, black pepper, chili powder and garlic)
*1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
*1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
*1/4 teaspoon salt (I never add salt to anything because I use seasoning salt)
*1/8 teaspoon pepper

DirectionsCook noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Gradually whisk in cream. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir for 2 minutes longer or until thickened.Add the ham, cheese, onions, salt and pepper; cook, uncovered, until heated through. Drain noodles; add to ham mixture. Toss to coat; heat through. Yield: 4 servings.

Alfredo Pizza

Tonight I tried something totally from my brain. I got the idea from the Olive Garden's Chicken Alfredo Pizza. Mr. Giggles requested a dinner without meat so this is what I came up with.

Alfredo Pizza
1/4 cup butter
1 cup whipping cream
onion (to your liking)
mushrooms
1/2 Parmesan cheese

Melt butter in skillet with onions. Once onions are soft, add whipping cream and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes stirring frequently. Lower flame to medium, add mushrooms and cheese and stir til cheese is melted.

I used a Pillsbury pizza dough and spread it out on a cookie sheet and then topped with alfredo mix and mozzarella cheese mix. Cook at 350 for approximately 15 minutes or until crust is brown.

Swiss 'n Chicken Casserole

I make this casserole pretty often because Mr. Giggles really likes it. This time I invited my Dad over to eat and he liked it too. I like it too but it is not my most favorite food in the world. The leftovers are pretty tasty too. I hope you enjoy. This is a Kraft recipe.

What You Need
4 cups chopped cooked chicken (I use canned chicken sauteed with onions and mushrooms)
2 cups Croutons
1-1/2 cups KRAFT Shredded Swiss Cheese
2/3 cup MIRACLE WHIP Dressing
1/2 cup Milk
4 stalks Celery, sliced (I omit because neither Mr. Giggles or I can stand it!)
1/4 cup chopped onions

Make It
HEAT oven to 350°F.
COMBINE ingredients - I save some of the cheese and put it on top
SPOON into 2-qt. casserole.
BAKE 40 min. or until heated through.
