Ham & Cheese Crescent Roll-Ups

My sister made these & sent me the recipe. The family loved them. They are quick & perfect for those nights when the family is running all over town for baseball, soccer, dance, etc. Add some soup & you have dinner.

Ingredients
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
8 thin slices cooked ham (8 oz)
4 thin slices Cheddar cheese (4 oz), each cut into 4 strips
Directions
Heat oven to 350°F. Separate dough into 8 triangles. Place 1 piece of ham on each triangle; place 2 strips of cheese down center of ham. Fold in edges of ham to match shape of dough triangle.
Roll up each crescent, ending at tip of triangle. Place with tips down on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 15 to 19 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Serve warm.

Chicken Salad

If you like chicken salad, I promise you will like sinking your teeth into this. These are great for parties, showers & family get togethers.

Ingredients
6 chicken breasts or 3 large cans of chunk chicken breast
2 tbsp vinegar (white or red wine)
1/4 c onion, finely chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 c mayonnaise
2 tbsp mustard
Salt & pepper, to taste
Seedless grapes (green or red), sliced in half
Cashews or slivered almonds

Directions
If using fresh chicken, boil chicken for 30 minutes. Let cool & cut into bite size pieces. If using canned chicken, drain chicken. Toss chicken with vinegar. Add onion & celery. Toss. Add mayo, mustard, salt & pepper. Toss. Add grapes & toss. Add nuts right before serving. I like to serve on the small croissants.
