Sing a Sad Song

On the Next Episode . . .

. . . of Adventures of Cooking with Whitney, Whitney makes an original recipe! Chicken Cordon Bleu in a Biscuit is a wonderful twist on a classic recipe. Created while Whitney was standing at her register at work with no customers in the entire store, it is inexpensive, easy, and delicious. This is what boredom creates!

Chicken Cordon Bleu in a Biscuit

2 chicken breasts (chicken)

2 cans of crescent rolls (cheap option [CO]: Western Family Crescent Rolls, original)

1 can cream of chicken soup

Swiss cheese (CO: Western Family Swiss Singles)

Ham (CO: Western Family thinly sliced ham)

milk

Preheat oven to 375*. Cut the chicken into cubes, big enough for one to each roll. Cook the chicken in the microwave until cooked through. While the chicken in cooking, pop open the crescent rolls. Make sure no one is around because when it pops open unexpectedly and you drop it on the ground, you feel kind of stupid (not that I would know . . .). Keep the rolls in squares instead of separating them into triangles, so you should have 4 squares from each can. Take the swiss singles and put one half on each crescent roll square. Then put the ham on top. Next, take the cream of chicken soup and mix it with 1/3 can of milk. When the chicken is completely cooked, place a piece on top of the ham and spoon a dollop of cream of chicken soup on top. Not all of the soup will be used. Fold the crescent rolls over and put on a greased cookie sheet. Stick in the oven for 11-13 minutes, until golden brown. And voila! You're done!

One Hundred!

For my hundredth post I decided to blog about the coolest thing I know.

My big brother, Neil, is going on a mission. He got his call today and he enters the MTC on November 4th to prepare to go to the Dominican Republic and teach the gospel.

I can't think of anything cooler for my 100th post.

Love you, Neil and I'm so proud and excited!

Book Binding

I made a book out of old maps and ribbon! Cool!

One more until my hundredth post . . .

Sharing the Joy of Cooking

I decided that I wanted to learn how to make Beans and Rice. So I looked up some recipes, but I didn't really find one that seemed appealing. Therefore, I took the things I liked and made a new recipe! Here it is!

Whitney's Beans and Rice

1 can black beans (any kind of beans would probably work)
1 can corn (or frozen), drained.
½ onion
½ red or green pepper (I used red for the color)
2 small cloves of garlic
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp cayenne pepper
½ tsp curry powder
Rice, cooked (I used four cups of water, two cups rice. My rice was a mix between white and brown)
olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste (optional)

Cook rice. While the rice is cooking, chop up the onion, pepper, and garlic. Heat the olive oil and put in the previous ingredients to cook. When the garlic is browned and the onion is transparent, pour in the beans (do not drain!!) and the corn (drained). Mix everything together well. Then add the spices. If it seems too thick, add in a little more water. Pour over rice and you're done!!

If you like a spicier flavor, up the spices to 1 tsp each. (This is what I did the first time and it was pretty spicy!)

Daddy's Day

There's not much to say except this:

My Dad could totally beat up your dad!

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!
