Best breakfast of all time

So my mom got this recipe from work, some lady brought this in and Mom demanded the recipe. Anyways... there are a few names it has been called: cream cheese sausage thingies, dirty diapers (you'll see why), and Christmas morning breakfast. Mom usually makes the sausage mixture the night before to save time in the morning.

What you need:
Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage (1 tube)
Cream cheese (1 8oz block, softened)
Pillsbury crescent rolls (1 tube)

What you do:
Open cream cheese and put into a medium mixing bowl.
Brown the sausage in a medium skillet. Drain grease.
Mix browned sausage with soft cream cheese.
(This is where you can stop if you made the mixture the night before)
Preheat oven to 350
Next, open up the crescent rolls.
Pull one crescent apart and add one spoonful of sausage mixture.
Roll it up (picture will show you.)
Continue until there are no more crescent rolls; eat leftover sausage mixture.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips and tricks:
Easily double this recipe for an event in the morning.
You can add salsa if you'd like.
You can also make this into a "loaf" to avoid the diaper look.

Neglect

So I neglected the blog this week :(  Sorry about that. This week I will try to post 2 recipes,  but I guarantee that there will be one. I've been busy with work and school and personal stuff so I forgot.

Microwave popcorn

I found a post on pinterest (link to the blog coming soon) about how to make microwave popcorn at home. Its super simple and works great!

What you need:
1/3 cup popcorn kernels
1 brown paper bag
Popcorn toppings (whatever you prefer)

What you do:
Measure out 1/3 cup of kernels and add them to your brown paper bag
Fold the top down twice
Microwave for 2 minutes with folded side of bag facing down
Add toppings
Enjoy!

That is it! I tried this tonight with my boyfriend (see lovely picture) and we enjoyed it a lot. Now we can make fun flavored popcorn!

Chicken salad

I got this recipe from the lady at the deli in Giant. She said that this is how they make the chicken salad they sell. Since making it was much cheaper, I got all the stuff and everyone who has had this said that it is some of the best chicken salad they've had.

What you need:
Mayo
Celery
Onions (I prefer sweet onion but white onion works as well)
Garlic salt
1 Rotisserie chicken

What you do:
Rip apart the chicken (you can cut it too, just make sure the pieces are small enough)
Dice the celery and onion into small pieces
Combine chicken and veggies in a container and add some mayo (add a little mayo, then add more to your liking)
Sprinkle a dash of garlic salt and mix well.
Enjoy

Tips and tricks:
For extra flavor, make it the night before you plan on eating it so all the flavors have time to mingle.
Eat plain, make sanwhiches, wraps (with tortillas or lettuce), whatever.
Tastes great warm and cold (only eat warm with a fresh rotisserie chicken)
Can be made fancier with grapes, c/raisins, or chopped nuts. But it is still good plain. 

I have made this using leftover baked chicken from my other recipe. But I think it is better with rotisserie chicken.

Baked whole chicken

Making this for dinner is my favorite!

What you need:
1 oven stuffer whole chicken (perdue brand is good)
Season salt

What you do:
Preheat oven to 350
Open chicken and remove gizzards; rinse thoroughly.
Put the chicken in a glass baking pan (9x13 works well)
Bake for 21/2-3 hours depending on size
Enjoy

Tips and tricks:
You can use any type of seasoning you want but we use lawry's season salt.
If you have a recipe that calls for chicken gizzards, you can save them.
Most chickens come with a popper that tells you when it is done so you don't have to guess.

Cake batter chocolate chip cookies

Looking for a sweet treat? These are awesome. This is my best recipe. Everyone loves these cookies. They all ask me for the recipe so I decided to share it. These cookies smell and taste amazing. This was a recipe I got from my grandmother, but I don't know where she got it.

Things you need:
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1 box cake mix (best to use yellow cake but if you want chocolate cake, use 3/4 cup oil because those cookies are drier)
Chips (no, not potato chips. Chocolate, peanut butter, butterscotch, whatever you like)

What to do:
Get a big bowl to mix in and preheat the oven to 350ºf.
Add your cake mix to the bowl, then the oil and eggs.
Mix using a scraping spatula until you have a thick dough.
Add your chips, use as little or as much as you want but only add a little at a time so that they are mixed in well.
Get out your cookie sheet and use a regular spoon to scoop balls of dough to make your cookies.
Put them into the oven for 8 minutes then check to make sure they are done. They might need more time to cook but don't cook them too long because the bottom will burn.

Tips and tricks:
Like most cookies, they won't look done on the top but they will be done on the bottom. When they are completely cooked on the bottom, it is time to take them out because if you wait for the tops to be done, the bottom will burn.
Don't make them too big because they expand while baking.
Do not use all the dough at once, this makes up to 2 dozen cookies.
Make the cookies somewhat small so you will have lots of them.
I have never tried these with any fruit or anything in these but that might be good too.
These cookies are totally customizable so try every combination of flavors possible. I've even seen sprinkles added into the dough to make festive birthday cookies.

Party punch

I usually try to post on Wednesday, sorry for the tardiness, and lack of pictures but this recipe is so easy you don't need them. I'm currently out of town so this week's Wednesday post may come late as well.

This is a no brainer. I always asked for this punch for my birthday parties when I was a kid and it was always a hit.

What you need :
1 2 liter bottle of sprite or ginger ale (not 12 liters...)
1 quart of vanilla ice cream
1/2 gallon of raspberry sherbert

What you do:
Pour contents into a punch bowl and mix gently
Enjoy

Tips and tricks:
You can try new flavors of sherbert, get funky with it.
Mix flavors of sherbert (and while doing so say "I do what I want")
You can also make rootbeer float punch in the same way, just use vanilla ice cream and rootbeer.

This picture isn't mine but this is basically what it looks like.
