 These past few weeks have worn me out.  I know I’m not alone.  Don’t you just love the simplicity that the new year brings?  It always feels so good to stop all the excess of the holidays and trim down in all areas of life.  I often find myself thinking about what rooms I can clean out or what things I’d like to change.  It really is a great feeling to start fresh.

With our busy school schedule, one of the must-dos is to keep our suppers simple around here.   And sometimes the planning is half the battle.  Well I love these Crescent Taco Chicken Pinwheels because they are made with ingredients I almost always have on hand.  This is perfect if you are like me here lately and need a quick idea because you just can’t make it to the store that day.

For us, this is a Thursday night kind of meal.  That’s the night where we are usually out of leftovers and need something small to make for just that one night.  If you are only serving a small family, go ahead and half the recipe.

And if you need a quick snack or appetizer idea, these little beauties are the perfect answer!  They really are perfect for parties.  Who doesn’t love a crescent roll and cream cheese?  In fact, I’ve never met a recipe with a crescent roll that I didn’t like.  And I never turn down anything Mexican! With only a few ingredients,  you’ve got one good little snack!

The recipe makes quite a few, so I made one batch with chopped black olives and one without them.  That way everyone is happy around here.  Enjoy this super simple little recipe next time you need a simple snack or supper idea!
