Hey everybody!  I’m back and I have a whole new look to my blog too!!!  So why the long time, no blog?  Well…maybe a picture could explain things a little:

preg_announce_a
Yea…that’s what has been going on lately…since November.  I just couldn’t bring myself to do much cooking or anything for that matter.  I get terrible morning, noon, and night sickness.  If you follow my scrapbooking blog, then you already know all this, so scroll on down for the recipe if you’d like.

It still shocks me to write that I’m expecting my FOURTH child.  If someone would have told me 8 years ago that I would have FOUR children, I would have never believed it.  We feel blessed beyond measure!  It was such a struggle to get pregnant the first time.  We went through 2 miscarriages and months of fertility medicine.  But we finally had our first baby girl in February 2007.  It has been a wild ride since with no other fertility issues.  Again, we are blessed!!!

However, with pregnancy for me comes a horrible feeling that I can only describe as “UGH!”  My husband was so helpful throughout all of it.  My kids were such good sports too.  Our little one, who is 2, is such a daddy’s girl anyway, so she was really fine with him doing everything for her.

So needless to say, this has been a time of survival mode for me.  I was  able to do the essentials in day to day life to get by and take care of my family, but cooking and photographing food was not on the top of my list.  I’m almost 20 weeks, and I have slowly felt myself returning to normal (yes, it takes me a while).  I’m ready to get back to doing the things I love to do!

And speaking of things I love…this Crescent Chicken is one of them.  I first heard about it from a co-worker several years ago.  I was so intrigued and did some searches online for a recipe.  I made this one by combining several things I liked from some of the recipes I found.

So easy!  Hope you enjoy!

  2. Congratulations on your baby!! How exciting, although I’m sorry you have been feeling so sick. Did you know Cathy from Lemon Tree Dwelling is expecting her fourth too?

    This dinner looks amazing, and I hope you were feeling well enough to enjoy it. Thanks for the great recipe!

  3. Hi there, I just saw this recipe for the Crescent Chicken, and I was just wandering if you know if after cooking the chicken in the slow cooker and letting it cool if you could freeze it? I do my hamburger like that it makes dinner a breeze to fix. 🙂 Thanks so much for any help and for these delicious meals and also on Baby 4, hope all goes well and good luck.

    1. Hi Chelsea! I bake it at 350 degrees. Sorry about that!! I updated the recipe. Thanks so much for catching it!

  4. Hi Jaren,
    If I don’t have a slowcooker do you have another easy way to cook the chicken? and I also can’t find the link for the chicken-slowcooker method! Any help would be AWESOME! 🙂
    Thanks!

  5. So happy to find your blog. Your recipes look absolutely delicious.
    I, too, like to collect recipes and cookbooks. In fact, I think I’m
    obsessed. I look forward to trying many of your recipes and wanted
    to thank you for sharing these with all of us.
    Good luck with your new baby. By the way, you have a beautiful
    family!!! May God bless you and your lovely family.

  6. Thanks so much for a great recipe! I made this for dinner last night and it was a huge hit! I have 4 teenagers and finding a recipe that they all like (as well as dad) is almost impossible, but everyone loved this one! I was a little nervous about using pimento, because I have never used it in a recipe before, but it really did add that extra oomph and I am so happy I didn’t leave it out!
    Congratulations on baby #4!

    1. Thanks so much for letting me know Crystal!! That is one of my favorite recipes! It is so hard to please 6 people, so I am so happy it went well! I felt the same about pimento until I started using it. You’re right because it does give that extra “oomph!”

  7. This was awesome!! I halved the recipe and pan fried the chicken instead of boiling for more flavor! This was a delicious comfort meal!! I will definitely make this again!! Thanks!

    1. Thank you so much Mary! I updated the recipe to a new format a few days ago, and I apparently cut off the last few steps of the recipe! Thanks so much for letting me know!

    1. Hi Laura! I’m sorry but I do not include nutritional information on my recipes for various reasons. The calories and fat in this recipe can be lowered by using low-fat cream cheese, low-sodium cream of chicken, and reduced-fat crescent rolls. Thanks for visiting!!

  8. The recipe says “Next pour half of the soup mixture into the bottom of a casserole dish.” But it never says what to do with the other half?

    1. Hi Sue! In the Notes section, I mentioned you can serve them with the leftover soup mixture if you’d like. Sometimes people like to drizzle a little of the soup over their crescents. Thanks for visiting!

  9. I am going to try this but with the already Roasted Chicken, I would then just need to debone it and use the breasts and thighs…can’t wait to try it!
