Ingredients:

 1 cup dry 5-minute oats
1 cup water
1/2 cup skim milk
About 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 or 2 tablespoons natural creamy peanut butter
1 or 2 tablespoons your favorite jelly
Kosher salt to taste

Process:

1) Combine oats, water, and milk in a small pot. Heat over medium.

2) After a minute or two, add vanilla extract, peanut butter, jelly, and salt to taste. Stir to combine, though the peanut butter will gradually melt into the mixture as the oatmeal heats up. Cook a few minutes, stirring occasionally.

3) When the oatmeal reaches your desired consistency, taste it. If you’d like a little more of either PB or J, add it in.

4) Serve, and wonder why you’re not eating this for every meal.

My good friend from Texas made these while I visited and they were great. I made them back home and they were great again! A very easy recipe with just a few ingredients.

Ingredients-
3 chicken breasts
1 package cream cheese
1 package crescent rolls (8 rolls)
1 package green onion

Directions-
Boil the chicken breast until cooked, chop into tiny peices, chop green onion (as much or little as desired), mix green onion, chicken, and cream cheese in a bowl. Mixture should resemble chicken salad thickness. On a pan press the crescent rolls open so they are in the triangle shape, press them out so they are a little flatter than usual. Put a scoop of the chicken salad in the middle of the crescent triangle, fold up all the sides so the chicken salad is completely covered. Bake at 375 until the crescent rolls are a golden brown and enjoy. Depending on the amount of mixture more crescent rolls may be needed.
