Cheesy Chicken Dip with Mini Croissants

A couple of weekends ago I thought Hmm, what should I make for everyone as a grazing snack, one we can pick at all day. So I looked at what I had in the fridge and whipped this up. I call it Cheesy Chicken Dip with Mini Croissants. It was so yummy, you have to try it!!

Here are the ingredients with measurements:

• Garlic Salt 1 tsp.
• Onion Powder 1 tsp.
• Ground Black Pepper 1 tsp.
• Sea Salt 1 tsp.
• Margarine 1 tbsp.
• Parmesan Cheese 1/4 cup

• Croissant Rolls X2 (any size doesn’t matter)
  
• 2 slices American Cheese (for creaminess)
• Fiesta Blend Cheese 8 oz. (whole pack)
  
  • Grilled Chicken Breast Strips (cut up into bite sized pieces)
• Milk 1/4 cup
• Whipped Cream Cheese 3 tbsp.
• Sour Cream 2 tbsp.
  

   Directions for Mini Croissants:

• Preheat Oven to prepackaged directions
• After rolling out dough cut Croissants into mini triangles about an inch in diameter with pizza cutter, so easy that way!!
• Spread out onto cookie sheet and put into preheated oven. Bake for ONLY a couple of minutes they bake very fast. Mine took about 3-4 minutes so watch the stove the whole time or they will burn. Shown below is what they look like when they come out, puffed and crispy on the bottom. You don’t even have to use a spatula, you just tap the cookie sheet against the top of stove and they pop off.
  

     Now for the Cheese Dip Directions:

• Start adding butter, milk, whipped cream cheese and sour cream, stir with whisk until no lumps left, then dump Fiesta Cheese bag, American Cheese, and Parmesan cheese into pot and bring up to medium high heat, stir until all incorporated.

• Next add chicken chunks, stir again.
• Lastly add in the salt, pepper, garlic salt, and onion powder
• Cook until all the way melted and hot
• This is how it looks after it’s all cooked

   Ok this is so yummy, can I tell you.

 

The finished product, I left it in the mini crock pot I use for dips and man it was amazing. High in calories but the diet starts tomorrow, lol. Well I hope that you try this recipe. It’s so great for a Football party, cold day, Holiday, or just because! Have fun and hey, let me know if you tried it, would love to know what you think, so comment below!! PS: One tip I’d like to add is make more croissant rolls because they go so quickly so I would double the amount to 4 roll tubes.

Enjoy! ~Christina

Day 3 CHALLENGE Lavender & Lemon Sea Salt Scrub for Hands and Nails

Being the bath/body product lover that I am. I have supplies to make my own goodies for 1/3 of the cost. I was a Practicing Licensed Cosmetologist, for 10 years (glorified term for hairdresser) and although I earned the long title, I only do this on the side now with family and friends. Will I ever go back, well, you never do know. Here is my version of a Lavender & Lemon scented Sea Salt Scrub for Hands and Nails. Supplies: Sea Salt- @Grocery Store, Extra Virgin Olive Oil- @Grocery Store, Sweet Almond Oil-@ www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com, Lavender Lemon Fragrance Oil-@ www.wholesalesupplies.com and container to hold product-@ Grocery Store. I used a Glad mini bowl with lid.

INGREDIENTS:

Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a healthy oil because of its monounsaturated Omega 9 properties and Polyphenol content, which is a wonderful antioxidant helping to fight against skin disease, firming up the skin, and also beautifying it.

Sweet Almond Oil helps to condition the skin to a natural glow. It has a high concentration of oleic and linoleic essential fatty acids, providing instant relief of muscle pain.

Sea Salt can help with tightening, deeper cleansing, and smoothing of the skin, because the granuals of salt help slough off the the dead skin cells in exfoliation.

Fragrance: Lavender Lemon, for smelling fresh and wonderful.

 DIRECTIONS: 

Add Salt to 2/3 Full in container



then add half Sweet Almond Oil 1/3



Add half EVOO 1/3, making 2/3 Oil total

  

Add Lavender & Lemon Fragrance Oil

 

Mix well again and apply to hand

DIRECTIONS FOR APPLICATION:

Make sure hands are cleaned and free of any cuts, (salt in a wound, well, burns), now you scoop a teaspoon of Salt Scrub onto hands rub for about 30 seconds into hands, around cuticles and on callouses. Turn on water to warm temp and rinse until salt is off, but leave

some oil on, dab hands off with towel. Rub rest of oil into hands, may be a little greasy at first but the hands will absorb throughout the day. Smell them, ahhh! Feels good, huh?! Now if you want to, you could turn it into a mini manicure. Have fun and go pamper your hands

now.
