💬 Reader prompt: Are you team “crescent rolls belong at breakfast” or team “crescent rolls deserve dinner glory”?
We love to try new things in the house, within reason. My brother Zac is always getting us to try new things and most of the time they are delicious, he’s got an awesome taste.
I’ve always been a picky eater but Matt has made me branch out. A little. However, sometimes you just need something familiar and delicious and easy. Warning this is kind of a rich meal, make sure to put some veggies on this plate.
It’s super delicious and makes you feel like home. Chicken Crescent rolls were always one of my favorite meals, these are a little for cheesy than the ones we use to make, but delicious!
