Boil leeks until just cooked and add all natural, unsweetened apple sauce at end.  Tastes really good as veg side

Do not eat any cereals sugared (sorry)

one of the best cereals is original shredded wheat with fat free milk and wonderful sweetener just chopped banana.

one of the best cereals is original shredded wheat with fat free milk and wonderful sweetener just chopped banana.

1 lb chicken, cooked and chopped ( I used 2 cups )

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

8 crescent rolls

3/4 cup milk

1 can cream of chicken soup

Combine soup and milk.  Pour into a 9 x 13 baking dish.  Mix chicken with 1/2 cup cheese.  Put chicken mixture in center of each crescent and roll up the crescent and place onto the soup mixture.  Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or till golden brown.  Then top crescents with the remaining cheese and bake 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.  We love cheese in this family, so I use a little more cheese then this recipe calls for.

Microwave Popcorn Recipe

Instead of buying microwave popcorn bags, you can make your own. Take a brown paper bag (the old fashioned kind like you used to use for lunch). And two small handfuls of popcorn, no oil, and tape closed. Regular scotch tape works. Use the regular popcorn setting on your microwave, or listen for it to stop popping for 3-5 seconds. Open carefully, it's hot and steamy. Add your own toppings and enjoy!

Angie... I combined your with mine and you get Yummy Carmel Corn... All from the microwave!... Kathy
