Crepes- savory

1 1/2 C  Flour
1  TB sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 C milk
2  Eggs
 1/2 tsp vanilla
2  TB  melted Butter

Mix all ingredients in a blender.  Chill for at least 30 minutes.  (don't ask me how to cook them- I am not good at that.)

Cook crepes in pan- then fill with desired fruit, nutella, jams, etc.  Roll up and serve with a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Chicken Pockets

Cooked Chicken- cubed
 (I prefer to boil chicken breasts in seasoned water)
prepared stuffing
grated cheese (usually cheddar)
crescent roll dough

chicken gravy-

Quantities will depend on how many you are serving.

I use 3 pkgs of rolls- and four chicken breasts- and two (6 serving) pks of stuffing mix- and this makes 24 pockets.

separate crescent roll dough into sections-  fold up the longer end and then smosh it flatter into a triangle shape slightly larger than it was when you sectioned it.

In center of dough- place a spoonful of stuffing, a spoonful of chicken meat, and a sprinkling of grated cheese.  Pull up the corners and pinch together, then pinch edges of dough together, closing in the stuffing mixture.  Bake on a baking sheet at 375* for approx 10-15 min (follow the directions on the rolls- with a minute or two extra)

Top with more grated cheese and serve with gravy.

You can make these up-  then freeze them before you bake.  After frozen, place in a freezer bag or container- then pull out what you need, thaw for 30 min or so, and bake a little longer than you would normally.  All ingredients are pre-cooked, so they just need to be heated through.
