My daughter is super picky but she loves cream cheese and chicken so these stuffed crescent rolls were a big hit with her.
Tamara says
The same with my girl! I make these almost every week when I don’t know what to put in her lunch box or when she refuses to eat dinner, just because something she loved yesterday she doesn’t anymore today… ah, 3-year-olds 🤦🏻♀️ I’m glad your girl loved them, Lisa!
