Chicken, Brie and Bacon Turnovers

We have tried quite a few of Rachael Ray’s Take 5 Recipes (five ingredients or less ~ but olive oil, salt, and pepper are freebies.) We had these last night and they were awesome!  Enjoy!!!
Ingredients:
• Four 6-ounce skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 2 tsp Cajun seasoning
• 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 4 oz Brie, cut lengthwise into 4 slices
• 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350° and line a rimmed baking sheet with a rack. Season the chicken with salt, pepper and the cajun seasoning. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and brown the chicken on each side for about 2 minutes; transfer to a plate and reserve the skillet. Cut the puff pastry into 4 equal pieces and roll each one out into an 8-inch square. Place a chicken breast onto each of the squares toward one corner; top each with a brie slice and 1 tablespoon bacon. Fold the pastry in half to create a triangle and pinch closed along the edges. Brush with the chicken drippings from the skillet. Using a sharp knife, make 2 small, straight cuts on top to allow the steam to vent. Bake until the chicken is cooked through, 30 to 35 minutes.  Makes 4 servings.

Spirit Week!

I'm not sure who loves Spirit Week more ~ us, or the kids!!!
Today is Twin Day!
Joshua and the dudes are in jeans and white polos...
...Hannah and Matilda matching everything
(right down to their braids, earrings, and leggings)! 

Weekend Fun!

What a whirwind of weekend fun!  Friday afternoon we shopped with Hannah's best friend for Twin Day and then had dinner with their family at Clancy's Irish Pub. On Saturday Mom, Hannah, and I had lunch and did a little shopping, and then Saturday night we had Kathy, Grandpa Bob, and Grandma Jeanette over for dinner.  Sunday we were off to lunch with Kathy, Grandma Jeanette, Kim, and Kate and then shopped for wedding dresses - fun!  Last night Dad, Mom, and Gary joined us for a dinner along with a heart-shaped red velvet cake!
