Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken
I don’t love chicken, but I do love cream cheese. Honestly, I could probably just eat cream cheese right out of the container—but I don’t (usually).

Savory Pepperoni Pizza Crescent Rolls
Sunday football is much less exciting without snacks. And this past Sunday, I was craving a savory snack that wouldn’t require too much effort.
