Charlotte came home from school the other day and announced that she’s learning about Abraham Lincoln at school. Truman’s face lit up. “Yeah! That guy was watching a movie and another guy came up behind him and shot him in the head. They tried to save him but, (shoulder shrug) he didn’t make it.” How disturbing is it that the only fact my 3-year-old knows about the greatest president is that he was murdered?? I feel like zero Abraham Lincoln facts would be better than bloody murderous facts. Little boys’ obsession with killing and dying is seriously weird sometimes. Also sometimes it’s hilarious.
My mom used to make these Chicken Rolls for us all the time growing up. My brother mentioned them in passing, and I thought to myself, oh, she must have made them when he was little, because I don’t remember them. (We’re 11 years apart.) But then I made these and could totally remember the taste of them. It was so weird, because I had no memory of the recipe at all (not that I was interested in cooking when I was a kid…) but my tongue totally remembered, and it had me feeling all nostalgic.
It’s hard not to like these rolls. They are in the little cookbook that my mom put together for each of us when we left for college, but I never bothered to make them because 1) I didn’t remember them and 2) they called for canned mushrooms. Like, gross. Fresh mushrooms are bad enough (I’m trying to get over this. Look I even posted Stuffed Mushrooms once. They’re legit.) But canned??
I promise, it works in this recipe. You chop them up and add them to cream cheese, so no weird texture issues to deal with. It just adds nice subtle flavor. It’s not overwhelming, I promised. (“I know you can be overwhelmed, and I know you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be… whelmed?” “I think you can in Europe!” Please someone tell me you know this movie.) If you make any of my recipes, share it on Instagram using the hashtag #TheFoodCharlatan so I can see it! I love that.
