As a child, Laura Bradford fell in love with writing over a stack
of blank paper, a box of crayons, and a freshly sharpened number two pencil.
From that moment forward, she never wanted to do or be anything else. Today,
Laura is the national bestselling author of several mystery series, including
the Amish Mysteries, the Emergency Dessert Squad Mysteries, the Jenkins &
Burns Mysteries, and the Tobi Tobias Mystery Series. Her first women's fiction
novel, Portrait of a Sister, was the July 2018 book club pick for Delilah (of
Delilah radio). Her next novel, A Daughter’s Truth, will release May 28th.

Buffalo Chicken/Cheese Wheels with Dipping Sauce
From the kitchen of Laura Bradford
I am a pretty basic eater. I like my meat, I like my bread,
and I love my desserts. In fact, when I
was little, my favorite thing to eat (according to my mom…my uncle…my aunt…)
was “bread and water.”
Odd, perhaps, but maybe it was really just a little
foreshadowing for my career today—one that has me dabbling in crime a few times
a year.
Either way, I thought I’d share an appetizer recipe my
daughter and I tweaked to our liking earlier this month. It’s pretty basic,
cooks up quickly, and it’s really, really good.
Buffalo Chicken/Cheese Wheels (with dipping sauce)
Ingredients:
1 can refrigerated crescent dough in a sheet
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 tablespoon Buffalo wing sauce
3 ounces of cooked chicken mean (cut small or shredded) I
use the Perdue Chicken cuts
For Dip:
1 cup ranch dressing
1 tablespoon buffalo wing sauce
Instructions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line large cookie sheet with
parchment paper.
Unroll dough on cutting board.
In small bowl, beat cream cheese, cheddar cheese and buffalo
sauce with an electric mixer. Spread
Mixture on dough just shy of edges. Sprinkle with cooked chicken.
Starting with the long side, roll dough, pressing edges to
seal. Turn rolled dough so the seam is down and cut into slices. Place on
cookie sheet about 2 inches apart!
Bake 15-20 minutes (watch carefully) until the edges are
golden brown.
In small bowl, stir dressing and buffalo wing sauce for
dipping.
Enjoy!
