Rainy Day project....

The Rain came and the finger paints came out, a little messy, but ended up with a framed end product:)

Homemade Pizza Pops

hi all,

made these home-made pizza pops I found on a blog I think. They were yummy.

Healthy Treat for Today: Homemade Pizza Pockets

These Pizza Pockets are a perfect treat that you can make ahead put in the freezer…then throw in the oven at lunchtime.


Crust

3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 t. sea salt
1 cup melted butter
1 cup plain yogurt

Stir ingredients together until thoroughly mixed.

Pizza Sauce

1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
1/2 t. garlic powder
1 1/2 t. oregano
1 1/2 t. basil

Stir together and simmer for a few minutes.

Pizza Pocket Fillings

Grated mozzarella or white cheddar cheese, cooked hamburger, pepperoni, olives, peppers, mushrooms

To form a Pizza Pocket

Roll a small ball of dough into a circle. Place one tablespoon of pizza sauce in the center. Put in a small amount of your choice of toppings. Fold the dough in half. Use a fork to pinch the edges together.

Lay Pizza Pockets on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for about one hour. Pop them off the cookie sheet and put them into a freezer bag…and back into the freezer.


Bake your Pizza Pockets

For frozen Pizza Pockets, bake in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes. If the Pizza Pockets are thawed, bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

I love the convenience of this nutritious ”fast food”! Serve them with fruit and veggies(God’s fast food!)…and you’ve got yourself a quick and easy lunchtime treat!!

I didn’t make it entirely with brown flour as I find sometimes can be too strong.

Thai caramelised chicken

diced up chicken breasts or thighs
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup sugar (I used 1/4 cup and it was still yummy)
2 small red chillies (less if you don't want spicy)
2 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp lime juice


put soy, sugar chillies, fish sauce, lime juice in frying pan over medium heat and cook until it thickens. Put the cut up chicken in the pan and cook until done.

This was really good, I served it with rice and broccoli. The recipe called for pork, so I'm sure pork would taste good also!

heidi cooks.... shocking!!!

so i was feeling creative yesterday and made up a yummy dinner. don't know what to call it but i felt like Shepard's pie and tacos so this was my creation....
ground chicken browned with taco seasoning then mixed with black beans, corn, peas, salsa and cheese. then pour the chicken & veg mix into a lasagna dish and pour prepared cornmeal muffin batter over top and cook at 350 for 30 minutes. then we put sour cream and salsa on top. very messy but we all including Bayli loved it.
