Whats for Dinner: Crescent Pizza Pockets

One of my goals for the year is to involve the kids more when I cook. I have learned that if they help, they know what they are eating and are more likely to try new foods.  So as I browsed the net to find something easy fix and something that is kid friendly. I came across a recipie for Cresent Pizza Pockets by Pilsbury.  I didn’t follow the recipie exactly, but I stayed pretty close to it.  Here is what I used:
INGREDIENTS
1can (8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

1tbl sp  pizza sauce (per pocket)

 shredded mozzarella cheese

Shredded sharp chedder cheese

 sliced pepperoni

I took the cresent rolls one at a time and rolled them in a ball. I took one ball put a little flower on the counter and my little rolling pin and rolled it in a circle shape.

I placed the ingredients in the middle of the dough. Try to make sure you have enough dough on the edges to piece together.



I gently pulled the dough as I closed up the pocket and pinched it around the ends.



To make it look pretty I took a fork to give the edges the pleated look, and then with the chedder cheese I made the initials of the girls on the pockets they made. I let the pockets cook for 13 minutes (I let the pockets cool for a bit, because my girls are younger and I didn’t want them to burn themselves). Along with the pockets I severed a salad with a side of corn. I have to say that this was an easy meal to make and the girls loved to help out with it.  If you have and simple recipies that you would like to share I would love to hear from you! Enjoy!

    I have never done this with cresent rolls but often do this with Pillsbury Big Biscuits. We actually had these last night for dinner. I also like to use chicken. Yum Yum Yum! The kids always have fun helping make dinner. It's a great way to get them to working together and communicating, which is sometimes difficult!

    This sounds like a fun way to get my 2 year old involved in the kitchen! Thanks for sharing it!

Chuck E Cheese's New Pizza Recipe Review and Giveaway

Image
If your kids are anything like my own they know what are where Chuck E. Cheese is. After my daughters first visit we made detours to avoid driving by because she would cry wanting to stop by. So when I told her that we have the opportunity to review Chuck E. Cheese's new pizza recipe she was more then thrilled.  We were sent the Guest pass that gave us  a large pizza, 4 drinks and 30 tokens. This was more then enough for us to share, so we brought along my cousin and her little boy as well. Anytime we go to Chuck E. Cheese I also check my email to see the latest coupons they have, if you haven't already you can sign up for their news letter here. I'm a big fan when it comes to their pizza, so when I got the email I didn't think there was any way to improve something so good. Boy was I wrong. We ordered half cheese and half pepperoni. I could tell the sauce had a richer flavor and the crust was thinner (I'm a huge friend of thin crust). Not o...
