After School Snacks

Alright! The day is done and you hear the notorious call: “We’re home and hungry.” I feel like there should be dramatic music playing. Anyway, fruit and veggies with a dip is always great. Frozen grapes on a hot afternoon is awesome. You don’t want them so full they won’t want dinner. So here’s a few ideas.

While pizza rolls are good they also have a lot of additives. Or do they. Take pizza dough and place in on a cutting board. Fill it with sauce, toppings and cheese. Remember you do have to close this up so don’t go crazy. Close and bake 350° until their almost done. Bake till done. Let these little pizza pockets cool and freeze. Place them on a cookie sheet to freeze individual pockets about an hour. Then bag up.

How about chicken wings or boneless wings. For boneless, just take tenders and cut in half. Season them, bread or batter and bake or fry at 350° (pull them out and toss in dressing if you’re going to about half way through) until done. Freeze individually on a cookie sheet before storing in bag. Then micrrowave till heated. Get your favorite dip and enjoy. (*By tossing the chicken in dressing like BBQ sauce or Baffulo sauce half way point will create a sticky coating.)

For your fridge have stuff ready for the kiddies to come in and eat. This could a salad bar kind of setup. Rollups are usually a hit snd expensive at the store. Get your tortilla pack, cream cheese, cold meat and cheese. Get the kiddies involved. Let them choose the meat and cheese they like. Hint: before you put anything like mustard on the tortilla. Spread cream cheese on it. Just a light layer to keep the tortilla from getting soggy.

Hello y'all! I have hit a point in my life that I miss the simple dishes and times that my parents grew up in. People were kind to each other and the food was homemade from scratch. Before convince food was everywhere. Oh, those were the days... Let's reclaim them and start cooking from scratch again.
