Pizza Poppers

Remember the Basic Bread Recipe I posted?
Super easy and delicious....
Yep that's the one!

I've got some pizza popper pictures for you, using that recipe. Follow the link & use half the recipe to make 2 (9x13) pans full.

Grab a chunk of dough.

 I made these ones a tad larger than normal just for kicks, but I usually make them smaller than this one.

 Flatten the dough out a bit and slice up some mozzarella string cheese (or shredded) to put inside.

Cut up some ham or pepperoni if you prefer and put that in there too.

Add in other toppings if you like...

I've only made them with meat and cheese because I heard that the sauce makes them soggy. 

Better without sauce for the kids anyway. 

Less of a mess is good. ;)

My hubs and I like the sauce on the side for dipping.

So just roll them up and rise on a 9x13 pan for a bit. 

You may spoon on some melted butter. Then sprinkle with garlic powder and Parmesan cheese for a garlic bread taste. 

Bake at 375* for 18 minutes or until golden and done.

 There you have it. The Pizza Popper!! 

I like making these babies because they are super easy and we love them. They are good hot or cold. Also, it's a good meal for when your running late and gotta eat on the go. Just send the kids with one or two out the door! 

Its a keeper.

Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Supershake

I really like this shake. My kids do too! I have made it many times. You really don't need to measure. Like most shakes just add ingredients to your liking and desired consistency. 

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2-1 c. ice
• 1 banana
• 1/2-1 c. blueberries
• 2 T. peanut butter
• 1-2 T. honey
• 1/3 c. quick oats
• 1 c. milk
• 2 scoops berry ice cream or yogurt (optional)

DIRECTIONS: Blend until smooth. Original recipe has 2 bananas, but I just use 1 frozen banana. It's fine without the yogurt or ice cream also.
