TUESDAY: Whole Grains
I love coupons! However, there are a few items I will never cut a coupon for. Fruit snacks, pop tarts, pizza rolls, and hot pockets! There is no place for any of those items in our kitchen.
Hot pockets appeal to kids however, so we made our own. Using my whole wheat pizza dough recipe (which is so fast by the way). I started the dough at 4:00, and we were eating by 5:30. I used whole wheat for a portion of the flour, and to add another grain, I used ground oats (made it into oat flour). I did this in a wheat grinder, but you can also do it in your regular blender.
Making the calzones/ hot pockets was simple, even the kids could be involved. I gave them each a small ball of pizza dough. They pressed it out, or rolled with a rolling pin. We added some shredded chicken, mushrooms, celery, and mozarella cheese. Folded it over, and brushed an egg white mixture over the top. They were pretty great.
Ketchup boy would only eat his with ketchup! What fillings would your kids like?
