Pockets

To make a pizza pocket:

Mix bisquick according to recipe for biscuits on back of box. (or use any other biscuit recipe you like)
Roll out the biscuits very flat.
Place on top of half of the biscuits pizza ingredients (e.g. sauce, cheese, pepperoni, pepper).
Place second half of biscuits on top, pinch sides together.
Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes until they look like done biscuits.

Tonight, we made taco pockets. We had leftover taco meat mozzarella cheese, and spinach to put in them. Yeah, I guess that's kind of weird. But yummy.

The other great thing is that you can make a bunch and freeze the leftovers and reheat them later in the toaster oven. Much cheaper and yummier than a store bought hot pocket.

And they can be packed for picnics.

I'm thinking I should make some peanut butter and jelly pockets for lunches sometime.

As you wish...

Heather posted a princess bride meme, asking blog readers to post there favorite line from the princess bride.

Mine is:

"He's only mostly dead!"

Now let's see yours.



Lots going on lately.

I've made 8 jars of applesauce.

I finished reading little house on the prairie to the children.

And I am so exhausted!

Banana Muffins

So, this recipe is a modified version of one I found on the all recipes site (I think):
1 1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
dash of salt
3 bananas, mashed (it will work with fewer bananas)
3/4 c sugar (the recipe calls for white, I've used a combination of white and brown)
1 egg
1/3 cup oil
cinnamon to taste

Preheat oven 375 F
Mix wet ingredients == bananas, sugar, oil
Mix dry ingredients == everything else
Mix wet into dry

Put into greased muffin tins and bake 18-20 minutes

In addition to experimenting with different types of sugar and quantity of bananas and cinnamon, I've also added a little bit of flax seed with the flour, or this last time I used half wheat flour and half white flour.
