In Between…..

Sometimes it IS just this simple.

Sometimes you can bring a smile to your child’s face as easy as this.

Sometimes all it takes is a few minutes, a few ingredients and a little help from Pillsbury.

Sometimes we need to let all of our pre-conceived notions about food presentation and recipe conception fly out the window.

Sometimes you just want things to be simple.

Sometimes YOU want to be the Rock Star.

Sometimes you just don’t have the energy or time.

Sometimes it IS just this simple.

I make something from time to time that my whole family loves, is very portable and will keep in the refrigerator for a few days.  It is perfect as an after school snack or an on the go ‘mini meal’.  They aren’t messy and  even little hands can hold them.

Yes folks, I am going to admit that again, I use canned dough.  Gasp!
I do. Not when I am wanting to serve nice, hot rolls with dinner (and that’s just a personal preference her..not judging) but for the purposes of making use of the pre-made stuff for snacks, pot pie toppers, etc you just can’t beat it!

I put all kinds of things inside. A few of our favorites are: diced ham and Swiss, scrambled egg, cheese and peppers, sliced strawberries and cubed cream cheese, pizza toppings, PB&J, bananas and Nutella…..I could go on and on.  You see where I am going here, right?

We don’t eat a whole lot of pre-made food in this house.  This was just a road I decided to take a few years ago and frankly, it is easier than you think once you get it all down.  But, I do cut corners from time to time. I think we all do but I will admit it.

Peanut Butter and Apple Pockets

1 8 count can of Grands whole wheat or buttermilk biscuits
1/2 C of peanut butter. You may use more or less.
1 Red Delicious apple, sliced and diced thinly (it will cook better inside the pouch)
a bit of Turbinado sugar for the top, optional, I used Sugar in the Raw

Separate all 8 rolls and lay out on a parchment lined sheet.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Find the seam in each roll and partially open.  Add a spoonful of PB and a few bits of apple to each.  I like to add raisins too, but I was vetoed by my kids ????
Close each roll and using a fork crimp to seal. Sprinkle with a bit of sugar.
Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.
Let sit for a minute before eating. Perfect for the lunchbox!
Hot and gooey!
