Homemade Pizza Rolls

It's another night at the ball field.

Thank goodness I only have one boy cherub to lug around!

I'm not sure that I could do this if I had 2 or 8 more boys!

At least I have a balance of ballet and baseball!

Because on game nights, it can be a little hectic,

and because it would be so much easier to grab dinner and run to the field,

I really try to make quick, easy, and tasty food!

I call it "homemade fast food!"

Isn't that ultra-creative?

Truly, what you spend at the fast food stop, you can have dinner that is so much tastier, more healthy, and usually have left overs for lunch the next day.

I called this "pizza roll ups,"

because that what it is

and I'm not really creative when I name food!

Homemade Pizza Rolls

1 Rhodes bread loaf, thawed
Deli sliced pepperoni or Canadian Bacon, chopped
Chopped onion, optional
Parmesan cheese, grated
Black Olives, optional
Pizza sauce

Thaw the frozen bread loaf. This comes in a package of 3, I used only one loaf of the package for my family of 4.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Once the dough is thawed, on a lightly floured surface, use your hands to stretch the dough to a rectangle (maybe 10X12), or whatever you can easily get it to. There's no right or wrong here.

Sprinkle the chopped pepperoni, onion, and black olives over the dough. Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese.

Starting with the long side of the dough, roll up as though you are rolling cinnamon rolls. Tightly seal the edge.

Using a serrated knife, cut the dough into 8 equal pieces. Place them, cut side down, in an 8 X 8 pan that's been sprayed with Pam.

Bake for 25-40 minutes, depending on doneness and your desired browning on top. I baked our closer to the 40 minute mark.

Remove from the oven and top with a little more grated Parmesan cheese.

Serve with a salad and pizza sauce to dip.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

Neiman Marcus' Chicken Tortilla Soup

I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there. Because I've only been once, my variety of selection is limited! However, I have had lunch with friends that serve this Neiman Marcus soup recipe. It is so delicious that I wanted to pass it along to you! If your weather is like our weather, one day you're making soup and the next your grilling out!

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned. We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
