Pizza Skewers


This week we are doing recipes kids can make.

I am trying to find the easiest ones that are also

tasty and different. These look delicious and easy enough to make.

This recipe serves 4.


What you'll need:

1c marinara sauce for dipping

grated parmesan cheese

crushed red pepper flakes

1/3c olive oil

2T italian seasoning

kosher salt

all purpose flour for dusting

1/2lb pizza dough

1 pint grape tomatoes

12oz cooked sweet italian chicken sausage links,

sliced 1/2" thick

1lb fresh mozzarella sliced thin

1/2c fresh basil leaves

skewers


Create:

Soak 8 skewers in water for 30 minutes.

Prepare a grill skillet over medium heat. Cut a 12" square

of aluminum foil.


Stir together the oil, Italian seasoning and 1 tsp of

salt in a large bowl. Dust a work surface with flour.

Roll the dough into a rectangle about 11x6x1/4".

Using a pizza wheel or a knife, cut the dough into 1" strips

then into 1" squares. Add the dough squares, tomatoes

and sausage to the seasoned oil and toss gently to coat.


Thread the skewers alternating sausage, tomatoes and

dough squares. Leave 1/2" of the skewer on both

ends empty. Each skewer should have 4 pieces of

each sausage and dough and about 3 tomatoes.


Grill the skewers until tomatoes have gone soft and

the dough has started to puff. Put the prepared foil

square on the pan (if too big, tear some off). Place the

skewers onto the foil and top with the mozzarella cheese.

Cook until the dough is done and the cheese has melted.


Divide the skewers among 4 plates, tear basil leaves over the tops and serve with marinara.


These recipes, the kids can put together, pending age

they can cook themselves or with help.

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself.  I just don't like what follows... winter!  However I love walking in my home and smelling  the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in  of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put  in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle  or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep  adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you  will not have to keep adding water and you can keep  it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot?  What do you normal...
