I had a coupon the other day for Pepperidge Farm Garlic Bread for like $1.00 off, so I went ahead and bought it. Well tonight I thought it’d be fun if the Eric and I made something together for dinner, and of course it would have to be something that wasn’t too complicated. He’s only 8 years old, afterall. Anyway, so I thought we’d use those Pepperidge Farm Garlic Breads and make some pizza, kind of like french bread pizza, or whatever. Basically all you do is spread some pizza sauce on the frozen bread, put lots of pepperoni (or whatever you like) on it, and some shredded mozzarella cheese then bake it as directed for 8-10 minutes. Voila, delicious and simple pizza bread.

Eric had his Mini Gourmet cooking class again today. This time they made these things called Bacon Cheeseburger Roll-ups. They are really yummy and easy to make. He didn’t remember the recipe exactly, but he told me they got it off the Kraft website, so I went and found it myself so I could share it.

Ingredients:

* 1 lb. lean ground beef
* 4 slices OSCAR MAYER Bacon, chopped
* 1/2 cup chopped onions (about 1 small)
* 1/2 lb. (8 oz.) VELVEETA Pasteurized Prepared Cheese Product, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
* 1 pkg. (13.8 oz.) refrigerated pizza crust

# PREHEAT oven to 400°F. Cook ground beef, bacon and onions in large skillet on medium-high heat until ground beef is evenly browned, stirring occasionally. Drain; return meat mixture to skillet. Add VELVEETA; cook until completely melted, stirring frequently. Cool 10 min.
# UNROLL pizza dough onto baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Press into 15×8-inch rectangle. Top evenly with meat mixture. Roll up dough, starting at one of the long sides. Rearrange, if necessary, so roll is seam-side down on baking sheet.
# BAKE 20 to 25 min. or until golden brown. Cut diagonally into six slices to serve.

He’s so proud of himself! He loves the fact that he gets to cook and bring home the things he makes to share with me. He even asked if he could make this for dinner for us one night. I think I’ll let him, but of course, with tons of supervision.

Dinner And A Movie?

As I said previously, my kiddo had his first Mini Gourmet cooking class at the community center yesterday. They all made pizza pockets. He was so proud of himself, and he saved me one of the pizza pockets he made so I could taste it. When I picked him up he was going on and on about how much fun he had, and how he got to do everything himself. I must admit, the pizza pocket was delicious and I was quite impressed. He said he would type out the recipe for me and print it out. When he does I’ll throw it up here for anyone who’s interested.

So last night we also watched The Spiderwick Chronicles. I’m usually not a fan of movies like that.. I’m not into the whole fantasy thing. Fairies, trolls, and goblin movies usually don’t interest me at all and I almost always find them to be incredibly cheesey. However, this movie was really good. I liked it alot, actually, and I know Eric did too. It’s kind of gross at times, what with goblins and green ooze for blood and all that mess. There was really only one part I found to be a bit cheesey and that was at the end. I won’t say what it was, but I’m sure anyone who watches it or has seen it will know what I’m talking about.
