Pepperoni Pizza Roll Up's Recipe

I know I've been cooking a lot with Pillsbury type dough recently.  I just keep finding all these recipes that are super easy and ready in minutes that I have to try.  I found this gem and knew I had to keep trying them or I would die a sad sad death.  My whole family loved these little pizzas!  A great way to use Crescent dough if I do say so myself.  We had these as our entree and we all left the table happy.

You'll need Marinara Sauce, Turkey Pepperoni, String Cheese, and Crescent dough.

Make sure you get the Trivia string Cheese.  It will make your life way better.  I bet you want to know the answer..don't you.

Cut the string cheese in half.  Ok, ok the answer to the above question was Lightning.

I used the 50% larger crescent rolls so I could make cute little pouches.

I am in love with this Turkey Pepperoni and you should be too.

Spread the Crescent dough out on a parchment lined baking sheet and separate into triangles.  Top each triangle with Pepperoni 5 pieces or so.

Place a string cheese half on top of the pepperoni.

Roll these babies up and seal the edges to avoid spillage.  Cook according to package instruction.

Place some Marinara sauce in a microwave safe dish.

Place a paper towel over the dish.  Trust me.

See..aren't you glad all this goo isn't all over your microwave?

Oh boy..the roll ups are ready.  Golden brown and amazing.  If you look at the middle row you can see a bit of gooey cheese trying to escape.  Oh yum!

Place the Marinara Sauce in a cute dish for dipping.

Oh yea!  Now lets check these babies out.

Look at all the melted Cheese and Pepperoni Goodness.

Dip & Enjoy!

Potato Pizza Recipe

I love pretty much all things pizza.  I'm always looking for a healthier version of pizza that still quenches my pizza thirst.  This recipe was pretty good and I definitely recommend it.  My three year old who doesn't like potatoes very much just picked off and ate the pizza toppings and left the potato for the rubbish bin.  Kids!  I got the baked potato recipe here and the potato pizza recipe here.

You will need potatoes, Turkey Pepperoni, Grated Cheese, Olive Oil, Lawry's Season Salt, and the leftover Marinara sauce from your Spaghetti Taco Recipe

Clean and dry your potatoes really well.

Using a fork poke the potato in several spots.  You want to dig the fork in good and deep to help steam release as it cooks.

Add a bit of Olive Oil to a bowl.  Dip your potatoes into the oil  Then rub the oil all over the potato to coat.

Season the potato skins with Lawry's seasoned Salt.  Yummy!

Place the potatoes right on the oven rack but put a baking sheet underneath just in case a mess happens.

Remove from oven about an hour later or when they are good and soft.

Cut the potatoes in half and scoop out a little of the flesh to create a little well.

Cover each half with Marinara sauce, grated cheese, and pepperoni.  stick baking sheet back in the over for about 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Enjoy!
