Pizza Pinwheels – Kid Friendly

Adapted from: Super Healthy Kids
Calories

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1 cup flour whole wheat or white whole wheat
  • 1 cup flour all purpose
  • 2 ¼ Teaspoon yeast active dry
  • 1 ½ Teaspoon sugar
  • ¾ Teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup water warmed
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 ½ cup mozzarella cheese

Sauce

  • ¼ cup spinach or kale
  • ½ medium bell pepper yellow, red or orange
  • ¼ cup mushrooms sliced into pieces
  • ½ medium onion diced
  • 1 medium carrots diced
  • 1 medium zucchini diced
  • 1 cup spaghetti or marinara sauce

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine 1 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl
  • Whisk together the warm water and the oil and add to the dry ingredients. Mix until well blended,
  • about 1 minute.
  • Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
  • Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky.
  • Knead on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4
  • minutes.
  • Place the dough in a large, lightly greased bowl, and drape a moist kitchen towel over the bowl, but do not wrap the dough.
  • Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes in a slightly warmed oven. The dough will almost double in size.
  • Chop the vegetables (you will need to have a total of 2 cups).
  • Sauté the vegetables for 3-4 minutes or until slightly tender.
  • Blend in a high-powered blender with the marinara sauce (or keep the veggies whole **).
  • Once the dough has risen, remove it from the bowl and place on a lightly floured work surface.
  • Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a ½ inch thick rectangle, about 12 by 10 inches.
  • Spread the blended sauce (or sauce and cut up veggies) over the dough, leaving a ½ inch border
  • around the edges. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
  • Begin rolling the dough until you have one large roll (looks like a Stromboli).
  • Slice into 8-12 slices and place each slice into a grease muffin pan.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the pinwheels are golden brown and cooked through in the middle.

Notes

**Notes: If your children love their vegetables chunky, do not blend them in the marinara sauce, but
hand mix them with the marinara sauce and follow the above instructions.

Cranberry Sauce – Many Ways

Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry Sauce – Many Ways

Adapted from CookieandKate.com
This naturally sweetened cranberry sauce recipe is easy to make and tastes amazing, too. Explore the many uses of cranberry sauce below and enjoy it throughout the winter – not just at Thanksgiving!
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 8
Calories

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces cranberries 1 bag fresh or 2 1/2 cups frozen
  • 2 Tbs. maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 medium orange Zest of 1 medium orange, preferably organic, divided
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • Optional: 1/4 cup orange juice

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the cranberries well and drain off excess water. Pick through the cranberries and discard any soft or wrinkled ones.
    Cranberries in Pot
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the cranberries, maple syrup and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 to 10 minutes, until many of the cranberries pop. Using the back of a spoon, crush some cranberries against the sides of the saucepan to create a thick mixture.
  • Remove the pot from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of the orange zest (save any extra zest for garnish). Add the cinnamon and stir to combine. Taste and if the mixture is too tart (keeping in mind that cranberry sauce is supposed to be a little tart!), add the optional orange juice.
    Orange Zested
  • The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. It will keep in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

MANY USES:
  • Crostini – for an easy and colorful appetizer, slice a small loaf of crusty bread. Brush with a little olive oil and toast in the oven until light brown. Spread toasted bread slices with soft cheese (brie, cream cheese or other), top with cranberry sauce and garnish with a pinch of extra orange zest.
  • Sweet Potato Topper – for a delicious sweet-and-tangy side dish, bake a foil-wrapped sweet potato until done (yields to touch). Remove skin and mash with a fork. Top mashed sweet potato with a spoonful of cranberry sauce and optional toasted pecans.
  • Breakfast yogurt – add flavor and color to plain yogurt by mixing in a small spoonful of cranberry sauce. Top with granola and an additional dollop of cranberry sauce for a simple, nourishing breakfast.
  • Dessert parfaits – for a beautiful and tasty treat, layer crushed chocolate cookies, softened vanilla ice cream and cranberry sauce, 2 to 3 times, in a glass. Enjoy immediately. If making in advance, substitute pudding or yogurt for the ice cream and refrigerate. Try using shot glasses for mini parfaits – just as delicious but less filling.

Apple Butter

Apple Butter

Makes 3 pints
Apple butter is a highly-concentrated form of apple sauce produced by long, slow cooking of apples with cider to a point where the sugar in the apples caramelizes, turning the apple butter a deep brown. In contrast to what the name implies, there is no “butter” in apple butter. The name comes from its smooth and buttery texture.
Servings 3 pints
Calories

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pounds Apples McIntosh, Braeburn, Fuji, Gala – cut, cored, but not peeled
  • 2/3 cup apple cider
  • ¼ cup lemon juice

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice

Instructions
 

  • Add the apples, apple cider, lemon juice, cinnamon, cloves and all spice to a large pot.
  • Cook all the ingredients over medium-low heat, uncovered.
  • Stir occasionally, until the apples have become very soft, approximately 1 hour.
  • Mash the apples in the pot with a potato masher.
  • Continue cooking the apples uncovered and stirring occasionally, until they become thick, velvety and a deep mahogany color, about 1 hour.
  • Using a hand blender (also known as an immersion blender) puree the mixture until smooth.
  • You can also use a regular blender in small batches until smooth.
  • Let the mixture cool and transfer the butter to the pint-sized jars.
  • Keep the apple butter refrigerated.
  • It will stay for 3-4 weeks in the refrigerator.
  • Try spreading the apple butter on buttered toast, waffles, crostini with cheese. You can also add it to bbq sauce, chicken burgers or added to carnitas.
  • Enjoy!
