Hi, I'm Rachel.

A few years ago I could barely boil water.

True story.

Determined to be a kick ass wife, I developed a love for football and learned to cook in my tiny Jersey City kitchen. I spend my days working in Manhattan, my nights and weekends chasing after a rambunctious toddler, and the hours in between cooking with my husband and feeding my TV habit...oh, and I blog about it all!

Pepperoni Pizza Rolls

Happy long weekend!

 

I'm off from work today and really in disbelief that it's President's Day. Wasn't I just neglecting to make my New Year's Resolutions? And here we are past the middle of February…and that means it's time for another Secret Recipe Club!

 

This month, I received Making Memories with Your Kids. I really love this blog because Erin has so many fun and easy ideas for recipes that she does with her kids. It makes me so excited for the days in the {hopefully} near future when Penelope can join me in the kitchen, or at least get excited about heart-shaped lollipops and Play Doh cookies.

This month, I chose her pepperoni pizza rolls for a weekend away. These were so simple and a definite crowd pleaser. With just 4 ingredients, these can also be made healthy with reduced fat crescent rolls and cheese and turkey pepperoni. That's how I made 'em!

 

 

Pepperoni Pizza Rolls
*Adapted from Making Memories with Your Kids
1 tube crescent rolls, reduced fat
16 sliced turkey pepperoni
3/4 C shredded mozzarella, part skim
1 1/2 C tomato sauce, of your choice

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Unroll the crescents and separate them. Add 1 Tbsp+ of cheese and 2 slices of pepperoni to each and roll up. Bake for 11-12 minutes. Serve with sauce for dipping.

 

These were quickly gone!

 

Next time I make these, I will try to incorporate a tiny bit of sauce into the mix since with using reduced fat ingredients, these were just a teeny tiny bit dry. But otherwise, so delicious!

Thanks to Erin for this simple and fun recipe!

Yum these look great. I love pizza rolls- haven't had them since college but I am guessing these homemade ones may be even better
