Soul Food Saturday #19

Well, we have one week of school under our belts! Five days down. Only 175 more to go! It's hard to believe that summer is coming to end, Labor Day is next weekend, and autumn is just around the corner. And today Bekki is sharing a great idea for any busy school night, especially if your family is like ours and the "after school" activities keep you just as busy!

  *NOTE* Bekki had a friend give her this recipe, but couldn't remember where she got it, so if you recognize it, or where it came from, please let us know so we can give them a little shout out love!

For most summer vacation is officially over. The new school year has begun and thoughts of fall sports and fun are in the air. So I decided we needed a fun recipe that’s great for a family movie night snack or one to come home and have right after a day at school. This one will be fun for the kids to help with. Choosing your favorite combinations of meats and cheese, just like your favorite pizzas. Whether you are a dipper or a purist, this will fit everyone’s fancy. Pull out the ranch, or your favorite marinara. Or maybe even both. This one is a winner!

 

 

Mini Pepperoni Pizza Egg Rolls

3 mozzarella string cheese, quartered
12 mini egg roll wrappers
36 slices of mini pepperoni
Oil for deep-frying

Marinara or pizza sauce (optional)

On top of egg roll wrapper, place three pieces of pepperoni from one corner to another. Place a piece of the quartered string cheese on top of the pepperoni. Moisten around entire edge with water to seal, with either your finger, or a brush. Start fold by folding corners over the cheese. Then pull bottom corner over cheese and pepperoni and keep rolling until cheese is tightly wrapped. Repeat with the rest of wrappers.

In a skillet, heat oil to 375 degrees F. Fry sticks, a few at a time, for 30-60 seconds on each side until completely brown. Drain on paper towels.
