Make Ahead Pizza Pockets (for Bento)

I made some pizza pockets today for some quick bento packing in the future. If you don't like sausage you can fill them with your favorite toppings.



Mini Pizza Pockets
Pizza Dough (I used a bread machine recipe)
1/2 lb. Ground Italian Sausage
Pizza Sauce
Shreaded Cheese

Brown ground sausage.

Roll out pizza dough, I used a large glass rim to cut circles. The diameter should be about 4".

Build pockets: teaspoon of sauce in center, a tablespoon of browned sausage meat, a sprinkle of cheese. Then fold dough circles in half and seal with a fork.

Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for 10-11 minutes.

Freeze on pan for 30minutes then transfer pockets to a ziploc bag for long term storage.

Bento Resurrected

Well, I've continued to make bentos. With or without my camera my family still needs food! But behold I have a new camera to document the beautiful bentos I make and so here are the lunches I made for today.



Chloe gets mini corn dogs and bbq sauce, apple sauce with some sprinkles, dried mango slices and baby bell cheese wheel, carrot sticks and milk.



Ken gets left over green chili chicken enchiladas, grapes, dried mango slices and baby bell, green salad.
