When a teen bakes – Pepperoni Cheddar Wraps
My 14 year old son doesn’t really like bringing typical lunches to school. I think the hot cafeteria is a real threat compared to home created lunches. So glad the choice is there, however some days it just makes sense to pack a lunch to save a few dollars.
I’m always encouraging him to shop for the things he likes so he’ll be more likely to want to eat them. We’ve been eyeing up pepperoni rolls lately in the deli but they can get pricey too. So I suggested he make his own.
And so he did!
Main recipe ingredients
We picked up some Pillsbury wiener wraps, pepperoni, and cheddar cheese and got to work.
The outcome was super quick, and positively delicious!
The only bad news? They were eaten before the next day! Oops…
My boy’s actually been getting fairly creative in the kitchen, so you’ll be seeing a few more of his easy to whip up creations soon!
(which are equally awesome for non cooks like me…)
When a teen bakes – Pepperoni Cheddar Wraps
- Pillsbury wiener wraps
- pepperoni sticks
- grated cheddar cheese
- 1. Oil pan well or place foil on pan, then oil.
- 2. Open rolls, and line up on cookie sheet.
- 3. Place half a stick of pepperoni on each dough section.
- 4. Roll closed.
- 5. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
- 6. Bake for approximately 15 minutes at 375 degrees, or whatever rolls say on package.
- Wonderful for school lunches or to take on picnics. Very easy for kids to make, and they'll likely eat it because they made it themselves. Would also be fabulous teamed up with a sweet dipping sauce.
Gotta love a man in the kitchen!
Keep up the good work!!
I know! I’m so proud of him! He has a killer cheater burger recipe too… will get him to do that one soon!
Donna I printed this for one of my teens who takes pepperoni sticks in his lunch EVERY day. This at least makes them more interesting and substantial. Thanks for sharing.
How cool! p.s. the dough is the best part! 🙂
Donna, I am curious do you have a VitaMix? I am sure he could have a wild time with that kitchen tool!
Not yet, but a decent blender to do it all is on the list! I down fruit smoothies every AM for breakfast and am attempting to get him to adopt that habit. 🙂 So far he hasn’t loved veggie juice at all so starting with fruit… I’ve heard of all the things you can make with the blenders too, pretty cool!
They look amazing! Great Job! Great Life skill to encourage your son to embrace. So many younger kids these days can’t cook.
Sounds Yummy.
