Menu..

(Pizza Pockets (and peach pockets) using Laura's recipe, except with kefir)
I will be trying to fix up some healthy "convenience'' foods for my crew this week. We will be taking some nightly walks (and 'picnics') through the old part of 'town' and stopping in on Shakespeare In the Park! This is a free play they are doing throughout the rest of this month. Dh and I would love to sit through the whole thing but the kids...boy do they have a different view!

We caught a few minutes of the show the other night and after being seated for less than 2 minutes, one of my own comedians got up and whispered in my ear "if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go hang myself now".
Funny, kid!

Remember the line in Toy Story from Potato Head about "you uncultured swine"? Well no, I didn't say that BUT I thought about it and how I had taken them to see ALL three of those and I had been a good little mother and sat through all of them, without even ONE complaint- why can't I see ONE Shakespeare In the Park? ;-)

Do you freeze your biscuit dough or do you cook the biscuits and then freeze?

Collins Family,

I freeze them as soon as I cut them.

I lay them out while the oven preheats, bake them at 400...I usually put a pan on the lower rack to prevent over browning too.
