I
made this recipe for dinner on Friday night. I thought it would take a lot
longer to assemble than it did. It was still time consuming but thankfully
husband with spending time with little one so I had some time to myself in the
kitchen. Little one is all about hide and seek these days. He thinks it’s so
funny to walk up to you and say “BOO!” The best part – you can stand in the middle
of a room and he’s still amazed that he found you!
I
like to have fun foods on Friday nights. Foods that can be eaten easily, while
watching a movie with friends or even outside around the bonfire. Plates and utensils
aren’t always required on a Friday. This recipe completely fit that
description, but it’s nowhere near healthy. Keep in mind that each bite is a
whole biscuit. I felt a little guilty chowing down on these yummy bites and
that’s when I decided they are much more of appetizer than a meal. A few bites
could easily be paired with a huge salad for a more balanced meal.
I
made a few adjustments to the recipe. The original recipe called for two pepperoni
slices per bite. After making one bite following the recipe I just felt that
was way too stingy so I doubled the pepperoni! The original recipe also calls
for a block of cheese that needs to be cut into 30 pieces. I took the easy way
out and bought a bag of Kraft cheese cubes. This little time saver didn’t cost
any more than buying a block of cheese (the cubes may have been on sale). I also gave some more exact measurements to
the parmesan, pizza topping and garlic powder. The original recipe called for
Italian seasoning but I had a jar of pizza topping which is just Italian seasoning
with a few extra things added to it.
After
putting these together I realized that you could really put anything in these
yummy little bites! Use your favorite pizza toppings. Try some buffalo or BBQ
chicken. Taco meat and cheese served with salsa…mmmmm. I’m starting to enjoy
thinking of all the delicious possibilities!
Enjoy!
