Stromboli

These Stromboli's can be served as an appetizer or a main course. Both could also be served with a side of tomato sauce.

Ingredients:
4-1 lb fresh or frozen dough
2- 6 oz. package of sliced pepperoni
1 lb. of 98% fat free ham, sliced 1/4 inch in length
2 large green bell peppers, sliced 1/4 inch thick
4 cups Shredded Mozzarella cheese
1 egg scrambled
Your favorite Tomato Sauce for dipping

Directions:
Roll the dough to the size of 19 inches x 6 inches. That length will depend on if you like a thinner or thicker crust. If you like a thicker crust, roll the dough to 15 inches x 5 inches. I like a thin crust. That is what you see in the picture. I prefer to fill them with pepperoni, ham, green bell pepper and mozzarella cheese. You can fill them with anything you like. I do recommend that with any ingredients you may use, always include the Mozzarella cheese.

Scramble one egg and set aside. Once you have rolled out your dough, start layering all your ingredients down the center, starting with the pepperoni and ending with the Mozzarella. Now you can start to close the Stromboli by bringing both sides of the dough around and overlapping them. Then fold the two ends closed. If your dough will not stick together you can dip your fingers into the scrambled egg and run it along the seam.

Place the Stromboli on a greased or lined cookie sheet seam side down. Generously rub the scrambled egg all over the Stromboli’s.

Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or golden brown.

Serve with a side dish of tomato sauce for dipping. These ingredients will complete 4
Stromboli's.

Serving the Stromboli as a main course
Cut Stromboli in half and serve with a side of tomato sauce. Serves 8

Serving the Stromboli as an appetizer
Cut into 2 inch pieces and place on a serving tray with tomato sauce. Approximately 80 pieces.

Hints: When cutting the bell pepper into your 1/4 inch slices, slice the two ends off where it curves. The curves have a tendency to puncture through the dough.

Thanks Kim from "Pair Slices"and Heather from Oswalds Cuties for participating in "What would your children say"? Wednesday.

How many question can your child ask in five minutes?

Here we are again with "What would your children say?" Wednesday. I cherish these defining moments in my child’s life. Children are funny little comedy acts.

My son is at the age of questions. Everything is question after question. He would ask so many questions that I become brain dead.

This event happened on our way to Disney.

Disney is a two and a half hour drive from where we live. The first fifteen minutes of the drive, the Cisco Kid asked about 40 questions. My husband decided to do something brilliant. He turned the tables around and started to constantly ask the Cisco Kid question after question. At that point the Cisco Kid didn't know how to process that information. About a half hour later the Cisco Kid started all over again asking me questions. After the tenth question I decided to turn the tables and do exactly what my husband did. I started asking him questions. The Cisco kid realized that was not what he wanted to hear and he said....... Listen!!!!! I'm asking all the questions around here and I would appreciate it if you didn't ask any until I am done!!!!

The Chief and I just cracked up.

Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

Continuing with our Disney trip. The past two days I have posted all about our Disney Trip.

It is so much fun to spend Halloween with all of Mickey's friends. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween party transforms the park into a special Halloween wonderland. All the characters come out and have dance parties. Throughout the night the castle changes colors.
We are waiting for the Halloween parade to start.
It all started with the Headless Horseman galloping down Main Street.

Throughout the park they have candy stations and they give you handfuls of candy.The next morning we got up and the Cisco Kid decided to run around outside our room with his balloon.


Before we left our hotel we decided to have our last vacation breakfast together. As we were waiting to be seated, we thought the fish needed some breakfast also. We were right!! They were practically jumping out of the water for food.
Seeing Figment the night before sparked the imagination in all three of these kids to become builders. They had three very different ideas on how to use the creamer for their buildings.


One of the attractions is Figment.

Continuing our trip to Disney

I will continue posting my Heratige Christmas Cookie Collection next Monday.

On to Disney Worlds, Magic Kingdom.

Yesterday I posted about Our adventure in Epcot. Now let me take you thought our journey into Magic Kingdom.

Mickey's garden After a fun filed day at Magic Kingdom we went back to the hotel and took our selves a rest before going to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

After our much needed rest we went to Cinderella’s Happily Ever After Character Dinner. This Character Dinner was so much fun.

As we were waiting for our table the little Rascals watched some vintage cartoons on children sized furniture.

Then a pianist came out and played some of the little Rascals favorite songs.
Our first visit from Prince Charming.
Cinderella
Cinderella saw the Cisco Kids Lab coat with all his body parts splattered all over it and she called her stepmother over to see them as well.

The wicked stepmother just could not resist touching all the body parts.


Then we got a visit from one of the wicked stepsisters. She was so funny. All the characters were so great. They acted just like the character in the movie. This wicked stepsister was going to get herself a man. If she couldn’t have Prince Charming she was going to try for Rebecca's husband. They had a great dance together and back to Rebecca he went.
The other wicked step sister came by for a visit when she spotted the Cisco Kid. She was so grossed out by his lab coat. He just thought she was so funny. The Cisco Kid got so much attention and reactions from his costume. He had so much fun being the Mad Scientist.

The dinner was so delicious as well as the desert. This is a sample of what was on the desert buffet.
This is the menu for Cinderella’s Happily Ever After Dinner.

Tomorrow I’m posting about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
