How To Make A Garlic Knot Pizza Bake
Click Image to View at Amazon

Garlic Knot Pizza Casserole is a kid friendly recipe that my boy loves making more than he likes eating it. Which is funny because he begs for pizza every night. For some reason WT likes opening up cans of whomp biscuits.

This makes a pretty good supper for those nights that you want some comfort food but are tired and don’t want an involved recipe.

You don’t have to add as much topping as we did, and you can vary the toppings just like any pizza. However, you do want a liquid sauce on the top of the casserole as that helps the biscuits cook to the right consistency and texture.

Cooking with your kids is a pretty important part of parenting, at least in my mind. It not only shows you want to spend time with them, it teaches cause and effect, math, following directions, and patience.

Recipe: Eggroll Pizza Log
Buy at Amazon

If you buy some egg rolls from the freezer section of the grocery you can spend some time with your kids letting them make single serving crisp eggroll pizza.

I don’t normally eat egg rolls. I hate the ones with cabbage in them. However, these egg rolls taste pretty good. Its also something I can let the kid do.

It really isn’t hard to make.

Ingredients:
- Egg Roll Wrappers
- Pepperoni Slices
- String Cheese
- Pizza Sauce
- Olive Oil
Procedure:
1. Lay out the wrappers
2. Layer the sauce, pepperoni, and cheese on the wrapper taking care not to go overboard. Less is more.
3. Wrap the egg roll up
4. Lightly coat with oil
5. Bake our little pizza sticks at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes.
Egg roll pizza could not be any easier. They are even easier than my fridge bread pizza.

My son liked the eggroll pizza, but since he loves all pizza of any type – it wasn’t a stretch. Pizza is a good meal to do with your kids.

My boy has more fun making the different types of pizza than he does eating them. We recently did a really cool one using canned biscuit dough to make a whomp biscuit pizza.

Recipe: Whomp Biscuit Pizza
Buy at Amazon

Whomp Biscuit Pizza is an easy recipe for those nights when you don’t want to cook and the kids are hungry. It is based on canned biscuits that you “whomp” up against the counter top to open.

Making Whomp Biscuit Pizza is Simple:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
- Open the canned biscuits and cut the individual biscuits into quarters
- Spread the cut biscuits equally across a greased cast iron skillet. Alternatively you can use a casserole dish.
- Spread pizza sauce and all desired topping other than cheese over your biscuit bits.
- Bake at 400 20 to 25 minutes
- Remove and add cheese
- Bake again for another 10 to 15 minutes
Enjoy. I don’t male this whomp biscuit pizza often as packaged dough is cheaper, and make your own dough is even cheaper. However, it is a good recipe to do with children to teach them how to cook and follow simple instructors so I see myself making this more as little WT gets older. Now that he is 4 he is capable of doing this, but when I shot this video you can hear that he has a hard time asking for his toy truck much less baking a pizza.

Kitchen DIY:Best Way to Reheat Pizza

Buy at Amazon

First of all, I must admit, I rarely have a need to reheat pizza.

I normally just eat it straight out of the refrigerator. If you have a little time and want to reheat your pizza without turning it all soggy and rubbery in a microwave here is a tip.

Get out your sandwich maker/foreman grill/waffle iron and heat it up. Once heated double up your pizza like a sandwich and reheat it.

The cheese melts and the crusts heats without turning soggy. Consequently, It turns ordinary cold pizza into a pannini like sandwich.

It is good without being gourmet. I find this a great way to reheat pizza.

Being an honest guy, I will admit that I only do this occasionally. Almost every time I do dig out the foreman grill and double up my pizza to reheat it I slather it with mayonnaise and extra cheese. Because of this, I have to wait until my wife is not around. Because she will give me that wife look that says volumes about my eating habits. Its amazing how this works without he saying a word.

I guess if I just stuck to heating the pizza up as it comes out of the box it would be okay with her. Seems like a smart guy would know that.

In conclusion, this tip works well, but don’t go overboard.

Kitchen DIY: How to Store Leftover Pizza

Buy at Amazon

Like reheating pizza, I don’t often have leftover pizza I need to store. My son now scarfs up any pizza I did not eat.

However sometimes I do need to keep the leftovers around for breakfast and I really hate wasting food.

What I do when we have leftover takeout pizza is to take the box and separate the top and bottom of the cardboard box and make a new box out of the bottom.

Just come halfway downs and rip out two rectangles on the two sides of the box opposite to each other and in the middle of your box.

If you fold up the cardboard you will have a half sized pizza box to keep your pizza together in the fridge.

Or alternatively you can store your leftover pizza in the individual cases shown in the picture.
