Pizza Pockets

I had recently attended a bonfire where they served home made pizza pockets. They were so delicious. When I tried it, I instantly knew I had to have the recipe. After a quick search I finally found it. I plan on serving these during my next get together.

Ingredients 
Original recipe makes 4 servings







Directions

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Unroll dough on cookie sheet and separate into 4 rectangles; press each into 6x4-inch rectangle, firmly pressing perforations to seal.
  2. Spread 1 tablespoon pizza sauce on half of each rectangle to within 1 inch of edge. Sprinkle each with 3 tablespoons cheese; top with 6 slices pepperoni. Fold dough diagonally over filling; firmly press edges with fork to seal. Sprinkle each triangle with 1/4 teaspoon grated cheese. With fork, prick top of each to allow steam to escape.
  3. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until deep golden brown. Serve warm.

Tablets in Schools

If schools were to upgrade to using technology, rather than textbooks, I think they should get tables, more specifically Google or Microsoft tablets. I think these tablets are better for learning and school stuff. They have Microsoft capabilities and other features that are good for typing papers, doing school projects, doing research, etc. However, I think the school should provide these tablets, especially to the students who can't afford it. I don't think its fair to change the way class is run, and not give the students an opportunity to keep up with the change and to succeed. I do think the changes are good but I don't think it is solely up to the students to make the change. In the past, schools have always provided computers and labs and I think they should do the same with tablets. However, I do think it would be good for students to learn the new technologies and I think the schools should take this step.

NonAlcoholic Fishbowl Punch

I was searching for fun, fruity drinks on Pinterest the other day. I was looking for drinks that my friends and I could make in Myrtle Beach on Senior Beach week and this popped up. I thought it looked really cool. Unfortunately, it had alcohol. So, I looked it up on Google and found non-alcoholic recipes. I can't wait to try this new summer drink!





Ingredients:
10 
ounces coconut water
ounces Blue Curacao flavored syrup
12 
ounces sweet-and-sour mix
20 
ounces pineapple juice
32 
ounces lemon- lime soda
blue 
food coloring, if desired
small fishbowls (each holding 4-5 cups volume)
box (6 oz) Nerds candy
12-16 
Swedish fish candies
ice
fruit 
slices (3 each, lemon, lime and orange)
drinking straws

Directions: 
  • Mix coconut water, syrup, sweet-and-sour mix, pineapple juice and soda in a large container. Cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve
  • To serve, divide the Nerds candy between the three fishbowls and place at the bottom of the bowl.
  • Add ice. Arrange the fish around the outside of the fishbowls - use the ice to hold them against the sides.
  • Carefully add the punch mixture, dividing equally. Top with the fruit slices and straws.
  • Top with a little lemon-lime soda, for bubbly-ness.
  • Enjoy!
