Pizza Dough Pinwheels- Created from pre-made pizza dough, a can that pops open or make your own (few ingredient dough).

Flatten into a rectangle, spread your toppings and roll up, stromboli-style. Slice carefully and bake at 350F for about 20 minutes or until browned.

Pack your favorite marinara to dip in. Eat within an hour or keep chilled with an ice pack.

• parmesan cheese
• spiced up cream cheese
• shredded veggies (carrots, zucchini, etc.)
• other veggies (corn, spinach, chopped tomatoes, broccoli, etc.)

Snack Box – Build your own snack box, based off of the formula: protein + veggies + fruit + whole grain. Keep chilled with an ice pack.

Pie Crust Pockets– Created from pre-made pie crust, a can that pops open or make your own.

Slice the pie crust into 4 long strips. Fill on one end, leaving a border. Don’t use a filling that has too much liquid. Brush the edges with water or egg whites. Fold the other end over and use a fork or your fingers to pinch edges closed. Bake at 375F for about 25 minutes.
