Today’s healthy snack Friday uses another great appetizer recipe for a kid’s healthy snack.\u00a0 I love these because both adults and kids like them so you can mix up a bunch, put them in the fridge and the whole family can enjoy them together.\u00a0 Today we’re using Pimentos which are mini peppers. They’re not always easy to find fresh but often you can find the canned variety and they’ll work just fine too.\u00a0 Our local costco sells small peppers in red, orange in yellow.\u00a0 Those would work fine too.<\/p>\n
Pocket Pimis (Pimentos)<\/p>\n
What You Need:<\/p>\n
1 C green peas, cooked (fresh, frozen or canned are fine)
\n1 C small curd cottage cheese
\n1 small onion, chopped fine
\nSalt and pepper to taste
\n8 small whole pimentos, cleaned and peeled
\n1 C seasoned bread crumbs<\/p>\n
How to Make It:<\/p>\n
In a bowl mix together the peas, cottage cheese, onion, salt and pepper to taste.
\nStuff each pimiento with the pea mixture.
\nSpray a cookie sheet with a non stick cooking spray.
\nPreheat oven to 350.
\nPlace the stuffed pimento on the cookie sheet.
\nSprinkle with the seasoned bread crumbs.
\nBake 5 minutes or until the bread crumbs begin to brown.<\/p>\n
I’d love to hear what your kids think of this one.\u00a0 As a kid I wasn’t much of a pea eater so I didn’t serve it to my own kids much either.<\/p>\n
These would be great with chopped up ham or turkey ham in the mixture too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
