 If your kids are picky eaters, raise your hand. Yup, that’s me with both hands up. If I had a third hand that would be up too since I have three picky eaters. If you have been a reader for any length of time, you already know that. So, when I find something that they will actually eat, I stick with it. One thing I discovered, is that they love crescents. You know, the kind in the tube. I have tried many variations from pigs in a blanket to Pizza Crescents and they always eat them. I was trying to think of more ways to fill a crescent and came up with a pepperoni pizza filling.  These Pepperoni Pizza Crescents were a hit! Your kids will also love these 4 Ingredient Pizza Bagels.
My kids made these pepperoni pizza crescents themselves. Easy and delicious - we'll be making this crescent roll recipe again.
 

Pepperoni Pizza Crescents


How easy is this recipe? Well, you only need 4 ingredients to make it and kids can help.

My daughter felt quite responsible as she used a dull, plastic knife to cut through the string cheese. Please supervise your children even if they are working with dull plastic knives.

Making these pepperoni pizza crescents is simple. Just add one tablespoon of sauce to the center of a crescent.

Add half the string cheese and one slice of pepperoni on top.

For my daughter, rolling was especially fun. This step can get a little messy as sauce drips out.

I make these pepperoni pizza crescents in a toaster oven since they are super quick. No reason to warm up the big oven. If the tops start to brown too much, cover with foil for the remainder of the cooking time.

Please wait a few minutes before eating these since the melted cheese is hot when they come out of the oven.

If you are looking for a quick and easy kids meal or a tasty snack, look no further. I have to say of everything we made using crescent rolls these pepperoni pizza crescents were my favorites.  You just can’t beat the yummy taste of pizza combined with a flaky crescent roll.

Eat at Home Meal Plans

Have you heard about Eat At Home Meal Plans? If the cost of eating out or the decision of what to make for dinner each night is stressing you out, then you must try these. When you sign up, you get access to four separate meal plans each month (Traditional, Wholesome Traditional, Slow Cooker, and No Flour/No Sugar). All you do is print the plans, color-coded grocery lists, and recipes you want for that month. Don’t worry, there are lots of options, so even picky eaters will find something they like.

Then when it is time for dinner, make that night’s recipe (choices include make-ahead, freezer meals, slow-cooker recipes, and other time-saving strategies).

That’s it! Dinner is on the table and you can enjoy a home cooked meal with the family – without the stress!

We all have more important things to do than meal planning. Let someone else do it for you with Eat At Home Meal Plans. Monthly, quarterly and annual plans are available.
