Homemade Hot Pocket

Ingredient:
1 package of pastry puff sheets
any type of meat... I picked chicken (cooked)
any type of cheese... I picked shredded Italian Mix
any vegetable... I picked mushroom and broccoli
1 egg

Directions:
Have the the vegetables chopped up in pieces the smaller the better.
Thaw the pastry puff according to package (mine said 40 min)
Roll the pastry puff to 1/4 in or smaller, be careful not to make it too thin or it will tear
Cut the sheets to be 3 in by 5in.
Place one rectangle of pastry on a cooking sheet
Make the egg wash (one egg scrambled)
Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash
Place the filling in the middle to how much you want and how much will fit
Then place another pastry sheet on top pushing the edges together with your fingers
Take a fork and press the edges again
Brush the egg wash over the top and cut two slits 1/2 in with a knife.
Repeat till you have how many you want

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
cook for 20-30 min rotating at the half time mark to prevent sticking to the pan

Oatmeal Banana Nut Muffins

1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup of quick oats
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1/4 cup soy milk
1/3 cup applesauce
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 bananas, mashed
1/2 cup english walnuts, finely chopped
Directions:
1. Combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nuts
2. In a separate large bowl, mix the milk, applesauce, vanilla, and egg.
3. Add mashed bananas to the wet mixture and stir the flour mixture until all combined.
4. Spray Canola onto the muffin pan or line with paper cups.
5. Divide the batter filling each cup, 2/3rds of the way.
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes at 400 degrees

Requests

Hi everyone!
         This is a post to ask you guys what you like and would like to have a certain recipe or have my own spin on something. I will take any suggestions... I am thinking about doing a theme each month and with today being the first of December, I'd like to start this in January, a whole new year a whole new blog setup. I can also start making videos if you think that would help your quest through new and old foods. My last two blogs have been over muffins. Both are delish but the carrot one went over better. My next blog should be banana muffins, because Goe requested I am attempting to make healthy options for Goe and I, so we don't add so much weight... like we have these passed months. Let's say I'll be your guinea pig for food... To submit your requests just leave a comment and I will see what I can do.

Thank you,
           Tricia
