Oh, yuM! My kids love waffles, but my waffle maker died.

I just have a regular waffle maker, but I love it too. So nice to have breakfast for dinner every few weeks and make several batches of waffles to freeze for breakfast. It definitely helps cut down on the cereal consumption.

Here’s my “something other than pizza” favorite. It is my own creation made by combining two other recipes. They are calzones, but my kids call them hot pockets.
The recipe calls for frozen bread dough but you could easily substitute your favorite bread or pizza dough. The filling is totally up to you so you could customize them for the kids. To identify them later just use a knife to draw a letter in the dough before baking! 
As an added bonus, there are instructions for freezing them and they can then go straight for the freezer to the oven! That’s a real bonus in my book because you can skip that whole “remember to get something out of the freezer” step.
1 loaf frozen bread dough, thawed
4 oz chives and onion cream cheese
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
pizza sauce
2-3 oz crumbled sausage or beef, or chopped ham or pepperoni
any other pizza toppings that you enjoy
1 egg
1 T water
Combine cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, and meat in a mixing bowl. Add enough pizza sauce to make the mixture smooth.
On a lightly floured surface, divide dough into 4 pieces. Roll each piece into a 7 inch circle. Spoon 1/4 of the cheese mixture onto one side of each dough circle. Fold over and press edges with fork to seal. Place pockets on greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes. Beat egg and water; brush over pockets.
To eat immediately bake at 375* for 35 minutes.
To freeze, bake at 357* for 15 minutes. Cool before freezing. (If you put them in the freezer too soon and don’t put anything between them (such as aluminum foil or plastic wrap) they will stick together!) To use, place frozen pockets on baking sheet and bake at 350* for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. At my house that is marinara or ranch.

We’re going to have to try your Homemade Flour Tortillas.
Looks like you have a yummy week planned.
Have a great Halloween or Harvest Festival!

I haven’t made waffles in awhile. My waffle maker is old school. Don’t know how many years I’ve had it. Maybe I should try it again sometime. Sometimes we have pancake suppers on Sunday evening but not often.
Tonight we are having chicken marinated in sweet and sour sauce, mashed potatoes and veggies.
Tomorrow, meatballs and penne in spaghetti sauce.
Wednesday: soup in crockpot with stew veggies.
Thurs: Fish sticks from Trader Joes and bread and veggies.
