Kids Play Dough

Kids Corny Sticks

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

Servings: 10
18 ounces fat free polenta, prepared in a tube
1 cup marinara sauce, prepared
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, fresh grated
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
3 tablespoons 2% mozzarella cheese, shredded
3 tablespoons green bell peppers, finely diced
2 tablespoons black olives, finely diced
1 tablespoon white onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon parsley, freshly chopped
1 teaspoon garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup turkey pepperoni, finely diced
nonstick cooking spray
salt
pepper

Recipe

1 1st - i love the fat free tubes of 100% organic polenta at fresh 'n easy. i assume they are sold elsewhere, but these have become my go-to cheap & healthy favorite.
2 2nd - remove polenta from packaging and place into a bowl. massage in the pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, olives, onions, peppers, and parsley. season with some salt and pepper. if you want to make this with other ingredients - go for it! i would love to try ham & cheddar, sausage & sage & greuyere, green chilis & chorizo & jack -- the list goes on & on - use your imagination. i've done pizza ingredients to make my kiddo happy!
3 flatten the mixture in a pie pan, casserole dish, or a long lasagna pan. basically you wan to flatten it out in as big of a rectangle possible that is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. refrigerate for a few hours.
4 i like to make this first thing in the morning then cut, coat, & cook after school. its ok to do whatever works for your schedule, but its easier to cut and coat and shape the polenta when cold.
5 3rd - when ready to cut -- cut into sticks -- about 1 inch wide x 4-5 inches long and 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick. the size is 100% your call. i've even done these before with cookie cutters -- in various shapes. just make sure they aren't too big to crisp up correctly when you cook.
6 coat your sticks (or other shapes) with a mixture of the panko crumbs and parmesean cheese mixed together. get a nice coating stuck to all sides of the polenta.
7 fry on a grill pan coated with non-stick spray until crisp on both sides. serve with warm marinara sauce.

Kids' Favorite Cheese Sauce

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

1 lb cheddar cheese
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 -2 tablespoon sugar

Recipe

1 dice the cheddar cheese (medium or mild is best) into 1/2 inch cubes.
2 melt in double boiler on medium heat or in microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring frequently to help it melt.
3 once the cheese is about half melted, stir in the mayonnaise a tablespoon or two at a time. depending on the desired consistency, you may wish to adjust the amount of mayonnaise.
4 when the cheese is thoroughly melted, slowly add the milk, stirring constantly. the sauce should have a grainy texture once it has enough milk.
5 add salt and sugar to taste. sharper cheeses generally need more sugar and less salt. (note: i tried using low fat mayonnaise the other day, and it turned out much sweeter than i wanted. it still tasted great on the broccoli, but apparently low-fat mayo has sugar in it, so check your ingredients!).
6 pour over cooked broccoli or fried/poached eggs and serve. to reheat, place in microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring each time.
