Having little ones at home and a busy schedule, I’m always on the look out for quick and easy lunches. I have to admit that I have fallen into a rut of serving the old time favorites like macaroni and cheese or peanut butter and jelly. If my kids are lucky they might have a choice to add honey to their peanut butter. Then there are the days we are really desperate. A quick bowl of Ramen Noodles are usually the go to choice , which may fill their tummies but I’m sure does not rank very high in the nutrition scale. I don’t know what it is about lunch time but it always hits our home at the busiest time of our day.

I’ve found that if I create a more interesting I make the lunch menu, my children are more likely to take the time to slow down and actually eat. Finger foods are always a big hit. They are bite size and can be eaten quickly. The best part is there are no utensils required.

This week we tried Mini Pigs In A Blanket paired with a few apple slices. It was a big hit at our house. Nothing was left over and they are quick and easy to prepare.

Mini Pigs In A Blanket

1 package Lil’ Smokers Sausages
1 package refrigerated crescent rolls

Directions:
1. Open crescent rolls and separate dough into the divided triangles. Using a pizza cutter, cut each triangle in half creating a smaller triangle.
2. Take individual Lil’Smokers and roll inside of the dough from the widest part of the triangle down. Repeat until all of the dough has been used.
3. Place on a cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 11- 13 minutes.
