January 21 Menu

Breakfast: oatmeal
Snack: pear muffins, bananas
Lunch: quesadillas, tangerines
Snack: carrots & peanut butter, ABC cookies
Dinner: pigs in blankets, leftovers (we've had a plethora this week, I know, but I'm cleaning out the fridge and freezer!)

Recipe--Pigs in Blankets
2 packages (16) hot dogs
3 cups flour
4 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/16 cup milk

Combine dry ingredients. Cut in shortening. Stir in milk until just moistened. Divide dough into 16 equal portions, roll into balls. Flatten ball with hand. Cover hot dog with dough, wrapping around all sides. Place onto greased baking sheet. Bake at 450 for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Makes 16; freeze leftovers. Reheat in microwave.

*without the hot dogs, this recipe makes really great biscuits. Especially drenched in butter.
