Stop Drop and Roll !!

Tuna Twisties...As Promised!

Since I'm on this grab n go treats kick, might-as-well share one more perfect little food craft. These I love, they freeze great, and I just pop them in the microwave. It's one I don't mind serving adults too.

Here is the recipe! Hope you are enjoying these easy treat ideas!

You'll need:
Cooking Oil, Fresh White Mushrooms, Chopped Celery, Chopped Onion
Flour, Dry Mustard, Tuna, Cheddar Cheese (Or your favorite-I use TEx MEx), and a Loaf of Frozen Whole Wheat Bread Dough (Thawed overnight-again, cover it in saran wrap that's been greased with cooking spray, then cover with damp cloth)

Heat 1 tsp of your favorite cooking oil (I use olive oil) in saucepan over med. Add 1/2 C Mushrooms, 1/4 C Chopped Celery, 1/4 C Finely Chopped Onion and sautee til soft.
Add 1 tbsp Flour, and 1/4 tsp dry mustard (u could use regular mustard too, but double it at least) and stir for about 1 min. Transfer to small mixing bowl.
Add can of tuna, drained & Stir. Let stand 10 minutes to cool slightly then add 1 C grated cheese. Your mixture is ready. Now for the rolling...

Roll bread dough out to approx a 10x14 rectangle. Spread mixture over douth and ROLL! Cut into 12 slices and place spirals, cut side up, about 1 inch apart on baking sheet.

I sprinkle a little extra cheese on top for garnish and who doesn't love extra cheese!! Or even seeds like sesame or sunflower! YUm!

Grease plastic wrap with cooking spray again and cover spirals with wrap letting stand at room tep for about 70 minutes until they double in size, then remove plastic wrap and bake at 350 for about 25 minutes.

My next experiment is going to be to try these with other fillings, maybe just cheese, or Pizza stuff, jam or jelly to make my own "Nutri-Grain" slash Jelly-Roll UP twisties, or maybe peanut butter and jelly, or almond butter...maybe even an easy cinnamon bun...little butter, cinnamon, brown sugar or agave syrup even, few raisins and pecans. hmmmm...that has me thinking, wonder what other kid friendly things I could experiment with?
