Look at Team Fitz!

We’re hanging out on our local ABC station WTNH Channel 8 on Connecticut Style.

If you just found us from the show, welcome!

Grab a cup of coffee and pull up a seat the Fitzpatrick’s kitchen table…

We had an awesome time hanging out with the gang there in New Haven and we made some great recipes!

If you missed the live show or are looking on how you can make these with your kids, take a look!

So Chic Sushi Rolls

2 whole  Spinach sandwich wraps

1 c  cooked white rice

1 c  grilled chicken thinly sliced

½ c carrots thinly sliced

½ c red peppers thinly sliced

½ c alfalfa sprouts

½ avacado sliced

Mayonnaise or mustard (for sticking)

Lay out the wraps on your cutting board.  Spread just a thin layer of mayo or mustard over the wrap to help everything stick.  Lay half of the rice down into the center of one of the wraps and press it out so it thinly covers the the wrap.  Do the same for the second.  Evenly distribute your chicken between the two wraps laying it in a straight line through the center of the rice. Follow suit with your carrots, red pepper, sprouts and avacado.  Now fold in the right section of your wrap over the ingredients and slightly pull back toward you, then continue to roll over and make your self a tube.

Cut your tube into sushi roll looking slices.  You can cut them straight or on an angle then arrange them on a plate.  Serve these with edamame or even edamame chips!  You’ll have your kids yelling, “Arigato.”

I’m a Hungry Caterpillar – Dinner Style

1 tube refrigerated pizza dough (or buy some from the local pizzeria)

1 c pizza sauce

1 c pesto sauce

1 8 oz package mozzarella cheese

1/2 c sliced mushrooms

1/2 c sliced peppers, red yellow and green

1/4 c sliced olives

1/2 c chopped tomato

1/2 c sliced onions

shredded lettuce

basil leaves

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.  Cut your pizza dough into different shaped circles using a cookie or biscuit cutter.  Arrange the circles in a long curving line so it looks like a caterpillar.  Alternate each circle between the pizza sauce and the pesto sauce. Top each with cheese and allow the kids to decorate each part of the caterpillar with the toppings.

Bake on 425 degrees for 15 minutes or until cheese is nice and melty.  Take it out of the oven and arrange your caterpillar on a bed of shredded lettuce and basil so it’s sitting in the “grass.”

Last up, the awesome after school snack that we didn’t have enough time for…

Nacho Mama’s Nachos!

1 c  peanut butter

½ c cream cheese

2 T honey

1/4 c orange juice

2 large apples, sliced

2 large pears, sliced

½ c strawberries, sliced

1 large banana, sliced

1 kiwi, sliced

1/2 cup blueberries

1/2 cup raspberries

1/4 c walnuts

½ c shredded coconut

Heat a small saucepan over medium heat.  Add peanut butter, cream cheese, honey and orange juice.  Mix together and allow to simmer over low heat.

Arrange apple and pear slices on a plate (like corn chips in regular nachos).  Pour the peanut butter mixture over the apples and pears (like nacho cheese sauce).  Arrange strawberries kiwi and banana on top (like nacho toppings) and sprinkle with blueberries, raspberries, and shredded coconut.  These are definitely not your Mama’s nachos!

If you have a nut allergy household you can make this with sunflower seed butter instead of the peanut butter!
