½ cup frozen cherries

1½ teaspoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon boiling water
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon cherry, raspberry or strawberry jelly/jam
1 ½ tablespoons rolled oats
1 tablespoon chocolate chips
2 teaspoons shredded coconut
Fresh cherries, to serve


Mix together cocoa powder, sugar, and boiling water until dissolve. Next, mix frozen cherries with milk, then add to chocolate mix. Add yogurt, jelly / jam, vanilla and oats.

Homemade Pizza Rolls

Pizza Rolls

9 ounces (about 1 2/3 cups) bread flour
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water

1/2 pound Italian sausage, cooked, cooled, and finely diced
1/4 pound low-moisture mozzarella, finely diced
1/2 cup prepared pizza sauce

Probably need to roll dough thinner - to 5 instead of 4.  

Also: try with pepperoni.

Update: the original recipe calls for frying the pizza rolls, but I've had success baking them at 375 - 400 degrees (my oven runs hot) for 10 minutes.
