1:30
beautiful flavors now let's come over
1:33
here and I'm gonna turn on our skillet

1:41
anything like that so I'm gonna make one
1:44
using fresh tomatoes and this is 3/4 of
1:48
a cup of halved grape tomatoes now I'm
1:52
gonna give them a little squeeze to kind
1:55
of get them broke up and going okay
2:03
alright I'm gonna add a little olive oil
2:06
to him it would have been great had I
2:08
had time to roast these in the oven but
2:11
I didn't so I'm just gonna quickly roast
2:13
them right here in my pan right now
2:15
while those are finishing come on over
2:17
here and let's talk about our crust for
2:20
our pizza I'm gonna be using an English
2:24
muffin
2:25
it's gonna make us a nice thick crust
2:28
and we're gonna put them over here on
2:30
our baking sheet all right now it's time
2:34
for us to put our tomatoes on I'm gonna
2:37
come over here now and I'm gonna divide
2:39
the tomato on my English muffins so it's
2:48
fine that we don't have a sauce our
2:53
tomatoes are gonna give us a little
2:58
tomato we taste alright now that gets
3:03
that alright now it's time for us to
3:06
sautee our vegetables off and I'm gonna
3:10
add a little bit more olive oil to the
3:12
pan and in goes 3 cups of diced eggplant
3:17
and 1/4 of a cup of diced onions and it
3:22
won't take but just a second for those
3:25
just saute off now I'm gonna throw in my
3:27
squash in my zucchini and I don't want
3:34
to cook these much because remember
3:36
we're gonna cook our pizzas in the oven
3:38
so they're gonna have more cooking to
3:41
them all right
3:45
so let's bring our pizzas up here and
3:53
let's just power our veggies own
3:58
I don't want them to be skimpy I want
4:01
these to be nice and generous
4:13
they really smell good okay let's come
4:18
back over here alright let's get our
4:21
veggies up there now I'm gonna sprinkle
4:23
them with just a little balsamic vinegar
4:26
not much but just a little bit to give
4:30
them that flavor okay and then on goes
4:36
some what's our our cheese oh yeah you
4:45
know if you as parents well have
4:49
everything ready for them they can come
4:51
in and they can even make their own
4:53
pizzas put them together and and put
4:56
what they want on it now we're gonna go
4:59
on with a little feta cheese feta adds
5:02
so much to pizza it's gonna give it just
5:06
a little bite on your pizza
5:09
we're gonna sprinkle each of our pizzas
5:12
with a Greek seasoning because the fat
5:15
and the tomatoes you know it just
5:17
reminds me that it's maybe just a little
5:20
bit on the Greek side but I think this
5:23
will be nice I think they'll like it
5:24
alright now I'm gonna take some fresh
5:27
basil and just shred that just a little
5:35
bit and then just put a little bit of
5:39
fresh basil oh it smells so good okay
5:43
there we go now we're just gonna run
5:45
these in the oven we're gonna put them
5:47
in a preheated oven of 400 degrees
5:50
and we're gonna let these bake for maybe
5:52
15 or 20 minutes not very long we just
5:55
want our English muffin very crispy and
5:58
crunchy and our vegetables just melted
6:03
all in that cheese so let's put them in
6:05
the oven
6:07

6:10
some scrumptious Apple raisin mini
6:12

6:14
be dropping in to help me make their
6:16
favorite childhood snack popcorn balls
6:19

6:21
it's all about the kids today
6:32
[Music]
6:35
hey y'all welcome back today's show is
6:38
all about afternoon snacks and kids I've
6:42
got our first snack ready to come out of
6:45
the oven those little mini pizzas with
6:48
the feta cheese oh they're gonna be so
6:51
good look at them
6:56
doesn't that look good you know in the
7:02
fun thing about pizzas is you can make
7:05
them and put whatever you want on them
7:07
and today we have tomatoes and zucchinis
7:12
and yellow squash is and find out your
7:18
onions and eggplant look how good that
7:22
looks mmm yummy and the English muffin
7:33
that we used made such a nice crust it's
7:36
almost kind of like a little deep-dish
7:37
pizza I think the kids will love them
7:40
well move on down the counter because I
7:43
want to show you the easiest recipe for
7:47
a little Apple raisin mini muffins that
7:49
you ever put in your mouth it's so easy
7:51
I'm gonna start with two apples that I
7:54
peeled and grated and I'm gonna throw
8:00
them into the skillet where I've got two
8:02
sticks of butter melting these apples
8:06
are gonna make these little mini muffins
8:11
so moist and delicious all right now I'm
8:14
gonna add 2 cups of raisins and that's a
8:21
lot of raisins if you're not a real big
8:24
raisin fan you can certainly cut back on
8:27
that amount I'm gonna add 1 cup of water
8:31
I'm gonna add 2 teaspoons of cinnamon 2
8:38
teaspoons of nutmeg
8:41
and a half a teaspoon of cloves so we've
8:46
got all those good spices that tastes so
8:50
good with apple all right now to this
8:53
we're gonna add two cups of sugar so you
9:03
can see that these are almost gonna be
9:06
cake like in the fact that they're sweet
9:10
it's almost reminds me of carrot cake
9:13
muffins
9:15
all right we're gonna let this cook for
9:18
about 15 minutes and then we're gonna
9:21
let it completely cool and I have some
9:25
this already cooked back here and that
9:28
has cooled so I'm gonna bring this up
9:31
here and you can see what it looks like
9:34
the apples are just you know really
9:38
cooked now and the raisins are plump and
9:41
the butter in the sugar has made it kind
9:45
of thick all right now in this bowl I
9:48
have three and a half cups of
9:49
all-purpose flour and I'm gonna add two
9:53
teaspoons of baking soda I'm just gonna
10:01
kind of flip that together now these are
10:04
real easy to put together all we're
10:07
gonna do is take our apple mixture and
10:10
mix it in with our flour and a cup of
10:14
walnuts
10:15
now the walnuts are real good but if you
10:19
don't have anything that pecans you can
10:20
certainly use those so that's all it is
10:27
really doesn't take but just a minute
10:30
the thing that I like about these little
10:33
apple muffins is not only par they good
10:36
fun an afternoon snack along with a
10:38
glass of milk
10:39
they're great to go along with breakfast
10:41
a hot bowl of oatmeal all right
10:46
I have my mini muffin tins that I've
10:49
sprayed with a nonstick spray now I'm
10:51
gonna use like this looks to be about a
10:54
1 ounce ice-cream scoop all right so
10:58
we're going to fill each one of these
11:03
little muffin holes without batter and
11:07
we're going to fill them all the way to
11:08
the top just like this this is a perfect
11:12
scooper
11:16

11:21

11:25
you
11:29
okay now we're going to put these in a
11:35
350 degree preheated oven and we're
11:38
gonna bake these for about 15 minutes
11:41
