Simple Summer Suppers

I love the summer not because of the heat, but because of the food. For my family, summer means light suppers full of fresh garden vegetables. It also means simple, simple, simple. This is a recipe that I tried out last week and everybody loved it; we had no leftovers. I loved it because there was hardly any prep work and the recipe is so versatile. It can be a great lunch or snack, too. I definitely encourage you to try this...especially if you're pregnant and tired and don't want to cook!

Turkey Cheese Pockets

2 oz. cream cheese, softened

1 Tbsp. mayonnaise or Miracle Whip

1 tsp. dijon mustard

4 slices shaved turkey lunch meat, finely chopped

1/4 c. shredded mozzarella cheese

1 can refrigerated biscuits (10 biscuits)

Preheat oven to 400. Mix cream cheese, mayo and mustard in a small bowl; add turkey and cheese and mix well. Press out each biscuit to a 3.5 inch circle and place about 1-2 tsp. filling in the center of each. Fold biscuit over into a pocket and press well to seal the edges (fork works great). Bake 10-12 min. on an ungreased cookie sheet or until browned. Serve hot.

Trust me, these are good. When I made them, I used ham and cheddar cheese, but you could use ham and swiss or chicken and monterrey jack or whatever you want. I added pepper and herbs, too. You could also use different flavors of cream cheese (chive and onion would be soooo good). Next time, I'm going to try an all veggie pocket. Olivia LOVED these, so it would be really easy to sneak a vegetable in with the meat, too. For supper, I paired it with pasta salad and raw veggies. Healthy (each pocket has about 100 calories) and really yummy!
