Get the Most from your Meals.

No, I'm not saying you should run out to your favorite superstore and purchase the biggest plates in stock. More is not always better! Instead, create delicious meals full of interesting flavors, textures and colors and your family will fill up on enough of the good stuff to keep the cravings in check. Make sure to serve well-balanced meals or at the very least serve foods from all the major food groups (no, chocolate is not one of them) throughout the day. Start young and tots will gravitate towards foods that their bodies need, not those that marketing mavericks want them to have.

Old and young, we all seem to love pizza. Whether it's the gooey cheese or the zesty sauce, I'm not quite sure. Bottom line is, if you disguise healthy foods with pizza flavors, your kids will feel like they're getting a treat and you'll feel pretty good, knowing that you've steered their little hands in the right direction...(Away from the junk food drawer for once). Seasoned with your favorite sauce, California Ripe Olives and parmesan cheese, and fortified with spinach and chicken breast for vitamins and protein these Parmesan Chicken Pizza Rolls make the most of any plate in the house.

Parmesan Chicken Pizza Roll

• 3/4 pound chicken breast, cooked and shredded
• 1 1/2 cups prepared marinara sauce
• 8 ounces chopped frozen spinach, thawed and drained well
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 (4.25 ounce) can sliced California Ripe Olives
• 1 pound prepared bread dough or pizza dough (room temperature)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl combine chicken, marinara sauce, spinach, mozzarella, parmesan and California Ripe Olives. Set aside. Roll or pat out bread dough into a 10-inch by 12-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread chicken mixture inside rectangle, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border around the edges. Roll up in a jelly roll form, pinching ends shut to fully enclose filling. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet for 15-20 minutes to rest and rise, then bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before cutting into 6 pieces. Leftovers can be frozen in airtight plastic baggies. Serves 4-6 for dinner...Lots more if you cut them for snacktime.
