If you don’t have some Totino’s™ Pepperoni Pizza Rolls™ in your freezer you just might be missing out! I have been buying these Pizza Rolls for my family for years because they are super easy to make and something all my children have enjoyed when they want something to eat that tastes good and are quick to make. They are an EASY after school snack that kids love.

For many years, I have either made the Totino’s Pepperoni Pizza Rolls in the microwave or in the oven. See, I have been a fan of snacking on these yummy Pizza Rolls too! Let me tell you that I am really excited about how easy they are to make in an air fryer and how good they taste when they come out. When you make them in the microwave, the Pizza Rolls tend to come out a little soft which we have always enjoyed but when you use an air fryer, these little Pizza Rolls come out crispy and are PERFECT for dipping in your favorite DIPPING Sauces.

Perfect pair: Totino’s Pizza Rolls and your favorite dipping sauces like ranch, hot sauce, marinara, etc! I am sure these are just a few of many dipping sauces that you can come up with.

Spicy foods are popular with the teens right now. My son loves hot and spicy foods, so he likes to dip his Pizza Rolls in hot sauce. Sometimes he will get creative and use two dips together to make his own dipping sauce like dipping the Pizza Roll first in the hot sauce, then into another dipping sauce like Blue Cheese. His favorite dipping sauces for the Totino’s Pizza Rolls are Ranch dressing. Marinara sauce is another dipping sauce that would go great with these little tasty Pizza Rolls.

Like many kids, when my son gets home from school, especially on the days when he just got done playing sports after school, the first thing he does is head for the refrigerator or pantry to grab something to make. He is a growing boy and needs those afterschool snacks before he starts working on his homework.

If you are looking for an easy snack that your kids can grab and make after school, the Totino’s Pizza Rolls are a great option and are available in 15, 50, 100, and 130 count sizes. I usually like to buy a bag of 50 rolls in the Pepperoni and the Combination flavors, but you can also find other flavors like the Supreme, Triple Cheese and their new flavor Buffalo Style Chicken that we will be trying as soon as I can find them in the store. These little bite size snacks are definitely the PERFECT way to enjoy pizza without the mess!

4 Best Online Counseling Services For Kids & Parents

March 7, 2023 by Stefani Tolson Leave a Comment

In a time of social media, TikTok trends, and difficult school years, many teens are currently struggling with their mental health. It’s easy to discard this as teens always having it tough, but there are many novel problems we face in society. One example is Facebook actively identifying teens feeling ‘worthless’, then targeting them with ads. Imagine this, but from all angles and on all platforms.

But, technology is a two-sided coin. And, on the other side of it is a tech-savvy generation that can use their smartphones to access services like online therapy. This is perhaps the main driver behind the rise of online treatment – it’s simply made more accessible. Equally, with each passing decade, therapy becomes de-stigmatized. …
