I am so burnt out on the usual 'kid-friendly' foods!
But with cheer season here and two extra kids, corn dogs and frozen pizzas have become the 'norm' for us. I decided to mix it up a little today.
I had purchased some English muffins at the store yesterday. I originally bought them for breakfast, but they looked more like pizzas to me today.
I poured some plain old spaghetti sauce in a bowl and tossed in a spoon. I laid out some slices of cheddar cheese on a plate. I didn't have normal mozzarella cheese, but I buy string cheese by the case, since that seems to be 1YO's drug of choice. I 'stringed' it up and then cut it into bits and put it in a bowl. I put half an English muffin on each plate and let them spoon their own sauce onto it. They then decorated it with the cheese of their choice and I popped them in the toaster oven.
They were so excited to eat their own pizzas!
This is more exciting than cable!
And here are their finished products:
And "did they eat them?" you ask. Of course! I made cookies to eat afterward!

Pizza sounds good right now! I cannot imagine cooking for 5 kids. If the boy is picky about his food, well, he just starves.
Tonight, however, I have a brisket braised with BBQ sauce and beer going in the oven. I might make a blueberry cobbler to go with it, too!
That looks so yummy. And yes your little nephews are absolutely adorable. there is definately a family resemblance between those kiddos. Take care

That was a great idea! It helps when lunch prep. takes a bit of time and they're more forgiving when they take part in it. I'm ordering PIZZA! LOL
that pizza looks yummy! wow 5 kids..
Those were a great idea! You should submit it to one of those cooking magazines. That would be great too for when the kids have friends over that you also need to feed. Quick, easy and they actually eat it!
Good grief! What's with all the oddly placed, superfluous italics? Do you talk like that?
The title's funny but the blog's unreadable. Sorry!
I am an old mom (hence a grandmother) and I loved the post you had about not being able to stop talking. I was reading an article in "real simple" magazine that defined the...I don't want to say problem...situation. I have struggled with the need to full the silence for ever. Moms can be forgiven, grandmother need help!!! :).
Keep the sense of humor and come visit me sometime.
