Personal Pizza for Lunch!

Who has kids that refuse to eat school food..... OOOOHHHH OOOOHHH OOOOOOHHH ME!!!!!! Yes.... I have 2 kids that absolutely refuse to eat school lunch because it "sucks out loud". OK, so not my favorite word choices here but the point has definitely come across loud and clear. Apparently this new initiative in schools is not what it is chalked up to be. So what to do what to do.

Mom to the rescue, as usual. For those that know me I LOVE to cook. I love to create in the kitchen also. Today is not much in the creative arts but it is a good lunch for the kids. Hey, it was a good lunch for mom too. :-)

Best of all - this is calorie friendly :-) BONUS!!!!!!! I have listed my ingredients below. Use what ever your kiddos love best :-)



Yep 3-4 ingredients makes for a quick and easy lunch. BEST OF ALL - you can freeze them!!!!!! WOOO HOOOO.

This recipe makes 2 pizzas.

1 Sandwich Thin (2 pieces)
2 Tbl Pizza Sauce
1/4 C Shredded Cheese
8 pc Pepperoni (optional)

Super Super easy. Lay the sandwich thins soft side up :)
1 Tbl Pizza Sauce on each slice
4 pc of pepperoni per slice
Sprinkle the half the cheese on each slice.



Now you have one of two options.

1. COOK! Broil or toast until the cheese is bubbly - Mine took about 3-4 minutes in the broiler



2. FREEZE! - place pizzas on cookie sheet and place in freezer for about 2 hours. Once frozen, you can wrap them individually and store in the freezer. Just thaw and cook!

What makes these little guys calorie friendly... Ill break it down by single slice.

Sandwich Thin - 50 calories
Cheese - 55 calories per 1/8 C
Pizza Sauce - 10 calories per Tbl
Pepperoni - 38 calories per 4 slices ( remember this is optional)

A Cheese pizza has 115 Calories EACH - A Pepperoni pizza has 153 Calories EACH!
