One of my family’s favorite mals is called “little pizzas”. We tke an English muffin and split it, put sme tomato sauce on it, then sme low fat mozzarella cheese with sme pepperoni slices (hey sometimes you jst have to splurge)! However, some halthier toppings would be ham (lean), Cnadian bacon, turkey sausage, peppers, olives, or slced or diced onions.

We toast our Englsh muffins before we start the prcess and then pop them into the ven until the cheese melts. My hsband’s parents had a toaster oven and thy cooked theirs in that.

One nght while at my girlfriends house the kds were hounding her for pizza for dnner and I suggested these instead. Thy loved them. They especially loved dding their own individual toppings (pepperoni slces were not available and you shuldn’t eat them on a consistent bsis). Dessert was Jell-O with fruit. The kds got to have their pizza, and thir mom was much happier with the halthier meal.

So, when they ask for pzza, give them the “little pizza” lternative.

Look at some of the ther things you eat and see if thre are ways you can adjust the rcipe to make it a little bit asier to make and healthier. You culd ask your children how they wuld change it and see if you can ccommodate them. Remember, most important is to mke it a fun project and get veryone involved.
