Let's Eat Pizza

One of my family's favorite meals is called little pizzas. We take an English muffin and split it, put some tomato sauce on it, then some low fat mozzarella cheese with some pepperoni slices (hey sometimes you just have to splurge)! However, some healthier toppings would be ham (lean), Canadian bacon, turkey sausage, peppers, olives, or sliced or diced onions.

We toast our English muffins before we start the process and then pop them into the oven until the cheese melts. My husband's parents had a toaster oven and they cooked theirs in that.

One night while at my girlfriends house the kids were hounding her for pizza for dinner and I suggested these instead. They loved them. They especially loved adding their own individual toppings (pepperoni slices were not available and you shouldn't eat them on a consistent basis). Dessert was Jell-O with fruit. The kids got to have their pizza, and their mom was much happier with the healthier meal.

So, when they ask for pizza, give them the little pizza alternative.
