"Busy Moms Homemade Pizza"

1 package cheese
1 jar pizza sauce
refridgerator biscuits
Pepporoni's or Canadian Bacon, (whatever they like)

Flatten refridgerator biscuits seperately onto a flat cake pan, or round pizza pan. Have them spoon on the pizza sauce, then have them sprinkle on the cheese and add the toppings.

Bake as on package directions. Usually around 8 to 10 minutes. Taste better when made by the kids! They will really have fun making them!

Reply from Anita:
I do about the same for my kids but, we also use bagels OR we'll use regular bread, whole wheat or ryle bread and cook them in my sandwich maker. They're a hit because my kids love the taste and they get to create their own!

Favorite Snack:

Homemade Popsickles

Use Ice Cube Trays, or those special containers for this, and pour in favorite juice or kool-aid, or even come up with your own recipe! Freeze and enjoy! Great for tired Moms too!

My daughter is 16 mo. old. She goes for the healthy stuff I love it. Her favorite snacks are grapes, apples, and cheese. Not all together, but those are her top picks.

When my 4 year old and 1 1/2 year old kids are driving me nuts while I try to get my business emails sent out I give them a big bowl of peanut butter, some crackers, celery and dried cranberries and let them use a spoon to smear the peanut butter onto their crackers and celery. Then they decorate them with the dried cranberries. Yum yum! They love it and it gives me just enough time to get my emails sent out. Of course I have to clean off my 1 1/2 tear old when they're done :0)
