Biscuit Pizzas



This is one of my family's favorite recipes.  The kids can help, it's fast and easy, and everyone will eat these.
(the above picture shows the pizzas just before baking)

Three ingredients:


1.  Canned biscuits (we use 3 cans so there are leftovers)
2.  Sauce (pizza or spaghetti sauce work fine)
3.  Shredded cheese (mozzarella or whatever you want)

Make sure the kids wash their hands first!!  My kids usually have dirty hands from playing outside.

Heat the oven according to the directions on the package of biscuits.


Step one:  Have kids flatten each biscuit on a cookie sheet.  They spread out, so you will need more than one sheet.  I tried  pizza pans this time - don't use them.  The pizzas in the middle don't cook through.


Step two: Slather on some sauce.  I discovered it is less messy if you put the sauce in a measuring cup with a spout.  At our house, we have one kid pour, and the other spreads the sauce on each biscuit.



Step three: Sprinkle the cheese (Don't forget to eat some!  This dinner-making is hard work!)  Add toppings.



Step four:  Bake according to biscuit package directions.  Check to see that biscuit edges are lightly browned and cheese is melty.


Let cool and enjoy!  We make 3 packages so we have plenty of leftovers for lunches or quick dinners.
 

Bon appetit!

Snow Day!!!

Image
Ah, the first snow day of the new year!  The kids are so excited - they can't wait to don their snow gear and plunge out into the snowy world for fun fun fun! I personally look forward to putting layer upon layer of shirts, hats, socks, mittens, and snow-proof outerwear on my children - 30 minutes of effort for an hour of fun. Yes, I have finally reached the point where the 30 minutes of snow-garbing is less than the time they spend outside.  Except for my 3-year-old.  It's his first year where snow is actually fun, but I don't see him lasting out there more than 10 minutes. When they were two or under, my children would reappear in the house within 5 minutes of their release into the winter wonderland to announce that they're cold and they're finished and can I please help them take all their soggy things off. So, if your children aren't quite old enough yet, or your children become cold easily and can't hack playing outside in the frigid temper...

Resolute Mom

The neighbors are sending their kids to swim lessons, gymnastics, soccer and art classes.  They eat dinner in their mini-van.  I don't know how they find time to do their homework or laundry, or even talk to each other. But this is the story for many families in our community. We don't do any of these things.  Home.  Homeschool.  Library.  Church.  Walmart.  Grocery store and occasional doctor's appointments.  These are the places we go.  This is what we do.     This may be largely due to our lack of disposable income. But preceding that, my husband and I think this is so good for our kids. They have plenty of free time.  We went to the circus a few weeks ago, so this week they created a circus, complete with carnival games and 3-ring acts.  They get to sleep in as late as they want to every day except Sundays.  I think this is exceptionally good for them, as they are constantly growing and need ext...

Superhero Undies in the Toilet

Underpants in my toilet. "Why are there superhero underpants in the toilet?!!  I actually said this aloud this afternoon.  It's one of those things that surprises you when it exits your mouth because it's so crazy...who lives this way? We do. Millions of other parents do. We live with children.  They are not orderly or quiet, and they do not have good manners.  They have no sense of duty, nor responsibility.  They are born this way. My three-year-old son is in the middle of the potty training marathon.  When nature calls, he marches upstairs and removes his pants, then lowers his underoos and kicks a field goal with them before he plops himself on his little froggy potty.  Those little underpants land in the darndest places.   I've found them in the tub, the sink, and all over the bathroom - sometimes behind the toilet, and when he's especially lucky, in the toilet.  Goal!! I had none of those mythical children who...
