a kids cookbook at my house for ideas.
1.Split English Muffin in half, using a table knife. Toast both halves in the toaster.
2.Top each toasted muffun half with 1 tablespoon pizza sauce and 1 tablespoon cheese. Add the toppings (pepperoni or ham or any toppings you want to put on your pizza).

Tonights Dinner:
I am thinking tonight I am going to make some pizza! Friday nights have always been Pizza night but we have not done it for awhile and we always get the frozen kind at the grocery store. I think tonight the kids would have fun making their own. I am debating on making a big pizza or small pizza's! I bet they would enjoy the small ones. I am going to find a good recipe and get it posted!!
Thanks!
Thanks!
