My eight year old son, Blake, always comes home from school ravenous!! The go-to snack I prefer to make for him is usually some sort of smoothie (these are super fast, it fills him up and I can sneak in all sorts of good stuff like flax, fruit, hemp seeds, chia seeds, etc). Anyway, the other day Blake came home from school starving as usual and also very excited about a childrens cookbook he had picked up from the library (Ill admit I am not normally a fan of childrens do-it-themselves cookbooks as usually the recipes are sort of junky and or overly complicated.) Blake was especially thrilled about the pizza recipe that he supposedly could make all by himself. I was very skeptical about trying the pizza as all I could think of was the gigormous mess it was going to create in my kitchen. Still, Blakes enthusiasm was so high I just didnt have the heart to say no. I decided if we were going to make the pizza and going to make a huge mess anyway I might as well video tape it and put it on the blog. Turns out, the little rascal did not make a mess after all! And, the pizza was surprisingly tasty (I couldnt help but made a few healthy tweaks.) The recipe below is for a classic cheese and tomato pizza called a Margarita. Its a fun healthy kids snack thats easy to make =) Weve actually made this pizza about four times so far—for the adult version I load it up with all sorts of veggies & herbs; shredded carrots, fresh basil, sliced mushrooms, black olives, dollops of grass-fed ricotta (I learned about ricotta on pizza from a good Italian friend of mine), dried oregano and sun dried tomatoes. Yums the word! =) Check out the full recipe on www.HotandHealthyLiving.com
