School is out and the kids are hungry!
This combination of events can be dreadful or delightful, depending on what you arm yourself with. Kids can be quite unpredictable when it comes to eating, no matter the age. One minute they definitely don’t want to eat, two minutes later they are starving with a side order of drama.
Two things every Mama should know...
One- you are never going to be ahead of (their) game. Those clever little minds are engineered to push every button you have.
Two- 5-minutes meals might put you back in the game.
They still get my head spinning sometimes, but not with these delicious 5-minute Easy Margherita Pizza Bites that I pulled out of the hat! DOUBLE points if you have stale bread laying around, because all Mamas don’t like wasting food. It’s Win Win!!
Try these delicious low-carb Grilled Eggplant Tacos too!
Will your kids love these 5-minutes pizza bites? off course you can customize to their taste (or yours haha) but perhaps the most important thing to know is that -they will be fed and you clever Mama just got yourself extra time to enjoy a cooling drink on the deck, a few pages of your favorite book, browse the net... or whatever rocks your boat!
