I have two little boys who look alike, are close in age, and like many of the same toys. But one area where they seem to be polar opposites these days is their taste in food. So when I can find something that they both enjoy, I need to blog about it so I don’t forget! lol<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
The other night my husband was working late so I thought I would make a homemade pizza with the kids. It didn’t take too long and was a healthier pizza choice then frozen or take out.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I found this easy, no-yeast, crust recipe<\/a> online. The only suggestion I would make would be to pre bake the crust about 5 minutes before putting toppings on to make it a bit crispier. It\u00a0doesn’t have to look perfect so just roll it out as you like it.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I did substitute 1\/2 cup of the flour for this awesome Baking Protein<\/a> for a little extra nutrition. It\u00a0doesn’t lose any nutrients when heated.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I also used about 1\/2 cup whole wheat flour and the rest all purpose. But you could use whatever you like. I also mixed in about a TBSP of Chia seeds into the crust for extra omegas and fiber. If you are not familiar with Chia seeds, you need to be! They are easy to add to recipes, soups, smoothees, etc and are a sort of super food.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
After I got the crust going I quickly cut up veggies for my half of the pizza. My kids\u00a0don’t like cooked veggies but they will eat them raw. so I left some out for them to eat on the side.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I\u00a0saut\u00e9ed\u00a0 chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, mushrooms and I added fresh spinach right onto the pizza.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I made my sauce with approximately 3 oz of tomato sauce, 2 oz of tomato paste to thicken it, oregano, basil, fresh garlic, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and about a tsp of raw honey to sweeten it.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
(sorry for all of you who love to measure. I never do which is why I would never be able to write a cookbook! Just add flavor to taste and go easy on the salt. Most of the time you\u00a0don’t even need it or\u00a0much of it)<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I picked up some fresh pepperoni from the deli that day and topped it with that but sometimes I will\u00a0saut\u00e9 \u00a0chicken or use\u00a0ground chicken or turkey. \u00a0Pepperoni just saves me time but it has a lot of sodium so that is\u00a0another reason to go easy on the salt with the sauce and veggies.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I shredded my favorite colby jack cheese (it happened to be what I had on hand and I am kind of drawn to the name. lol. \u00a0use\u00a0your favorite) and then put it all together and baked at 400 for about 15-20 minutes until the crust was browned and cheese melted.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
It.Tasted.Awesome!<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
both of my\u00a0kids loved it and kept asking for more. Goes nice with a green salad too.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Let me know if you try this recipe or have another to share that\u00a0your kids love!<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
