Homemade "Pizza"

After having the boys out for errands all morning, the thought of stopping at yet another store to get supplies for making pizza exhausted me. So instead, I went home and realized the necessity (or just plain old being tired) is, and always will be, the mother of invention....

We ALWAYS have bread on hand. We ALWAYS have some kind of pasta sauce on hand. We ALWAYS have mozzarella cheese on hand. So, I used a rolling pin to flatten out a couple pieces of bread, smeared a tablespoon of sauce over each piece, and sprinkled some mozzarella cheese on top. Just to add some interest aka "pepperoni", I used the circular end of my pineapple corer (a dosage cup from toddler medicine probably would have sufficed as well) and made smaller circles out of bologna and put them on top. Popped them in the toaster oven until the cheese melted and by that time the bread crusted up enough to keep it from being a big soggy mess (if I had used the microwave). The boys LOVED IT and never questioned it being actual pizza. You could even finely chop up some veggies like broccoli and cauliflower to add to the sauce just to make sure they get a good dose of veggies but as long as there is sauce cheese on it, they probably wouldn't care.

I thought it was the best idea I've had since cutting up their PB&J with an apple corer! :)
