Making Heart-Shaped Pizzas

Houston has shut down for the day due to an Arctic front which was forecasted to bring sleet and snow.  The children were very disappointed with the outcome of the storm:  no snow--just freezing temperatures and a few mini-icicles.  However, the kids' enthusiasm rebounded with the idea of homemade heart-shaped pizzas for lunch.  




The smallest cook in the house will provide step-by-step instructions for making the pizzas.  1.  Using your hands stretch and flatten refrigerated biscuit dough.  2.  Spread your favorite pizza sauce on top.


3.  Add the toppings of your choice.


A good pizza is always topped with a black olive or two.


4.  Take an occasional break to taste-test some of your favorite fresh toppings. 


5.  Add mozzerella cheese.


6.  The more cheese the better. 



7.  Make a few pizzas for Mom and Dad using all the toppings. 


8.  Place pizzas on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375 until golden brown.


Bon appetit!

Those are some seriously cute pictures!

Sorry you didn't get any snow--we had an inch or two here and kids were so happy. (I was, too: I canceled school and read while they played outside.)

That is the perfect way to enjoy a slice or two on such a cold day. I love Caroline taste testing the pineapple.
