Easy Pizza

Kids' Cooking Skills: This recipe lets kids experiment with pizza combinations and teaches them how to prepare a lunch food.

Ingredients

One loaf white bread (like Wonder bread)

1 3/4 cups bottled marinara sauce

2 cups grated cheese

2 cups sliced precooked sausage or 1 pkg

lunchmeat or 1 pkg Canadian bacon

1 can sliced olives

1 can crushed pineapple

Give the kids a rolling pin and roll the bread so it is somewhat flat. Now your child can spoon sauce across each slice. Then he/she should sprinkle on the cheese, followed by pieces of sausage or meat and other toppings as desired. Bake on the center oven rack at 300 for a few minutes, until the cheese melts. Have Mom use a spatula to slide the pizzas onto a plate and let them cool slightly before eating. Serves 6.

Home Evening Hint

Make a "Busy Bee Work Chart" Make a large beehive. Make a spot on the hive for each job in the family. Color as desired. Glue the beehive to a piece of cardstock. Then make a "Busy Bee" on cardstock for each member of the family. Write the names of your family members on the bees. Let each person color his or her bee as he or she desire. (After Family Home Evening you may want to take the chart and bees and have them laminated.) Attach the bees to the hive with tape. Change them around as job assignments

change. The children will think it is fun to see where their "Busy Bees" are every day.
