Kids Cooking  

 

      Pizza is delicious and nutritious served at any meal.   Begin with a crust of prepared biscuit dough and partially bake.  Cover with a creamy cheese sauce.  Finally top with meat and a variety of vegetables.  Choose kitchen scissors to cut up bacon, onions, and tomatoes.  Canned sliced mushrooms and ripe olives can also be added to the topping.   Cooked ham or sausage can be added or substituted for bacon.  Turn off the oven after baking.   Always clean up.  Parents love a clean kitchen.
