Homemade Pizza Pops

My mom used to make homemade pizza pops often when I was in elementary school. I was always so proud that my mom could make something from scratch that all the other mom’s bought at the store. In fact they were my birthday meal request for my 8th birthday party. Poor Mom! She had to whip up a wackload of these puppies to feed an army of little girls. I can still remember how special I felt that day and how proud I was.

I have simplified them a bit from the way my mom made them by rolling out the dough and cutting it into squares (she cut out circles and used a press to seal them together). Although they don’t look quite as purty they are an easy alternative to the store-bought variety.

“Throwing something frozen into your child’s lunchbox is a great way to beat the morning rush. It also means that you won’t have to worry about food going bad because the frozen item will slowly thaw throughout the morning and help to keep any other food cool.

When deciding what items you want to freeze for school lunches it’s important to keep in mind how they reheat in the microwave. You don’t want to send something in your child’s lunch that will just become a gloppy unappetizing mess once the lunch hour hits.“
