Mini French Bread Pizzas
It seems that most lunch times in the summer months are a chaotic ordeal to say the least. Feeding up to 10 kids in one sitting takes pre planning and pre prep on most days. If it wasn’t for a stockpile of kid friendly meals in the freezer, I would be one insane mamma. These little Mini French Bread Pizzas were originally just a way to use up leftover hot dogs buns from a grill out, but turned into one of the kids favorites!
