This is how you do a fun healthy lunch for kids!

Melanie's friend was over for lunch the other day, so I wanted to make something fun and kid friendly... but healthy too, so I used an old favourite. Little English Muffins Pizzas.  We used to make these all the time... but a little 'unhealthier'. White english muffins, full fat mozzerella, and pepperoni. 

This time, I made them healthier! I used whole wheat english muffins, turkey pepperettes and added green peppers and used part-skim mozzerella. They were a big hit! This is how I do it:
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut the english muffins and place them on a cookie sheet. Put a bit of tomato/pizza sauce. Add cheese and toppings and bake for about 10-15 minutes until the cheese is all melted and the english muffin is warmed through.

I served them with cucumbers and carrots and low-fat ranch dip.


And for dessert... fresh cut up mango, strawberries and blueberries with a little chocolate peanut butter haystack.

Here's the nutrional information for the whole meal:
