Quick & Easy Mini Garlic Toast Pizzas

Quick & Easy Mini Garlic Toast Pizzas

This recipe is so simple even the kids can make it! It only requires 3 basic ingredients plus the toppings of your choice. If you like pizza, how can you go wrong with a garlic toast crust?

These mini pizzas are popular at my house on busy week nights, or for lunch on the weekends when we don’t have anything planned. You can top them with the toppings of your choice: pepperoni, jalapeños, olives, peppers, mushrooms, etc.

Simply bake the garlic toast according to the package directions, but pull it out of the oven about 2 minutes before it’s finished.

Then add your sauce, cheese and toppings.

Place back in the oven on the broil setting for 2-4 minutes, and voila! Dinner.

Apple Fruit Donuts – Ingredients:

 Food Coloring (optional)
 Sprinkles

*you’ll also need an apple corer or something to make the hole – or you can use a pastry tip like we did.

Step 1. Slice your apples about 3/4″ thick. Use a knife, corer, or pastry tip to make a hole in the center.

Step 2. Color you cream cheese if you’d like. We just added a drop of neon food coloring to get these bright colors. Add sprinkles.

How to make a bubble snake maker

How to make a bubble snake maker?

  • Bottle
  • Scissors *
  • Elastic band
  • Flannel, face cloth or an old sock
  • Bubble mixture and water
  • Food colouring (optional)

Find a clean, empty plastic bottle. 

Using a pair of scissors or a craft knife (and  *adult supervision), help your child by cutting the bottom off the plastic bottle.

With your kids, cover the open end of your bottle with a piece of fabric that is similar to a washcloth or cotton sock.  We used a flannel and cut it into a circle shape (to keep the ends from dipping into your bubble mixture).

Secure with a rubber band to keep the fabric in place. No elestic band then don't worry just wrap it in tape.

Make your own bubble mixture (the mixture isn’t safe to drink)

Homemade bubble mixture is a doddle to make, but you really need to remember the magic ingredient!

  • Washing up liquid
  • Water
  • Glycerine (found in the baking section at the supermarket)

Mix 3 tablespoons of washing up liquid with 250ml of water (distilled water gives the best results) and add 1 tablespoon of glycerine.  This mix is best left overnight to settle before using.

Place your bubble mix into a shallow bowl or plate.

Dip the fabric in the bubble solution and give the bottle a blow.  Blowing slowly produces the longest snakes.  We had a lot of wind and it kept blowing our snakes away!
