Pizza Muffins {freezable recipe}

easy pizza muffins

My son will go to first grade tomorrow.  He was getting his getting his lunch ready for school and I walked into the kitchen and stopped him just as he was spreading the jelly on some bread.  He looked shocked but everything inside me was screaming this:

I will not be a peanut butter and jelly lunch sending mommy this year.

I will not.

I will not.

So, I took his unfinished sandwich and placed it in a baggie and hid it.  When I only had one kid in school I was super creative with their lunches. I would make cute little bear sandwiches, fire truck shaped meals, turkey shaped apples for Thanksgiving…

Kids used to beg to switch lunches with him. Yup, I was the bomb and the kids loved me. I used to get stopped in the hall when kids saw me with my son and they would ask me if I could make their lunches.  Did you notice how many times I used the phrase”use to”?  Yes, that was long ago.  Once I had to start preparing lunches for 3 kids I was all about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches but at least for the first week or so of school, I would like to believe that I am not a peanut butter and jelly lunch sending mom.

After the first week, then I can resume with the normal lunch meals.

I made some delicious Pizza muffins for him!  I am going to freeze the rest so that I can have them on hand for at least 2 more lunches.

    I found these on pinterest and I am super excited to try them. I have pepperoni and mozzarella on my shopping list and will try these out this weekend. I love freezer friendly meals and I think these will be great for my big kid (my husband, ha ha) to pack in his lunches for work.
