Ok, I need your help, readers. I need your ideas for healthy and fast food ideas for my two boys. My youngest will eat ANYTHING, literally. My oldest is much pickier. He would live on chicken nuggets, fried okra, bananas, strawberries and milk if he could. I’d love for him to have a more rounded diet and am looking for tips on how to do this.

One thing that is fast and the boys really enjoy is pizzas made out pretty much any type of bread with whatever leftovers we have.

We also keep whole wheat pitas on hand (in the freezer) so I’ll take a couple of those, brush them with olive oil, pizza sauce (I use the Great Value brand because it’s cheap and tasty, but any type is good), cheese and a few herbs and spices.

I even “let” my oldest son help me pick out the spices on occasion. See?

Here is a finished pita pizza…

I also make pizzas out of left over biscuits from breakfast. We usually have one or two left so I split them and then do the same process as I do for the pita pizzas. Plain bread works too! Sometimes, if we have leftover chicken, broccoli or other meat and veggies, I put that on top too to increase the healthiness of it.

Now, it’s your turn, I’d love to hear your recipes or ideas. This will help me out immensely (and our readers too). If you use a store brand that you like, I’d love to know. I am also out for a good bargain!
