I love easy recipes. I think my regular readers know that at this point. I love finding ways to make quick food because I have a super busy family. With kids in University and a hubby who never knows if he will have to stay late at work I have learned to roll with the punches.

I try to have some wicked easy recipes I can make when life gets out of hand. Which is almost daily around here. Especially when school starts back.

My daughter’s schedule for school is wacky. Some days she only has a couple of classes, other days she’s at the U for more than 12 hours. So this is something I can make super fast on days that throw us curve balls.

We could all use a little inspiration this time of year. So a bunch of bloggers got together to help share ideas with you for back to school. We have recipes, crafts and organization tips. Sure to help as the school year kicks off.

Be sure to scroll to the bottom to enter this great giveaway. We have $350 Cash up for grabs. That would come in really handy for back to school supplies.

Our hosts are Kelley of Miss Information and Rachel of i {love} my disorganized life. Thanks to both ladies for hosting.

Now on to the recipe. Hop you dig it.

These mini pizza buttons are super easy to make and perfect for lunch, dinner or a snack!

These are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, they make great after school snacks and are perfect for lunch boxes. When I do them for lunch boxes I leave off any meat, when I do them for after school snacks or dinner I usually load them with meat. Piling lots of vegetables on top is the perfect way to load them for lunch boxes in my opinion.

    These pizza buttons remind me of pizza bagels I ate all the time growing up. Nice to be able to make them homemade! Since really tiny bagels are hard to find lol

      Thanks Amanda. I’m the same way. With everyone running in different directions we need quick and easy here. Plus stuff that can be reheated since we never know if someone will get held up somewhere.

    How totally cute are these!! I am definitely booking marking this for my kids. Pizza is one dish served well hot, cold or at room temp so they totally work in the old lunch box. 🙂
