Homemade Pizza Pops

Okay, so I got this idea from a friend of mine and decided to try it out one night and now this is my go to recipe for a fast meal on the go! Pizza can be a fairly healthy meal option, but often the store bought pizza pops or pizzas have things in them that are a little troubling. I always like to make things at home rather than buying them pre-made at the store and so when I got the idea for homemade pizza pops that were quick and easy to make, I jumped on it. Okay, I'm done ranting, on to the recipe!

Take 2 slices of bread (now this is why this can be healthier...you can choose the kind of bread to use, allowing you to make healthier choices), spread some pizza sauce (You can just use store bought pizza sauce, but if you have a pizza sauce recipe, that would be yummy) on both pieces of bread. Next, add the toppings of your choice (again, you can make healthy choices and aren't constrained by the limited options of the store's selection, not to mention that you can make veggie pizza pops without your kids seeing the veggies they don't like) and finish the 'pizza pop' off with some cheese. Put the two pieces of bread together, essentially making a sandwich, and then put it in a sandwich maker if you have one. If you do not have a sandwich maker, do not despair, what you need to do is treat it like a grilled cheese sandwich and VOILA! Homemade pizza pops.

I loved it, it took all of 5 minutes to make, if that, and I felt very satisfied afterwards because it felt like I was eating an instant meal, but I knew exactly what I was eating and that I didn't need to feel bad about eating it, lol. Try it out and let me know how it turns out!
