Unlike many parents I know, we don’t serve our children “special” kid-friendly foods. And at restaurants, we only order off the kid’s menu less than half of the time. When our children began solid foods, we decided to try as much as possible to avoid preparing two completely separate meals. While I did use some organic baby food, I also pureed, mashed, and chopped up foods that my husband and I were already eating. The result is that both of my children will eat things like Japanese Teppan, Vegan Chili, and Tuna.
Many parents struggle to get their children to eat something other than chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese. I was very excited when Bumble Bee announced they would be partnering with Chef Scott Leibfried to create a series of kid-friendly recipes. I could totally make this English Muffin Pizza with Vegan Cheese, homemade pizza sauce, and a whole grain dairy/egg-free bread! Here is the recipe:
English Muffin Pizza with Tasty Tomato Basil
Ingredients
1 can (5 oz) Bumble Bee Sensations® Seasoned Tuna Medley Bowl, Sundried Tomato & Basil
2 English muffins, bagels or pieces of French bread
¼ cup store bought pizza sauce
½ cup shredded mozzarella
6 slices garden tomato
2 leaves fresh basil, torn
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Split bread of choice in half and spread with pizza sauce. Sprinkle with cheese and add tuna.
- Add sliced tomatoes and place on a baking tray. Place in oven and bake until cheese has melted.
- Sprinkle pizza with torn basil.
Super easy right? Stay tuned! I’ll be sharing another kid-friendly recipe next week!
