My kids come home super hungry after school. I have found that a lot of the packed snacks out there are expensive and full of stuff that they do not need. I love pinterest. Here are a couple of the after school snacks that will be on the menu this week.
This recipe is an oldie, but goodie! I had a big zucchini that needed using up and I was sooo in the mood for these yummy (and guiltless) zucchini pizza bites!! A perfect way to use up all the zucchini in your garden and satisfy your craving for pizza in a low-carb way.
I make these all the time, sometimes for lunch or as snack. Even my husband thinks they are pretty darn good! They also happen to be gluten-free, and perfect for meatless Mondays. Of course, you could add some leftover sausage, pepperoni, basil, or whatever you like on your pizza. If you haven't tried these yet, they are a must while zucchini is in season!
Note: My zucchini was very large, if your zucchini is smaller, you can cut them on an angle for large ovals.
