3 Bite-size food recipes
Mini BLT pizza pies
Serves 8
Not only are bite-size snacks perfect for kids' tiny hands, but they are a great way to help manage portions as well! Instead of serving a large pizza where it's easier to eat a few slices, serve up mini bite-size pizzas, where even four of them don't equate to two full-size regular pizzas. Plus, these aren't just great for easy weeknight meals either! Next time you need a few quick appetizers for a last minute party, give these recipes a try! Easy and delicious, for adults and kids alike!
