Back to School Bubble

Back to school time is bittersweet for many parents. Gone are the "I'm bored" afternoons of the summer, but so are the lazy days. Instead, in addition to getting the kids to school in a way that has them mostly ready for the day, we're faced with an ever-increasing list of after-school activities, PTO meetings, fundraisers, and play dates. It's sometimes a wonder that we manage to feed our families dinner at all, so it's especially lovely when you get a chance to do so with the help of your kids. Case in point:

That's a beautiful pan of pizza. Pizza? Well, kinda. Imagine the wayward child of bubble bread and pepperoni pizza. Now, in addition to being pretty quick and easy to put together, it is also a great dish to make with kids. In fact, if your kids are a little older, they could make it entirely on their own. Older kids can cut the biscuits and pour tomato sauce. Younger kids can layer on pepperoni and sprinkle it all with cheese. In the end, your group effort gives you this:

Now, of course, you can tweak the toppings on this dish the same way you would any pizza. Prefer sausage and olives? Go for it. Looking for one with a tex-mex twist? Use salsa instead of tomato sauce and chorizo, olives, green onions, and taco cheese as toppings. You get the idea. Make it yours and dig in with your family. This school year is going to be just fine!
