Pizza Grilled Cheese

by

If you have kids, and your kids are anything at all like mine, you are facing a constant battle when it comes to meal time. My kids would literally eat the same three meals every day and be perfectly content. Because I apparently like to make things harder for myself, I am always trying to come up with new ideas of things that I can cook for my kids that they will love.

Now I know that if they had tried it, they would have loved it, but oh well. Even though my kids didn’t eat it, my husband and I did, and we both fell in love.
