The kids got snow shovels for Christmas and were so excited to see snow on the ground today. They were not so thrilled, however, when I told them it was too cold to play outside. The temperature today was all of 12 degrees this afternoon with a wind chill of -2, so going outside was out of the question.
They love to help me in the kitchen, so to take their mind off their disappointment, we made tortilla pizzas with faces on them. It is super easy, healthy, and yummy too. We took a whole wheat tortilla and topped it with mozzarella cheese. Then we put another tortilla on top of that and spread it with sauce. The toppings were their favorite part because they got to use more mozzarella for hair, pepperoni for the mouth, and green olives for the eyes and nose. These baked in the oven at 350 until the cheese was melty (you could easily do this in the microwave too!). I love ideas of things to do on cold or rainy days, so I thought I would pass this along in case you want to try it when the weather turns ridiculously cold again (or when it rains, which should happen this weekend with the 50 degree weather we are supposed to get...gotta love Ohio!). Here are some pics. of my little chefs with their works in progress:
