You know 'em, you love 'em...and you need to be reminded of 'em! A lunchtime fave here for moms and toddlers alike. Yonder recipe makes a super-tasty lunch for one hungry mom and one toddler (yields 4 mini-pizzas).

2 English muffins
Prepared marinara-style spaghetti sauce (like Ragu)
Shredded mozzarella cheese

1) Split English muffins, giving 4 halves. Place halves, insides up, on a cookie sheet.
2) Spread muffin halves with spaghetti sauce.
3) Liberally sprinkle sauced-up halves with cheese.
4) Bake in preheated 400-degree oven for 7-10 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

To serve my toddler, I usually slice up a "pizza" into 6 wedges for easy picking up. You can get as fancy as you like; chunky spaghetti sauce, for example, makes the flavors even more interesting and potentially nutritious, and obviously other pizza toppings could be added to this base. The best part about this recipe is that it is a guaranteed scarf-fest for my picky toddler -- we make these at least once a week. Also very budget-conscious -- unused English muffins can be frozen until your next pizza experience; remaining sauce can be used for quick pasta dinners or lunches later.
