Dinosaur Approved Dinners - Pizza

PIZZA PIZZA We made pizza... PIZZA! Dinosaur LOVES pizza. Making the pizza is ALMOST as fun as eating it.



We add some Ragu pizza sauce, pepperoni, and left over meatballs. Pizza is a great way to use leftovers in the house. Toppings can be chicken, broccoli, sausage, carrots, pineapple, pork, green beans, hummus, olives, or any toppings you like. That's what's great about homemade pizza, there are NO rules and you make it the way YOU want.

If I don't watch dinosaur he'll eat all the toppings and try to eat the sauce all before we finish the pizzas. He's a hungry dino.



In our electric stove it only takes twenty minutes until they are perfectly ready for a hungry dinosaur with a huge appetite. I put them right on the rack, to ensure the bottom is crisp but not burnt.




Mini pizza's are perfect for Dinosaur to hold and take a crazy dinosaur bite. It is important for dinosaurs to try to fit the whole slice in their mouth. YUMMY!



What dinners do you love to make with your kids? How much do they help?

  1. Love, love, love this! It's so fun and easy to get kids involved. In addition to pizza, it is fun to do a kid friendly version of a taco bar. If they're not into the traditional mexican flavors, you can get creative. Miles likes hummus on his tortilla and my baby cousin does pb and j with banana in his "taco".

    1. Oh I love those ideas! Oh, maybe a guacamole pizza! Getting kids involved in cooking makes them want to experiment with new foods and eat what they made.

    1. pizza stone? I have to look into that. No, right on the rack, though I should try it on our cast iron skillets.
