I am all about an easy dinner.

Especially one that my kids won’t groan or gag at.

Last night we made red beans and rice and my little guy took one bite of the beans and started gagging at the table.

Such a nice reaction to the the meal I spent the last HOUR preparing.

It’s those precious moments that I need to remind myself that I am supposed to love them ALL the time.

My kids aren’t the pickiest eaters out there, but when something crosses their lips that they don’t enjoy, gagging seems to be their first impulse.

Nothing better than going extreme to get your point across.

Anyhow, most kids like pizza.

And most adults.

Because it’s basically the perfect food.

Which bring me to these Pull Apart Pizza Breadsticks, which are a fun spin on pizza…and can totally be used for an appetizer.  Because really, a meal disguised as an appetizer is the best idea.

And THAT is why my jeans are tight.

Let’s talk breadsticks…

Also, apparently breadsticks is 2 words.  Which I find super annoying.  SO I’m going to continue to spell it as one.  Take THAT dictionary.

 

Just open you a can of breadsticks and separate it into 2 equal parts, stretching the dough so it’s a little thinner.

Top that with cheese. All the cheese…

Then top that with your favorite pizza topping.  In this case we used pepperoni because we aren’t creative at all.

Just make sure to chop your topping into smaller bits…

OK, place your remaining breadstick sheet on top of all that and brush with garlic butter.  YESSSSS…

Sprinkle parmesan cheese all over the top.  Or even more mozzarella is you’re feeling cray!

If you have a non-pepperoni lover in your house, aka the gagger, let’s make cheesy pull apart breadsticks instead.

Fill it with just cheese and top with more cheese and a little parsley to look pretty!
