Pizza Pita "Lunchables"

Lunch box alert! Kids dig Lunchables. I get it. They're brightly colored with those rad segmented trays and that shrink wrap stuff on top. Seriously though. Do I really want my kid having a Butterfinger and Kool-Aid for lunch every day? Not to mention they are way too spendy. 

Also, it's April. Enough already with the PB&Js and the turkey/cheese wraps, right? I packed these last week because I was out of bread and, as they say, necessity is the mother of invention, n'est-ce pas? And my precious snowflakes lost their sh*t they were so excited.
Easy. Cheap. Healthier than some options. So, just grab a pita and cut it into 8 "pizza slices." I give each kid four pita wedges. Then use those little cups (souffle cups, I think?) and give them some pizza sauce, mozzarella, and whatever toppings they like. I suppose a good parent would have green peppers and other veggie offerings. Hey, my ham doesn't judge you, so don't judge my ham. Include a little something for spreading the sauce. Ta-da! Happy kids, happy mom.

(and, yeah, that's a Nuts 'n' Seeds Granola Bar in the back!)

☠ Enjoy your poison. ☠
