The Very Hungry Caterpillar-Foodie Experience

Most children are fimilar with this really great story The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle I thought I would share this recipe coupled with this story that took place in one of my recent childrens cooking classes. Oh and moms the children will love getting in the kitchen to help make what turned to be a great hit not only for the kids that took this class,but my 3 children at home loved making this dish aswell.

Ingredients:
2 round (6-7" size) whole-wheat pitas
6 ounces spaghetti sauce
3 ounces part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup chopped vegetables (onions, peppers, mushrooms, spinach, olives -- your choice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F. Spread half the sauce on each pita round. If you're using chopped fresh spinach, add it now, before the cheese, so it won't dry out too much.

Top with cheese, divided between the pizzas, and then vegetables.

Bake at 350F for 15 minutes on a pizza pan or cookie sheet.
