Try Baked Hummus Pizza Instead Of A Cheesy Pie

By Anna White


Parents often have a hard time encouraging their kids to eat right all of the time. This is usually true for those who cannot always be at home with them after school. Serving them healthy meals when away at work can be quite the challenge but not impossible. And making meals that do not take a lot of time or labor is even more realistic. If one were to take a good look at the possibilities, they may come up with a few surprises. However, foods like baked hummus pizza have a lot of flavor and are filling.

Kids these days are pretty smart and will often show initiative for having a better quality of life. Many are aware of the fact that they should not sit all day and have more than one basic food group every day. Yet, there are times when they need to be nudged and made to realize that consequences may lay ahead.

Bean dishes are great for this since they are loaded with fiber and are versatile. Many recipes out there that call for many varieties of beans or legumes as a main or satisfying side dish. With the right seasonings, anything is possible. This makes many pizza varieties that are congruent in any diet plan. If this seems ridiculous, one should look at the ingredients that make most pizzas a sinful meal. There are many substitutions that can make this tasty and good enough to eat often.

The great thing about potato dishes is they are versatile and sometimes inexpensive. Generally, potatoes are fairly easy to prepare and finger foods are no exception. Miniature baked potatoes can be made in less than a half hour using roasted fingerling or small red potatoes. After the spud has softened, top with anything from bacon and cheese to sauteed mushrooms and garlic. Afterward, add garnish and serve to guests.

Hummus, which is made with garbanzo beans, makes a great dip and can even be used in place of oily spreads in sandwiches. It is loaded with fiber, potassium, and most recipes are low in sodium and sugar. If a kid knows how to chop carrots and onions, they can easily create a meal that will fill them up after a long day.

It is also a lot more filling and easier to digest than cheese. Although some people like to gorge on cheese strings that come multiple layers of melted cheese on a hot dish, the taste is not worth the trouble. Since most cheeses are made from dairy and oil, they can sit in the stomach for a few days, which made lead to more junk food in the meantime.

Teaching kids how to cook early can benefit everyone. Even if they just start off learning how to rinse produce or fresh meat, it can save parents lots of time. Although pizzas are perceived to be unhealthy, it is one of the most convenient foods to make at home and can be healthy with the right ingredients.

While not every kid may grow up to be a chef, teaching them these basic skills can raise their confidence levels. They can also learn responsibility, how to account for mistakes, and learn something outside of the classroom. Parents should also keep in mind that eating at home saves a lot of money and time, especially when there is more than one person to feed.
