Muffin Pizza

Hello everyone!

I've said it before and I'll say it again....

You never know what you'll find on Kristie Kreates!

Today I'm going to show you a quick and easy little lunch

or snack, depending on how much you eat.

Y'all know that I had weight loss surgery this

past June, so I can't eat much at one time.

Well, I was looking for something to eat for lunch

and since we'd just had our first snow of the season

and I was being a wimp about going out in the cold,

I had to eat something I had.  One of the things I needed

to do in that cold was go grocery shopping.

I decided that a little pizza was in order.

All I had was some English Muffins, so I made up some

Muffin Pizza.

I split the muffin open and put it onto some parchment paper.

Then I took a bit of spaghetti sauce, yes, it's from a jar.

I don't know how to make sauce, some day I'll learn.

Then I added some mozzarella cheese and pepperoni

and put in onto a baking sheet and into the oven.

I baked it until the cheese was melted and the muffin 

was crispy around the edges.

I'm guessing it was about 15 min. at 350*

Boy was it tasty!

And, yes, that is a Star Wars plate.

My kids are grown, but I still have the Star Wars plates

and I use them all the time for lunch or snacks.

I'm not a dietitian or anything, but here's a little break

down of the calories and protein

English Muffin 130 calories 4g of protein

Sauce is 90 Calories for 1/2 cup, so barely any for this amount, 

I only used about a tablespoon

Cheese 1/4 cup 90 calories 7g protein I'm guessing I used less than

1/8 cup

pepperoni 15 slices is 130 calories and 6g protein. so 

52 calories and about 2.5 g protein.

That means less than 250 calories and 10g of protein.

Now I don't know if that's how to really figure it out,

but it doesn't sound too bad to me. 

Thanks for stopping in today,

have you ever happened upon a tasty 

treat because

necessity was the mother of invention

like this?

I'm glad I did, I'll be making these again.
