Mini Bagel Pizzas

Today I'm excited to share with you a super easy snack that even your littles can put together. We used this idea for the brownie snacks badge and the girls loved it. There are so many ways to use this recipe!

• Brownie Snacks Badge
• After school snack
• Pizza lunchable
• Camp recipe (with box oven)

What you need:

• Mini bagels
• pizza sauce
• mozzarella cheese
• spoon

Instructions:

1. slice the bagels in half (open face). Try to get a brand that has them pre-sliced to make your life easier.
2. Spoon 2 spoonfuls of sauce on each half and use the back of the spoon to spread.
3. Sprinkle cheese on top!
4. If you want to take it a step further you can pop them in an oven at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.

These make a great after school snack or you can pack the components in their lunch for a pizza lunchable. I would recommend getting the little cups to put the sauce and cheese in. When we did this with our girl scout troop I had the sauce and cheese divided into these cups for them to make it slightly more organized. You can also store the cheese and sauce cups in your fridge so the kids can help themselves.

How to Make Refrigerator Pickles

These pickles are so yummy and they didn't last more than a couple of days in the fridge because my hubby ate them all up! This year we planted

Boston Pickling Cucumbers

. We had so many I just had to try pickling my own. These cucumbers are also very delightful by themselves. I'm pretty sure these are okay on my current

diet plan

.

Ingredient

5 cucumbers

4 cups of white distilled vinegar

5 cups of water

6 cloves of garlic

2 teaspoons of red pepper chili flakes.

*You can also add dill to this recipe. I, however, did not because we didn't have any in the pantry.

1.  Clean and wash your cucumbers. Once they are washed slice them length wise.

2.   Arrange your cucumber slices in your Ball Jar. 

• Add 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes per jar
• Add 3 cloves of garlic to each jar

3.  In a large pan, boil the water and white vinegar. Once it comes to a boil, ladle into each jar. Fill to the very top and put top on. Screw the ring on tightly. 

4.  Turn your jars upside down a couple of times and allow them to sit on the counter for 12 hours. Turn your jars again and allow them to sit upside  down for another 12 hours. 

Enjoy!
