Bring on the Holidays!

December is only hours away, the holidays can officially start!!!

My favorite month of all the winter months is December! The Christmas decorations, lights and cheer that is everywhere is hard not to love! Sure all the hustle and bustle can get a little much as the month goes on, but it's all in good fun!

There are so many great activities to do with the kids during the month of December... everything becomes about Christmas. Christmas baking, Christmas crafts, you name, it's all about Christmas!

Now that December has hit I can begin my yearly traditions with the kiddies without any eyerolling from my hubby!

To mark the start of December and the official countdown to Christmas, tomorrow I will be making Christmas Tree pizzas with my kids!!! You can make them too... so super simple! And yummy and healthy too!!!


Here is what you need:
•
• 1 English muffin
• 1/3 cup Marinara sauce
• 2 slices of mozzarella cheese, sliced as broadly as possible and about 1/4-inch thick
• Chopped olives

Here is how to make it:
Preheat your oven's broiler.
Cut the English muffin in half, if necessary, and toast it in a toaster on a medium-low setting.
Place the two toasted English muffin halves on a baking sheet. Spread the marinara sauce on each muffin.
Cut your cheese slices with a tree-shaped cookie cutter or a cookie cutter of your choice. Place the cheese shape on top of the marinara sauce.
Sprinkle the chopped olives on top of the cheese tree, as if they are ornaments.
Place the baking sheet in the oven under the broiler. Broil for just a few minutes, watching carefully. You don't want the cheese to become so melted you don't recognize the tree shape.
Allow to cool slightly and serve.
