Family friendly meal - pizza casserole

Growing up this was one of my favorite meals and it is now one my my girls and husband’s favorites too. It’s so simple and while not completely clean eating, it is a healthy family friendly dinner choice!   First preheat the oven to 425 or the temp instructed on the pizza crust package. Then cook a pound of meat on the stove and add in some frozen chopped onions and then abou 1/2 a cup of pizza sauce. Spray a casserole dish and then line it with pizza crust, I used the Kroger brand.  Pour the meat over the crust and add your favorite topping. I put only turkey pepperoni on one side for Caroline. Courtney likes olives so I covered half with them and also added mushroom pieces to Matt and my side.  Cook the casserole for all but 4 minutes of the time on the crust instructions. Then add cheese and cook the remaining 4 minutes or until the cheese is melted and crust has a few brown spots.  Serve a portion with salad or fruit and enjoy! 

It is hard but will make us stronger and closer.

I won’t lie. This is Hard.  Working from home.  Homeschooling.  Training a puppy.  Being a mom.  Being a wife.  Staying home everyday.  Not eating out.  Meal planning.  Cooking. It is stressful but thankfully I have amazing help and support.  I think the support is most important.  Having friend to talk with and share concerns and ideas.  Meeting online through conference calls and FaceTime.  Hearing and reading that others are struggling too and learning how they handle the change makes it better!  My girls are doing amazing playing together and completing homework. Yes they get tired of one another and need space but overall they get along, play and are making fun videos!  Caroline completes most of her homework sheets independently and Courtney is there to help her or she comes and asks mee. Others she completes too fast and just as I get into a task, she knocks at the office door and asks me to check her work. We created a schedule and it has really helped
