English Muffin Pizzas

Ok, so English Muffin Pizzas aren't the most extravagant meal I've ever made. But, I'm a real mom with a real family who likes to eat pizza! These are really fun to get the kids involved in cooking. They're also great because they're customizable and anyone can have the toppings they want.

I don't usually buy English muffins because they are kind of heavy on the carbs (gotta love T1D...). But they were on sale and as soon as I saw them, I thought of English muffin pizzas. Call it an 'impulse purchase' but it worked out really well!
