So our daughter hosted her first sleep over this past weekend and we all had such a good time. I bought some ready made pizza dough from our local Italian specialty shop, Russo's. The kids (both 4 years old) did a great job pushing and pounding out their dough balls into pizza shape discs.
I put out a "pallette" of ingredients for them to work with. Again, they did a wonderful job. I encouraged them to make faces.
The next morning we made animal pancakes. I just made a simple buttermilk pancake recipe and used a regular spoon to spoon the batter into shapes. I used one of my favorite products, Cascadian Farms Organic Frozen Berries. We just sprinkle a little sugar over the top and microwave them for 30-60 seconds, then stir gently.

For tomato sauce I cheated and used a simple small can of the stuff. I had polenta on hand which I used to coat the pans so the dough wouldn't stick. I turned the oven up as far as it goes and put the pizzas in, checking them often. I'd say it was about 10 minutes to done.
