My stomach is growling for these Pizza Bites (from For the Love of Cooking)—pillowy balls of pizza dough filled with cheese and pepperoni with a side of pizza sauce. Yum!

The following is a guest post by Ideal Bite's Mama Bite contributor Jennifer Orr. My girls love, crave, go nuts for junk food...basically anything with little or no nutritional value. To satisfy their cravings and my must-be-good-for-you standards, I've learned some tricks to turn their favorite fast food into a somewhat healthy dinner (and for healthier snacks, try these makeovers).

My MIL made us yummy (but healthy!) Sweet and Sour Chicken Strips for dinner last night. It's a quick, little recipe that you can mix up the night before, marinade overnight, and then grill on skewers or broil in about 10 minutes. Serve with rice and a veggie, and you've got an easy meal! I've also included her recipe for Dipping Sauce—which is optional, but I find goes quite nicely with the strips.

Kids love Mummy Dogs for Halloween, so why not Mummy Pizzas? These are made with pizza dough (I'd use English Muffins), sauce, string cheese, and black olives. Visit Kara's Kitchen Creations for the easy how-to.
Do you prefer Mummy Dogs or Mummy Pizzas?
