Ideas for Mom Students: 3 Easy Recipes to Make With Your Kid
Students eat lots of unhealthy food. That’s common knowledge (proven by science). Surely, that’s too bad. But let’s be honest: a grown-up person can live on junk food for a while and be okay. After all, students eat unhealthily for the obvious reasons – namely, lack of time, lack of money, and lack of culinary skills.
But what if you’re a student and a mom at the same time?
Feeding young kid(s) hamburgers and French fries is a bad idea. Still, all the aforementioned problems stay with you, don’t they? You don’t have more time, money, or culinary skills just because you have a child. On top of it all, a kid needs to be entertained! So, what’s the way out of this trap?
We’ll tell you. Firstly, spare yourself some time by handling your essays to a reliable service like writepaper.com. Secondly, choose from our easy home recipes that you can prepare together with your kid and have fun making them. Finally, enjoy your meal!

1. Bread Pizza (Pizza Toasts)
Table of Contents
If you love traditional yeast dough pizza (is there anyone who doesn’t?), you may well think that this recipe is an offense to your taste. So, if you’re strongly against making pizza without pizza dough, you can buy it in frozen rolls at a grocery store… But honestly – are you sure it’s good enough to feed to your child?
If you have doubts, follow our advice and replace dough with quality bread. The recipe is super-simple, and the outcome is delicious!
Ingredients:
● Sliced bread (white or wholegrain)
● Olive oil
● Caramelized onion (prepare in advance)
● Cherry/grape tomatoes, cut in halves
● Mozzarella (or any other) cheese, shredded
● Olives (green or black), cut in halves
● Sliced ham, bacon, or pepperoni (optional)
● Basil leaves
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C).
- Sprinkle the baking sheet with olive oil to prevent scorching. Then, space the bread slices on the baking sheet and put them in the oven. Bake for approximately 5 minutes until they begin to toast slightly.
- Take the bread out of the oven and let it cool down a bit.
- Now it’s time to let your kid have a try! Together, top each slice with 1 teaspoon caramelized onion, 1 tablespoon pizza sauce or tomato paste, and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Put some tomato and olive halves on top. You can also add ham/bacon/pepperoni if you like. Finally, garnish with basil leaves and return your mini-pizzas back to the oven. Bake for approximately 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
