Vegetarian Pizza Bombs - the most delicious bite full of marinara sauce, vegetable and cheese - great finger food!

When we were kids my folks always hosted the "kid" get-togethers. Almost every New Year's consisted of a ton-o-kids at the house. My Dad would transform the garage into a pingpong playroom. We even had a  shuffleboard they'd set up so everyone would have something to do.

In the house there would be tons of board games. Kids in pj's and staying up most of the night. I seriously wondered how my folks put up with all the racket and craziness, but as I've gotten older I understood. Fun and laughter is music to my ears!

Meals were always easy food that would please a crowd and it HAD to be affordable. Homemade Pizza was always a favorite! Really nothing has changed, right? 😀

Are you hosting family gatherings? Is the holiday season a good time for you or is it stressful? I think my best tip is not putting too much on your plate (schedule-wise). Keep the food and drinks easy! It's ok to ask others to bring a dish and pitch in. I think that's one of the best things my folks instilled in me. Life is about the memories, not about the stuff!

Let's talk about these pizza bombs and let me show you how easy they are to make! These are so simple you can even have the kids help you!

You'll start by dicing an onion and green pepper into a small dice. Sauté it for just a few minutes to soften the vegetables. Next you'll take the biscuits and place them on a baking sheet. Flatten them out.

Add a small spoonful of sauce.

Spoon adding sauce to the middle of a small piece of pizza dough.
Add the sauce - just a spoonful.

Next the sautéed vegetables.

Spoon adding vegetables to the middle of the pizza bombs.
Next add a small spoonful of sautéed vegetables.

And a bit of cheese.

Hand placing a small chunk of cheese in the middle of the pizza bomb.
Add a small chunk of cheese.

Seal each one carefully and turn them over - seam-side down. Brush with butter and garlic. Into the oven they go!

Brushing top of dough with melted butter and garlic.

See how easy these are!
