It’s like a pizza meets a taco meets a muffin. What!!!

My mom used to make us pizza bagels after school when we were little and I thought it was the absolute coolest. They weren’t exactly these Healthy Taco Pizza Muffin Cups, but who else chows down on homemade pizza while they’re doing long division? She’d also bring me the yummiest warm lunches to school, like piping hot rigatoni with red sauce from Alesci’s with a brownie for dessert when everyone else was eating peanut butter and jelly. The woman loved food and loved me even more.

My parents raised us on exciting, creative meals and snacks never short of fruits and veggies and FUN. They taught me the true meaning of balance, of celebrating food for what it is—a gift. When I wanted a snack, my mom ask me after first if I wanted some strawberries or whole wheat crackers and if I wasn’t in the mood, she’s never forced anything on me. My dad would make a wild Saturday night for us around linguine with clam sauce and chocolate souffle. I looked forward to winter every year just for the smell of his corn and wild rice soup. I thank my parents for an extremely positive relationship with food that began as early as I can remember.

So last week when I was craving pizza but had no bagels, I thought of my mom and had the brilliant idea of turning Simple Mills’ epic pizza dough into little mini pizza muffins! But not just any pizza muffins. Ones that taste like TACOS because who doesn’t love salsa and pepper jack and roasty toasty corn for an afternoon pick me up? Or for the lunch of your wildest dreams.
