Another Day, Another Pizza

HOMEMADE MEXICAN PIZZA that is!
That's right, the museum group of MHC-After 3 students
found themselves once again in the kitchen
on Tuesday with a new-twist-on-pizza recipe and a simple 3-ingredient
Peanut Butter Cookie recipe in their hands.
Protein in the pizza was provided by a layer of refried beans
and black beans, instead of tomato sauce there was salsa, and
the mozerrella cheese was replaced by mexican cheese!
With jalepenos to spice it up!
As for the easy 3-step cookies, the participants combined equal parts
of sugar and all-natural peanut butter with an egg. (Happily avoiding
flour, baking powder, vanilla, and butter and measurements!)
