Recipe - Pizza Scramble

Whenever I add the word "Pizza" to anything, my oldest son will definitely eat it!!  We call lasagna "pizza pasta" so he would be more willing to eat it, quesadilla used to be "mexican pizza" - you get it.  This is a great way to sneak in veggies and extra protein into your kids diet.  Also let your kids help you unroll the crust and press it into the pan, measure out the ingredients and beat the eggs - I find that kids are more willing to eat something if they helped make it.  I found this recipe years ago in Parenting magazine (Feb 2008) and my kids have loved having "breakfast for dinner".  Enjoy...
