This last minute idea came to me because I am slightly nuts. I made a rectangular pizza in a sheet pan and cut it into squares but there were not enough for everyone to have 2 pieces so I cut 3 squares in half. I wanted to give everyone equal amounts of crust so I cut 3 corner pieces in half diagonally. When I was putting the pizza on the plates I realized they looked like houses so I quick cut a few pepperoni doors and got out some Jell-O men that I happened to have on hand that day. So sometimes it pays that I have this crazy way of thinking and need to divide things equally, I never would have discovered how easy it is to make pizza houses! Next time I’ll know that I am going to make houses ahead of time and I will be more prepared with decorations. Pepperoni made nice doors and I could add some olive doorknobs, cheese windows, and some salad for a lawn. I had been doing make your own pizzas with the kids but when I let them shape their own dough it never comes out how they like it and they don’t eat much.  I can let the kids decorate them themselves but I like the idea of having them add the toppings after the pizza is baked and then they can get straight to eating and not have to wait 20 minutes after they do their decorating.

*Jell-O men are made using a silicone mini gingerbread tray, I was so happy with how easily the Jell-O came out of the silicone tray and I hope to find some other mini shapes to use for Jell-O.
