This rice dish that tastes just like pizza, a kid favorite! Your child can help chop the tomatoes and mash and stir them over the stove (if you're comfortable with this step). Finally, they can top the tomato-rice mixture with shredded cheese and then enjoy the final tasty dish!

"Learn to Love Veggies" Tip

Here is a great opportunity to talk with your child about all of the great condiments that tomatoes can be found in such as ketchup, pasta sauce, and pizza sauce! Having them help out with this recipe will make it so that they are more likely to try it and not be alarmed that tomatoes, a.k.a the "pizza sauce veggie", are in this dish.
