3) Toaster Oven Pizza Bagel:
Ingredients: bagels, spaghetti sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese
Lightly toast a bagel of your choice (plain, sesame, garlic or onion bagels work well for this recipe). Cover with a layer of your favorite spaghetti sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese. Put your assembled bagel back in the toaster oven at about 400 degrees for a few minutes, until the cheese is melted or golden brown. Remove and give the bagel time to COOL! You may want to cut it in half and make sure the spaghetti sauce is not steaming before serving.
4) Easy Cheesy Quesadilla:

Sprinkle cheese over tortilla and fold in half. Heat a slice of butter in a skillet pan and add folded tortilla when butter starts to sizzle. Let the quesadilla cook for 30 seconds and flip back and forth until tortilla is golden brown and cheese is melted. Delicious!

Ingredients: Round crackers, peanut butter, straight pretzel sticks, raisins
Smear the cracker with peanut butter, use the sticky peanut butter to arrange 8 pretzel stick “legs”, use the raisins to represent eyes and…. there you have the yummiest spider ever!
