This week the children had decided that we would make pizza bagels. They used team work to cut up all the toppings which included: pepperoni, salami and mushrooms. Then the children got to take a whole wheat bagel and add their pizza sauce (three different varieties), toppings and cheese. Then into the oven it went to melt & get nice and gooey. The best part was eating them. They were delicious!!

Often grouped with vegetables, mushrooms provide many of the nutritional attributes of produce, as well as attributes more commonly found in meat, beans or grains. Mushrooms are low in calories, fat-free, cholesterol-free, gluten-free, and very low in sodium, yet they provide important nutrients, including selenium, potassium (8%), riboflavin, niacin, vitamin D and more.(http://m.mushroominfo.com/benefits/)
Cheese is an excellent source of protein.
One thick slice of cheddar cheese (28 g) contains about 6.7 g of protein, which is similar to what you get from a glass of milk.
The majority of proteins in cheese belong to a family of milk proteins called casein.
Milk proteins are of excellent quality, rich in essential amino acids, and highly digestible.
Casein is the largest family of proteins in milk, the most abundant of which is alpha-casein.
It has some unique health effects and may promote lower blood pressure and increased absorption of minerals from the digestive tract. (https://authoritynutrition.com/foods/cheese/)
