When you are looking for new ideas for dinner with your family Pillsbury has just unveiled a great new way to make a kid favorite, pizza. Whenever we have made pizza as a family in the past it always was the regular way, using Pillsbury crust and baking it in the oven. However, as it is getting warmer, I spend a lot more time using the grill and I love finding new ways to be able to make fun items on the grill as well.

That being said, I was excited when I read the following watched the below video that explained the steps to take to grill a pizza.

In watching this, I decided to try this out for myself. I found that the instructions were clear and it really did only take about 20 minutes in all. The biggest thing that you need to be wary of was to watch and make sure that you did not burn the crust by having the grill too hot (I did this on my first try). Once I learned my lesson I found that as long as you watch this, you are easily able to make a crust that is nicely toasted and grilled exactly the way you want it to be.

Once you do grill your pizza, you then top it with the toppings that you want. We went a bit traditional with half being cheese (for the kids) and half have sausage, pepperoni and onion. Be aware the the more toppings that you put on the longer that it may take to cook the entire pizza!

Overall, grilling pizza was fun and something that the kids could really get into making themselves, which is always fun, as I tend to find that the food they help make, they eat! I also liked knowing when was going into my pizza and having control to the ingredients itself.

If you have never grilled pizza before, I highly recommend it!

Below is my quick video showing the process I used to make our pizza!

When it comes to family time I am always looking for ways to find more and to do more with the kids. This surrounds all aspects of my life, from playing to even finding common activities that we can have fun with together. One way that we have done this in the past is through cooking. Whether it was baking cookies, making smoothies, or just working together to make dinner there is something about the whole family coming together to have fun making something that we all will love.

I was excited to get a fun Pizza DIY kit from Pillsbury that provided me with some great coupons for free pizza dough as well as a few other fun items that were perfect for making pizza after a long week at work. We put the coupons to work and went out to buy a few items!

We decided to make two pizzas, one that the whole family would like and one for the adults! What was great was that everyone got into the act. From the shopping trip where everyone picked something (or a few things) to add to the pizza. To the preparation where we talked about cooking while we were doing it, making it educational and fun…everything together was a blast and something that we all enjoyed.

The pizza dough was easy to use, and I was impressed with the thickness as well as how well it all gelled together. As I mentioned, we made a kids (pepperoni and bacon) pizza and I found a recipe for a buffalo chicken pizza on the Pillsbury website that looked amazing so we tried this as well.

The pizzas came together easy enough and in only a short amount of time we had two great pizzas that both the kids and we loved! I think we are sold, and we are already thinking about the next concoctions that we can have at our next family pizza night.
