The pizza night that we had was so much fun. I was impressed by the ingredients within the Rustic Crust pizza crust that I received. We ended up making two pizzas, one with cheese and one with cheese, onion, red pepper and pepperoni. The pizzas did not take long to make and what was great was that we could get the whole family involved in cooking together. I know that I already mentioned the two pizzas that we made but I would be remiss to not say how easy it was to create the pizza you have in your mind when you have these ready made crusts around.

It did not take too long to bake these crusts and when they came out of the oven they smelled great! On top of this, the Rustic Crust pizza crusts were thick and yet still easy enough to cut.

The taste of the crusts was superb. We loved the doughy consistency of the crust. The bread was fresh tasting and soft and all-in-all just tasted wonderful.

We were very impressed with Rustic Crust pizza dough and you will be too!

Get Ready For A Great Home Run Inn Pizza Tonight!

September 3, 2015 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

I am a sucker for a good pizza, always have been, always will be. Recently I was introduced to a company by the name of Home Run Inn Pizza. I had never heard of this company before, but being from Chicago, and offering a taste of Chicago, what could be better.

In learning about Home Run Inn Pizza I came to find that the company started with three Chicago pizza restaurants and six in the Chicagoland area and grew from there and now are making their pizzas and giving great ingredients and fresh tasting pizza to the country through their frozen pizzas too.

In my local area we found the pizza in a number of local natural food stores and looking at the ingredients I see why. The pizzas were made with all-natural ingredients, homemade sauces and sausage without a single additive or preservative.

The taste of the Home Run Inn pizza was amazingly good and the size was perfect. You could take them for lunch or have them with a salad for dinner if you wanted.

I was really impressed with the flavor, size and price of these great pizzas and think that you will too!

Papa John’s Says Enjoy Pizza This Holiday Season #dadchat #Giveaway

December 22, 2014 by dadofdivas 1 Comment

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and Papa John’s is getting into the holiday spirit. To celebrate this time of family and giving, Papa John’s revealed its latest culinary innovations, the Philly Cheesesteak Pizza and The Salvation Army Red Kettle Cookie. A portion of the proceeds from each cookie sold during this period will go to The Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign, the longest fundraising program for the Army and one of most recognizable sights and sounds of the holiday season.

A limited time product offering through December 28, the Philly Cheesesteak Pizza is Papa’s own take on the traditional flavors and ingredients of the Philly Cheesesteak, stacked up on top of his signature, hand-tossed pizza dough. The pizza is then layered with creamy garlic sauce and thinly-sliced steak made by the famous Original Philly Cheesesteak Company. Additional toppings include fresh sliced onion and green peppers, then covered with mozzarella and provolone cheese and baked fresh for the whole family to enjoy.

The Red Kettle Cookie, another unique holiday twist on Papa John’s popular treat, the Chocolate Chip Cookie, was created in partnership with The Salvation Army to support the annual Red Kettle Campaign. By teaming up with The Salvation Army on one of the most recognizable sights and sounds of the holiday season, Papa John’s is providing customers the opportunity to support this organization by purchasing a delicious holiday treat.

Also, until December 31, for every $25 spent on a gift card purchasers get a free large one topping pizza. Check it out here – http://www.papajohns.com/papacard/index.shtm

My Take on the Pizza

I was given the opportunity to try out this pizza and as you know I have two girls. For them this was an amazing gift and we were able to use it online. What we loved was that no matter are we are able to simply go online and get the pizza that we wanted when we wanted it. Ordering online was easy and the pizza was ready when we needed it to be. I remember back in college when we got pizza all the time from Papa John’s. I wish that they had this ordering feature available then. Alas, we were not able to as it was before they had online ordering.

If you have never had Papa John’s Pizza you should. It has amazing flavor and the amount of toppings that you get on the specialty pizzas was remarkable. I, for one am very impressed with what you get when you purchase a Papa John’s pizza and think that you will be too!

Having an electronic gift certificate to order pizza was such a great way to go. I was able to order without having to worry about any money and it covered everything that I needed. With that in mind I have to say that I could easily see giving this to another person this holiday season. Check out the deals on Papa John’s giftcards today!

Grilling Pizza With @Pillsbury Makes Dinner Fun

May 25, 2014 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

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!

Have A Fun Family Pizza Night With @Pillsbury

January 24, 2014 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

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.

What would be on your Pillsbury pizza?

Tony’s Pizza – Fun for You & the Family

March 12, 2010 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Tony’s Pizza. All opinions are 100% mine.

People say that I am a bit of a pizza snob. I love pizza and when I say this, I love good tasting pizza. So when given the opportunity to try out Tony’s Pizza, I did not know what to expect. I had tried Tony’s Pizza in the past and it was good, but it had been a number of years since I tried it last.

My family also loves pizza, so we were very excited to try out Tony’s Pizza again. So we made a fun family evening out of this. We went to our local Meijer and got some Pizza. I was amazed at how easy it was to make the Pizza (I had forgotten as it had been a while).

After making the pizza and trying the pizza I have to say that it was much better than I last remembered. The crust was very good and crispy. My whole family loved the pizza and my kids even wanted seconds! I definitely think that this pizza will be a staple for our family nights together, whether for movie night or game night or just a family dinner together, this pizza seems to fit the bill!

So I definitely would say that if you like pizza, check out Tony’s Pizza for yourself and see if you agree with my opinion.
