OK so how’s this for awesome: Applegate, maker of high-quality natural and organic meats is offering Dinner: A Love Story readers an exclusive giveaway. And it’s not just because they got wind of the fact that my 10-year-old sausage lover and my 11-year-old roast turkey sandwich addict have, I’m pretty sure, kept them in business for the past decade. Turns out they’ve been doing a little family dinner research that you guys might not find too surprising — 89% of parents they surveyed felt it was important to share a meal together, but nearly half of those same parents cited lack of time, inspiration, and picky eating as major snags. Hence: their Take Back Meal Time mission, and hence a full-on Pizza Making Kit giveaway that dovetails nicely with my mission, aka There is No Dinner Dilemma That Can’t Be Solved By Pizza. The pizza kit includes Appletgate Mini Turkey Pepperoni, Applegate Provolone Cheese, a jar of Jersey-fresh tomato sauce, King Arthur Flour Pizza Crust Mix, a wood-handled pizza cutter, an illustrated pizza tea towel, and a sweet little recipe and information booklet that tells you all you need to know. Not bad, right? One commenter will be chosen at random and must live in the US. Contest ends on Tuesday, January 28 at 8pm ET. Good luck!
Toppings: tomatoes, red onions, peppers, mushrooms, black olives, basil, artichokes and turkey pepperoni.
I am totally feeling the turkey pepperoni.
Update: The winner is Anne (#386). Thank you to everyone who participated!
We loooove pizza! This would be fun to win!
with 4 semi-picky eaters under 11 years old…pizza is our savior!
Pizza! The perfect crowd pleaser for a night with no dinner planned.
Nice! We just gave our 11-month-old twin boys their first pizza on friday–it was a big hit!
Love it and your blog! Thanks for posting this contest, very cool!

Pizza night is our favorite!
I love making pizza at home! Everyone will eat it and it reminds of Saturday nights growing up!
I’m not ashamed to say that pizza is my favorite food! Thanks for the opportunity to contribute to my obsession!
This would be so perfect for a grad student trying to eat healthy while writing her thesis simultaneously!
Perfect timing for me to stumble across this contest: As I lament the absence of a good pizza cutter in my life, the crust for tonight’s pizza dinner rises on the radiator in my bedroom!
Our house is always ready for homemade pizza!
We always use your crust recipe, it is the best!
My family of 6 hosts regular family pizza parties with friends! A new favorite: Lidia Bastianich’s potato pizza crust. Delicious. Would love to win this package.
Build-your-own pizza is fun and a great way to make everyone at the dinner table happy.
We definitely help you keep Applegate in business:) have never seen the turkey pepperoni though. Excited about trying it!
my son is constantly asking for pizza, but haven’t yet found a crust i love without making my own. hope to try this one.
love pizza night!
This sounds great! We used to make pizza a lot on the weekends, but we stopped for some reason. It’d be great to start making pizza again instead of ordering delivery!
What a cool giveaway. We love pizza nights!
My toddler would love to help make pizza!
Every Friday is pizza/movie in our house–sometimes homemade, sometimes takeout, but it’s one of those constants that’s always a winner!
I am so grateful for DALS. Last night I made “fish presents” for dinner and I meal planned for the week using DALS cook book. Pizza for dinner is always a big hit at our house!
Please don’t do giveaways on DALS. They are one of the insidious things that have ruined blogs. They are demeaning to all involved. They basically demand that we beg for free stuff in public.
This is great! We have Pizza and Movie Night every Friday. It has become everyone’s favorite night in the house. We lay out all the ingredients in a train and everyone goes to town! We plan out our menu month by month. Your cookbook recipes are at least 1/3 of the meals. Thank you for sharing and I hope this give away helps families create the necessary time to enjoy cooking and eating meals as a family!!
