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!
Pizza is our go-to, as well. The kids love to “paint” their pizza (apply the sauce with a basting brush).
PIZZA!!!
Every time I see my nieces we make pizza. Plain cheese for the 2 younger girls, Pepperoni for the oldest and Ham, Gruyere and Caramelized Onions for the grownups
My mom always insisted as we were growing up that we do family dinner because “kids whose families don’t eat dinner together do drugs.” To this day, my brother and I make fun of her, but it’s one of the only activities we insist on when we come home from college!
We’re big into pizza night at my house and I’d love to try the Applegate turkey pepperoni and cheese!
Make PIZZA, not war!
Fun, I’m in!
Applegate and King Arthur–what a great pairing! Pizza sounds great right now (-45 degree windchill)!
Love this idea! I just got a pizza peel and this would be great to break it in!
I’d love to make pizza with this kit! I love pepperoni, but a lot of brands have nitrates and artificial junk in their meat. The turkey pepperoni sounds good!
A wood handled pizza cutter would be a big step up from my kitchen shears!
Pizza is one of the few things that pleases the whole family, and we would love to try the turkey sausage!
great idea! love applegate – and pizza!
i love making the DALs pizza! but i’d take a crack at this, too! pick me!
Love this and especially interested in trying turkey pepperoni.
I love making pizza at home, but I’ve yet to transition to making my own dough. Maybe that will be my next goal!
Yum! Pizza is a big hit in our house, even without the cheese, if you can believe it!
I changed my work schedule to eat dinner with my kids. Pick me!!
We love DALS, we love homemade pizza, and we love Applegate! This is a win-win-win!
this is so awesome!
That would be so great and yummy in my house.
Homemade pizza is just the cure for the Polar Vortex!
Would love this – pizza is usually a weekend lunch at our house..
Yum! Love making personal pizzas for dinner.
This would be an awesome prize!!
