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!
Yum! Love making personal pizzas for dinner, great idea!
Ironically, I just made your pizza dough from Time for Dinner the other night…it was fantastic!
Pizza! The one food everyone in our house can agree upon!
This is awesome! I love Applegate and your blog has made me a total believer in homemade pizza!
I love a good homemade pizza! This is a great giveaway.
Applegate is great!
We love pizza! I could eat it every day, I think. And homemade pizza tops (no pun intended) any other kind, hands down.
Ah, pizza night! A life saver at our house, too!
We also keep them in business- love their breakfast sausages! What a great giveaway.
We love Applegate products around here–they make the best hot dogs! Can’t wait to try the pepperoni. Pizza does make everything better!
My son loves making (and eating!) pizza anytime. We finally made pizza from scratch recently and it was so much fun. For a shortcut, we’ve used naan bread, english muffins, and tortillas as a basis for more impromptu pizza nights. : )
Nothing says family like a pizza and movie night.
Yum! We love Applegate — always have their deli roasted turkey and maple breakfast sausage in the fridge/freezer!
I love pizza and agree that it can solve all sorts of problems!

Applegate is my favorite – pick me!
I’m in love with Applegate hot dogs. Unfortunately, my kids are weird and don’t like hot dogs–but they do love pizza!
Great giveaway! Thanks. We love homemade pizza night, and for the one kid in the family who doesn’t, we make a calzone instead.
We have pizza every Friday night! This would be great 🙂
Wonderful giveaway! Thanks for the chance.
This is fabulous! Can’t beat a wholesome, delicious family pizza night.

We made homemade pizza last week and used Don Pepino sauce like you suggested. It was delicious!
