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!
Yummmmm, pizza!
mmm turkey pepperoni! and love the pizza cutter
We would love this…anything to make a meal night simpler!
That looks delicious. Sounds like a plan for our dinner tonight.
I love this idea – we struggle every night with this. Pizza is a great solution – this kit would be a huge timesaver.
Ah, I was just thinking it was time for another family pizza night!
I love your blog and secretly hope I will run into you at Tjoes or elsewhere so that I can thank you!
pick me! ; ) Pizza night is the best.
I think we do our part in keeping Applegate afloat, too. Their products starred in 4 meals this week alone!; Monday dinner (beef hotdogs with homemade mac n’cheese and broccoli) Thursday dinner (orange ricotta pancakes with chicken maple sausage) Saturday lunch (chicken nuggets with carrot sticks, apples) and Sunday breakfast (more pancakes, pumpkin oatmeal with their Sunday bacon)
This is right up my alley. I’ve been in a dinner-making rut lately!
Looks delicious!! 🙂
If you’re not feeling that turkey pepperoni, you must be dead.
this would be a super-cute housewarming or new parent present, along with a copy of your book, of course!
I love it! We mostly eat pizza out, it would be fun to try making at home.
Love DALS and would love to get my hands on this pizza kit!
Love homemade pizza this time of year. Fingers crossed to win the kit! 🙂
Yum! Homemade pizza is the perfect treat for meals at the end of the week, when energy is waning.
Love your Book & Blog. I also appreciate Andy’s Longform.org interview. Count me in for the Pizza Prize, please.
Would love to win this! Applegate is awesome.
I love Applegate products. Hoping I win…
I love applegate products – i’ve been a fan for years. And your cookbook and writing keep me coming back for more. Thanks!

It wouldn’t be Friday night without pizza at home or at our friends house…this looks like a great giveaway. Thanks for the chance!
My 3 year old loves Pizza Night, but we don’t make it at home enought. This looks Yummy!
I love DALS and I love homemade pizza. Your crust recipe in the book was a game changer for our pizza nights! Would love to win this kit.
