Preparing a wholesome and delicious dinner every day is a challenge many busy families face. Between getting our kids ready for school and taking them to their nightly activities, we barely have time to squeeze in dinner together as much as we’d like. To be honest, many weeknights are a bit of a blur at our house! I’m excited to announce I’m participating in the Weeknight Wins by Sauté Express^® Sauté Starter Blogger Challenge from Land O’Lakes.

Easy White Pizza with Sausage

The Hungry Housewife — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 11:06:48 +0000

Don’t look at this pizza for one second and think my kids ate this.

They did not.

Boring kids that they are, they got cheese.

Friday night is homemade pizza night at our house.

Those kids of mine get cheese, but I always mix it up for the mans and I.

Ok, we all get that I’m weird…a bit off…so I’m just gonna come out and say it…..

I don’t like red sauce on my pizza.

I mean, sure I’ll eat it and all..I’ll eat anything you put in-font of me. But I prefer a white pizza.

Mix up a ricotta mixture with some spices and olive oil, slather it on the crust, top with random things..mmmmmm.

Also, I’m not a big Italian Sausage person either. ewww.

Well, Johnsonville sent me some coupons for their new Chicken Sausage.

I had the 3 Cheese Italian Sausage.

Ohhh, lord have mercy it was good. Like super good.

I only cooked one to slice and put on my pizza. But after I tasted it, I cooked up two more so the hubby and I could munch on them while the pizzas were cooking.

I have been cheating lately and using Flatbread Pizza Crust. My fav is Stonefire.

Beef and Pepper Flatbread ($10 meal)

The Hungry Housewife — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 12:14:10 +0000

Are you loving the $10 meals?

I had such a great time creating them for Sweetbay Supermarket. All the recipes needed to be tasty, easy, family friendly AND $10 or under. And this Beef and Flatbread Pizza is no exception.
Don’t get sucked into the freezer department to pick up a frozen pizza. Those are so boring.
I love using Naan Flatbread as my pizza crust base. There is no messing around with pizza dough, it tastes delicious and it gets nice and crunch on the bottom. It’s a win win situation.
If you ask me, pasta is the perfect side for pizza. My tomato garlic pasta is not only easy but it is packed with flavor.
Are you sensing a theme here?
Easy and delicious!

Sweetbay Supermarkets Butchers have a tip to cut out some of the fat from ground beef….
“Cook without seasoning. Rinse briefly with hot water in a colander and blot dry. Return to the pan for a minute and add the seasonings to taste.”

You can find Sweetbay Supermarket on Facebook.

Flatbread Naan White Pizza

The Hungry Housewife — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 11:48:03 +0000

Pizza dough is for the birds. Don’t get me wrong, I make pizza all the time for my kids using fresh pizza dough,but it’s a pain, and all they want on the pizza is cheese. So they get plain ol boring cheese pizza with leftovers for their lunch.
For the hubby and I, I make Naan pizza. You get 2 pieces in a package, so thats one for me and one for him. I love it because I can make my own personal “pizza” with all the toppings I want and then a personalized one for the hubs.

Have you not seen Naan in your stores. Mine keeps it by the deli.
Stonefire is my favorite, it has perfect texture and it somes in 3 different flavors, Original,Garlic and Whole grain. Pick up some Naan next time you are at the store. You will be pleasantly surprised at the delicious-ness and the million things you can do with it!
I have been buying their brand for a while now, but they did send me some for free!! Wahhooo, the perks of being a food blogger.

There is not much of a recipe, just throw what you like on your Naan. And throw it in a 400 degree oven until the cheese melts. Below is the recipe for my Naan Pizza

Cuban Pizza

The Hungry Housewife — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 16:48:00 +0000

Have you tried my Roast Pork with Black Beans and Yellow rice yet? No? Shame on you..I don’t want to be your friend anymore( Yeah, I am at home with sick kids and a sick self, so I am feeling a bit childish!)

Well if you did make it you probably had some left over pork. And here is an interesting way to use it up.

So you know my husband, the one who cant boil water, the one who doesn’t even grill?? Uh Huh, that’s the one. He said many moons ago he ate “Cuban Pizza” at a baseball game. Well it sounded totally disgusting me me. But I will give anything a try once(ok, well maybe not anything, but you get the picture). Cubans..no not the people..the sandwich is another Tampa food. The Wikipedia definition is… a sandwich created by Cuban workers, either in Cuba or in the immigrant community of Ybor City in Tampa Florida. Later, Cubans brought it to other communities in southern Florida, particularly Key West and Miami where it is very popular. The sandwich is made with ham, roasted pork, Swiss cheese, pickles, mustard, and sometimes salami on Cuban bread.

So Cuban Pizza it was and I just so happened to pick up some pizza dough from the bakery, so I was ready to go.

Let me tell you how wrong it felt spreading mustard over a pizza dough! I was actually grossed out. But with an open mind, I continued……

CUBAN PIZZA

1 Pizza dough

Mustard

A bunch of Mozzarella and some Swiss cheese

Dill Pickles

Left Over shredded Roast Pork

Adobo Seasoning

Preheat your oven to 500 and put your pizza stone on the bottom rack. Preheat for a good 30 minutes.

Roll out your pizza dough.

Spread is with a nice helping of mustard( I know I know..just trust me on this one)

Cover it with the mozzarella and Swiss cheese

Put on the pork and pickles

Sprinkle with a bit of Adobo Seasoning.

Bake in the over for about 6-8 minutes or until the crust is browned.

DAMN IT, my husband was right(again), it was delicious!!!!
