We love pizza in our house and never really need an excuse to eat it... 

Imagine my surprise when I found out that October was National Pizza Month!!!
I have to admit, I do not think in all my years of living that I have ever made a pizza at home.  
We normally just buy one and go on about our business.  Luckily for me, we had a chance to review the pizza sauce from Classico ( We LOVE their pasta sauce!)  so what better day to make a pizza than today?!



First up, huge thanks to Classico for the great box full of goodies for us:

The highlight of this box was the pizza sauce assortment that we were sent.  There was the traditional pizza sauce, then they also included the Fire Roasted Pizza Sauce and their not yet released White Pizza Sauce.

Broxton was so excited when I told him we would be making pizza at home...
He loves when he gets to help me cook, although he enjoys eating everything while he is helping!

First up, we went with a classic pizza.
I bought the store bought dough, pepperoni, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms and cheese.
I let Broxton help with spreading the sauce.... and we all learned that daddy is not a fan of much sauce, he wanted the least amount possible...   Broxton (and I) kept wanting to add just a touch more, but daddy thought it was perfect.    I spread the veggies out and then let Broxton help me with placing the pepperoni on there... I think he did great, if I do say so myself!!!!
Helping spread the delicious Classico Traditional Pizza Sauce.

Quality control.  He had to try it out to make sure it was just the right flavor!!!
Once we had the pizza made, I decided that I wanted to try and make something else...
I was dying to make something with the white sauce...
So, I grabbed a thing of crescent rolls, grilled chicken, smoked cheese, garlic and onions...
I tried to do the cute little roll ups that I have seen people make, but it was just not meant to be... 
Chef, I am not...
I tell you though... they both tasted great...  just not the best looking... 

Finished White Pie Concoction.

The traditional sauce was great, as if there was any doubt!
I do have to say, I loved the flavor of the white pizza sauce, but I was expecting it thicker and creamier and it was a bit to runny for what I expected.  (We decided to dip the white pie into the sauce, versus trying to add it to the roll up.

    I am torn between the fire roasted and the white. They are both unique, so I think I would have to try both.

    One pizza we make that the kids love is a chili dog pizza. We put chili in place of sauce with diced wieners, onions and cheese.

    My recipe is for french bread pizza. You get a day old loaf of french bread at the store (which is half price!) and top it with fresh veggies (red peppers, onions, olives, red onion, fresh mushrooms, zuchinni). Cover it with mozzarella and..voila! The kids eat veggies and they don't mind it!

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on...
