Applegate Pizza Party in a Box Giveaway

It's no secret I LOVE me some Applegate.

I mean I did a whole lunch series with them back at the beginning of school, I buy their Sunday Bacon in bulk at our BJ's, and I always have some form of their cheeses on hand 

{another not so secret, I LOVE cheese}.

When I heard they had come out with new mini pepperonis in turkey and pork options, I was stoked.

And my excitement continued when my Pizza Party in a Box arrived.

When I pulled all the goodies out and said to the kids its PIZZA night, they responded with 

"Can we have calzones?" 

Um, sure why not.  

Cause pepperonis aren't just for pizza right?!

A little bit of important info on these tasty bites that will make you feel good about feeding them to your clan:

-100% vegetarian grain-fed pork or turkey - no fillers

- No antibiotics

- Less fat and sodium than conventional brands

- Made from humanely raised pork and turkey

- No hormones

- Perfect on pizza, salads, a meat and cheese board, and just snackin’

We leaned towards the turkey, thats not to say the pork isn't delicious.  But I think since we have been using turkey pepperonis for so many years it was just a taste and texture we were more use to. 

And yes I have a "fancy" calzone maker.  It's really not necessary but the kids love to flip it and cut the excess dough off so we use it. 

And for a little extra veg option I also made zucchini boats. Simply half and cut the ends of, then scrap the seeds out.  Fill with sauce, add you pepperonis and cheese and bake with your calzones or pizza.  

All in all I think Applegate has another home run on their hands. 

And they want to send one lucky person their own Pizza in a Box to see for themselves!

What We ate Wednesday. {Calzones}

Last night was one of the "those" nights.

You know the kind.

You really do not want to cook.

Hubs is going to be really late, so scratch him bringing home anything.

You really do not want to drag screaming kids out by yourself.

So you dig.

I dug and we came up with calzones.

Found this in the fridge {I love Publix, just sayin}

Grabbed some other odds and ends.

Took out our handy dandy calzone maker, yes we own a calzone maker, and yes we make enough to own a calzone maker. Williams Sonoma for 14 bucks, check it.

Mine had a little done lappage.

Onto an oiled pizza pan. Dizzled a little olive oil, sprinkled some pecorino on top, and cut a little hole on top.

Another reason we love making calzones, cause Buggie can make her own. She loves it.

Poor thing had two shots yesterday, she is such a big girl.

She is very cute, notice the little stems she tore off her spinach.

The final list for mine, portabella mushrooms, ricotta cheese, sauce, spinach, artichokes, roasted red peppers, and prosciutto. Man I love calzones.

Not too bad for a dug out dinner.

Now show us what you got!

Just link back to me somehow in the post, please and thank you.
