So instead of the chicken parmesan last night we decided to make pizzas. This pizza was so awesome, even my hard to please 6yr old loved it.
~Ingredients~
- 1 bag fresh, pre washed spinach
- 3 tbsps olive oil
- ready made pizza crust
- 3-5 tbsps of your favorite Alfredo sauce
- a handful of mozzarella shredded cheese (we really like the Kraft with Philly cream cheese)
- crumbled feta and crumbled goat cheese
- Italian seasoning, salt and pepper and garlic powder
Saute spinach in a tbsp of olive until completely wilted
Grease a pan with remaining olive oil Spread dough evenly in the pan making it thin except for the edges. Spoon on the Alfredo sauce to how you like it. Top with cheese, spinach and Italian seasoning. Bake according to directions on dough package or until the pizza is brown and bubbly on top and enjoy!

Better For You Broccoli Chicken and Cheese Casserole
This is a healthier variation to the traditional heavy casserole.
~Ingredients~
- 1 lb pkg boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 pkg frozen broccoli
- 1 can Campbells Reduced Fat Cream of Mushroom soup
- 1 pkg Kraft Triple Cheddar with Philadelphia Cream Cheese shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper
- Brown Rice
Preheat oven to 350.
Cook rice according to box/bag directions.
In a sauce pan, add soup, a handful of cheese and broccoli.
Cook until broccoli is completely thawed and somewhat soft.
Cook chicken (either grilled, baked or in a pan on the stove is fine whichever you prefer). Then chop into cubes.
In a casserole dish mix all the ingredients together, add salt and pepper.
Top with cheese and bake until cheese is melted on top.
Enjoy with a side salad or your favorite veggie!
Yummy Hot Dog Wraps
These have to be one of my favorites. Though not very good for you necessarily, however they are very budget friendly and very tasty :)!
~Ingredients~
- 1 pkg Hot dogs (we prefer Ball Park meat franks)
- 1 refrigerated tube of pizza dough
- 4-8 slices of American cheese
- 1 tbsp butter
- a couple dashes of garlic powder and kosher coarse salt
Roll out pizza dough and cut into 8 strips.
Add cheese slice so that it will be covered by dough.
Starting at the bottom of the dough, roll the hotdog completely up, trying to cover it completely.
Place on greased baking sheet.
Melt butter, add salt and garlic powder and brush over top.
Bake according to pizza dough directions or until golden brown. ( we like to brush them one more time with the butter)
Serve with your favorite hot dog. Condiments and a veggie and enjoy this tasty, budget friendly meal!

Chicken Parmesan Made with Kraft Fresh Takes- Plus Review
Awesome chicken parm made with Kraft Fresh Takes.
~Ingredients~
-1lb thin sliced chicken breast cutlets
-1 pkg Kraft Fresh Takes- Parmesan Rosemary
-1 8oz block of mozzarella cheese (shredded)
-1 jar of your favorite pasta sauce
-1 box of your favorite pasta
Mix Kraft Fresh Takes according to package directions and coat the chicken cutlets.
Bake chicken according to directions on pkg.
When the chicken is cooked turn your broiler on to a low setting (I use about 250-325).
Top with sauce and a little of the mozzarella cheese and bake under the broiler until brown and bubbly.
Cook your pasta according to box directions ( I like al dente).
Mix pasta with remaining sauce and serve with a side salad or your favorite veggies.
Enjoy! This is super tasty and if you are light on the cheese it makes for a hearty but light home cooked meal.
~Review~
I have used regular breadcrumbs for years to make this recipe, however nothing tastes better in my opinion than the Kraft Fresh Takes. The chicken gets crispy and is so flavorful, there is no need for any other seasonings. I am definitely a permanent user from now on with anything that needs to be breaded!
