This is a compensated review from Ragu and BlogHer.
A few weeks ago, I got a delivery box full of bubble wrap, packing peanuts (which my children proceeded to dump on the floor multiple times!), and several jars of Ragu sauce.
Armed with my jars and several recipes from Ragu’s website, I headed to my kitchen.
Wait a minute. Scratch that…the “my kitchen” part.
I actually packed up several Ragu jars along with the rest of our vacation supplies and drove them down to the beach, where I proceeded to use them in our condo kitchen.
Pizza Bagels
One of the recipes from Ragu was for an easy homemade pizza. The recipe called for a pre-baked pizza crust, but I opted to use bagels instead, so I suppose I made Easy Homemade Pizza Bagels. To sauce the bagels, I used the Ragu Pizza sauce. I’ve seen this in the stores before but I’ve never bought it. I generally just buy the larger jars of Ragu sauce and use those to top my homemade pizza.
The pizza sauce seemed to be a bit thicker than regular Ragu tomato sauces, which is handy for pizza-making endeavors. Aside from that, though, I didn’t see a marked difference between the pizza sauce and regular sauce, and considering that the pizza sauce is more expensive per ounce, I’d probably recommend sticking with a normal-sized jar of Ragu.
On the other hand, if you’re single or have a small family, buying a small jar might help you to avoid wasting sauce. There are six of us, though, and we eat pizza weekly, so tomato sauce rarely goes to waste at Chez Frugal Girl.
You can use Ragu pizza sauce for pretty much any homemade pizza application…French Bread pizza, thin-crust pizza, and deep-dish pizza, to name a few. I also use Ragu (the regular sort) when I make calzones and stromboli.
Chicken Parmesan Alfredo
One of the jars I chose to bring held Alfredo sauce, so I decided to try the Chicken Parmesan Alfredo recipe. I have an aversion to baking chicken breasts (I always seem to over cook some of them because chicken breasts are never evenly sized), so instead I cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise to make thin chicken cutlets. This makes the chicken pieces all about the same thickness which makes it so much easier to cook them evenly.
After cutting the chicken, I dipped the cutlets into the beaten egg, covered them in Italian bread crumbs, and then sauteed them in a bit of butter until they were cooked through. I heated the Alfredo sauce in a pan and used it to top the chicken, which turned out quite beautifully. The sauce added a lovely aesthetic touch to the chicken.
I have to say, though, that I was more impressed with the sauce’s looks than its taste. Perhaps I’m not used to a cheesy Alfredo sauce (although I do add Parmesan when I make my own Alfredo), but I just thought the sauce had sort of an odd flavor. For the record, I am normally an enormous fan of anything creamy, so I was surprised that I didn’t like this.
I did like the actual chicken recipe though, at least with my modifications, so I would highly recommend trying that for an easy dinner. If you’re not a big fan of Alfredo sauce, you could try topping the chicken with a tomato-based sauce from Ragu.
Chicken Margherita
The third recipe I tried was Chicken Margherita. I cut my chicken breasts into cutlets for this recipe as well. Happily, this recipe instructed me to cook the chicken in a pan instead of the oven. Yay! I followed the recipe otherwise, although I didn’t need to cook my chicken pieces quite as long as the recipe suggested since my pieces were thinner. And since I am 450 miles away from my basil plants, I didn’t garnish my chicken with basil. I’m positive that fresh basil would only have improved the recipe, though. I don’t think you can possibly combine tomato/tomato products with fresh basil in a less-than-pleasing way!
Without the basil, the dish was good, but not terribly exciting. If you need a quick and easy dinner, though, and aren’t looking for something super gourmet, this might be a good recipe to add to your repertoire.

I would like to try the Chicken Margherita. I’m a vegetarian, so I would substitute the chicken with a veggie chicken patty. It looks absolutely mouth-watering!
I want to try 1-2-3 CHICKEN CACCIATORE & SLOW-COOKED CHICKEN BURRITOS.
I had no idea you had a seperate review blog!! I checked out the recipes and would love to try the pizza that you had pictured first!! It looked yummy!
But to I am also thinking of trying the Baked Cheesy Penne w/ Veggies!!
mellisarock at yahoo dot com
Mmmm! I’m a big Ragu fan (cause I’m a lazy butt!). The upside-down deep dish pizza recipe on Ragu.com looks delicious!
It seems like the link to the BlogHer reviews is broken??
I would like to try the chicken cacciatore. In fact I am headed to the store to get the items so I can try it myself.
I would love to try the Double Cheddar and Chicken Burritos. My family and I love Mexican food.
1-2-3 CHEDDAR BROCCOLI CASSEROLE is the one I will try this weekend. My granddaughter has been asking for broccoli in cheese sauce! Thanks.
I also blogged about your contest.
http://gthfaith.blogspot.com/2009/10/next-person-to-have-little-girl-there.html
Baked chicken fingers is the recipe I will try soon. My boys love chicken and spaghetti. Great way to put the two together!
Thanks:-)
I’m going to try the meatballs — most meatball recipes seem to either have pork or cheese (neither of which goes with meatballs in my kosher home) but I found a recipe on the Ragu site that sounds promising. I’m going to give it a try this weekend.
I think the upside down pizza looks interesting. I always make my own pizza at home (at least once a week!) and I always buy the jars of pizza sauce. I might take your advice and just use regular pasta sauce. Have you ever made homemade pizza sauce or do you use regular pasta sauce?
Wow those pizza bagels look really good. My family used to do that as kids or use English muffins or French bread.
Either way, it’s super easy and when kids are hungry you want to do something fast.
I’d most like to try the upside down deep dish pizza recipe.
I blogged about this:
http://grand-giveaways.blogspot.com/2009/10/visa-100-gift-card-sponsored-by-ragu.html
I would like to try the Mama’s Best Ever Spaghetti & Meatballs recipe.
Wow, I’d never thought of the ragu site as the place to go for recipes, but there’s a bunch of yummy, healthy, inexpensive stuff to make there. The Braised Spinach and Polenta is high on my list to try!
Think I’d try the Sausage, Peppers, and Onions-looks like a good easy meal for a busy winter night.
(tried your breadstick recipe last night-LOVED IT-so easy and so good)
The Upside-Down Deep Dish Pizza looks interesting, we usually make regular pizza on Friday nights but I think that this will make a nice change.
Cheddar Broc casserole, wth fresh broc and real butter. For some reason and to my great frustration, I can not get cheese sauce right. It always breaks on me.
The Chicken Fajita Grilled Pizza looks very good as we have pizza night once a week and need a change!
The Shrimp Marinara sounds really good. Fast, easy and simple,it couldn’t get any better than that. I have some shrimp in the freezer that I need to use up and this will be perfect.
Mmm, Twice-Baked Cheddar Ham Potatoes…that sounds great!
I love English muffin pizzas, so I would definitely try it with Ragu in their Mini Pizza Snacks. However, I think it’s fabulous that Ragu lists a recipe for Matzo Pizzas for Passover!
I’ll be making the easy homemade pizza this weekend for my daughters birthday party with her friends!
I love the frogs and ladybugs. What a fun way to add good food to your next children’s party. I may even adapt it a little for our Halloween dinner–you know smash the frog a little and add ketchup to make a smashed frog. Gross, I know. It’s only for Halloween!
The Hearty Baked Rigatoni looks yummy and easy to make. It’s hard to go wrong with baked pasta
I’d love to try the cheddar broccoli casserole. I love anything with broccoli! And a $100 gift card would definately help my budget this month!
I would love to make the Ragu no boiling lasagna. That sounds delicious!
The Chicken Margherita looks so yummy. I think my family would really enjoy this dish.
I would love to try the Hearty Baked Rigatoni. I LOVE baked pasta and rigatoni is my favorite noodle. I’m going to try pizza with the regular ragu sauce too! I always have that on hand but I thought regular pasta sauce would be too watery for pizza and never wanted to spend the money on actual “pizza sauce” Thanks for the tip!
The Ragu No Frying Chicken Parmesan looks delicious, easy & most importantly budget friendly!!
(Everything you cooked looks delicious too!)
HEARTY BAKED RIGATONI looks yummy!
I would go for the BRAISED SPINACH & POLENTA recipe. Polenta is delicious! As are most things with cornmeal. =)
Definitely spaghetti and meatballs- it’s a favorite around our house and I’m always looking for yummy variations! Thanks!
Upside down deep dish pizza from the Ragu site looks yummy!
I’d definately like to try the upside-down deep dish pizza!
That upside down pizza looked most interesting for me to try. Although your pizza bagels looked really good!
I did not know you had this site. Ok now I will be going into the kitchen and getting something to eat. I’m hungry! Yummy!!
i want to try the upside down deep dish pizza
@Michelle
SLOW COOKER SPINACH LASAGNA is what I would like to try and forgot to add it to my comment:(
The HEARTY BAKED RIGATONI sounds delicious! Anything with the word ‘hearty’ in it is usually a winner in our house!
Ooooo I want to try the Upside-Down Deep Dish pizza. I never thought of going to Ragu to get recipes…I usually just go to the Food Network! My fiancee and I just made a Chicken Scallopini last week.
Mmmm the chicken fingers and the brocc. casserole look great to me. Thanks for the giveaway.
1-2-3 CHICKEN CACCIATORE
I think that my family would love the 1-2-3 CHEDDAR BROCCOLI CASSEROLE .
The 1-2-3 chicken cacciatore looks good and easy!
MMM upside down pizza looks good. i just bought Ragu at Kroger today and I think we’ll try this for dinner.
I would love to try the Double Cheddar and Chicken Burritos… I love cheese!
I love Ragu sauce! It is honestly my favorite. I love to use it for my pizza sauce! I always use extra sauce! I will be trying some of the recipes on RAGU.COM too!
The only thing that looks rather inviting is that 1-2-3 CHICKEN CACCIATORE. Though, I’m not a huge fan of “wet” chicken, would rather it fried. Well, I guess I’ll see how it comes out.
And twittered at http://twitter.com/refurbmike
I would love to try the Braised Spinach and Polenta. I love that they have a vegetarian recipe section!!!
I think the sausage, pepper and onions would be very tasty,
The Roasted Vegetable Rice Salad looks good. Without the chicken bouillon, that is, to make it entirely veggie-friendly.
Oooh, I love veggies, so I would try the Chicken Broccoli casserole. I’ve never used Ragu before, so thanks for the suggestion!
I would really like the Chicken Margherita! That sounds right up my family’s alley!
I can’t wait to try “Ragu No Boiling Lasagna”. I have been looking for an easy lasagna recipe!
Did anyone else notice that they have a cost per recipe note at the bottom? It was a little interesting to see, but I am sure most of you also shop store brands, sales and use coupons. So the cost wouldn’t necessarily be accurate for all you “frugal cooks”!
I would love to try the hearty baked rigatoni!
[email protected]
I think my 2 year olds would love the baked chicken fingers. We will be trying them soon!
I want to try the hearty baked rigatoni recipe!
Mmm, baked manicotti. Haven’t had it in ages!
Mmmmm, buffalo blue cheese chicken pizza. There’s not a word in there that doesn’t sound good!
I would LOVE to try the upside down deep dish pizza recipe from the Raju site. But I also would love to try the broccoli dish looks yummy too.
The Weeknight Skillet Lasagna looks perfect for someone as lazy about cooking as I am. lol
I love to make smoothies using fresh fruit and veggies. They taste great and are awesome for you.
April
I looked up several appetizer recipes that sounded really good- like the lava dip, the cheddar tomato bacon toasts – the chicken and chorizo sopes looked interesting-
chicken cacciatore! That sounds so good!
I’m going to try the Baked Pasta Primavera Casserole. It looks easy and because I’m a vegetarian, I’m always on the look-out for new meat-free recipes!
I think I’m going to try the Chicken Margherita!
I would love to try the upside down deep dish pizza!
I never would have thought to use pasta sauce for sloppy joes! I love Ragu on spaghetti though, so this sounds tasty!
I have made CHICKEN PARMESAN STROMBOLI in the past and my family always enjoys it.
SHRIMP IN RED PEPPER ALFREDO SAUCE looks and sounds super scrumptious!
I would like to try making DOUBLE CHEDDAR SLOPPY JOES because my family loves cheddar cheese,
Definitely the slow cooked chicken burritos
Garlic Tuna Noodle Casserole sounds like it’d be worth a try! Always looking for a good tuna casserole.
I didn’t realize ragu had so many flavors! I am always on the quest for healthy recipes. I’m going to have to try the lite sauce and the pasta with turkey meatball sounds delish!
The Hearty spanish rice looks like a recipe we might try. I’m always looking for more quick rice dishes to go along with meals.
I think the Chicken Fajita Grilled Pizza sounds scrumptious.
I would try the cheese lasagna. I’d have to modify some of the recipes on the website – like upside-down pizza – to fit a vegetarian diet, but I love the fact that Ragu has a way to search for only vegetarian recipes!
I think the bagel pizza looks great I think I will tyr this out soon, but will probaly use pita bread, b/c i have alot of it on hand.
SHRIMP IN RED PEPPER ALFREDO SAUCE sounds awesome
The shrimp in red pepper alfredo sauce looks a bit pricy, but really yummy! I’ll definitely keep it in mind for special occasions!
(Btw, I’ve been meaning to comment on your proper blog about how wonderful your Easy French Bread and Whole Wheat Sandwich Bread recipies are, but I didn’t want to comment on really old posts, and none of the new posts have seemed appropriate. Thanks so much!)
I’d love to try the broccoli casserole. Cheese always helps the veggies go down! Aloha *;)
I’d love to try the 1-2-3 Cheddar Broccoli casserole – sounds yummy! Thanks!
the cheddar broccoli casserole sounds Yummy & mabe good 4 U 2 your a genius , can you come to my house & cook for us !!!!?
I’ve used the ragu alfredo sauce with shrimp and linguine noodles. It’s fast, you can add any extra seasonings (basil, oregano, garlic, etc.) and everyone eats it (I have picky eaters at home).
I would like to try the 1-2-3 CHICKEN CACCIATORE… YUM,YUM,YUMMY!!
I would love to try the shrimp in red pepper alfredo sauce. I am craving shrimp right now and my little one loves it too!
I just try to keep everything balanced. Moderation is the key.
I’d like to try the shrimp in red pepper alfredo sauce! YUM!
The Cheese Lasagna & the upside down pizza look great! I’d definitely try them!
Following on Twitter @savingourway
I would like to try the BBQ chicken slow cooker recipe. I think it’ll melt in my kids mouth and they’ll love it!
Yum!!! The pizza dippin strips look good! My little boy would love them!!
Pizza Primavera!! MMMMMM!! (:
I love the 123 Cheddar Broccoli casserole….. and many others….
I have recently become brave enough to start trying meatball recipes, so I would try the MaMa’s Best Ever Spaghetti and Meatballs, it looks good and really simple
I want to try the Double Cheddar & Chicken Burritos. They look yummy.
tfulton0513 at yahoo dot com
I actually want to try your pizza bagels.
lkish77123 at gmail dot com
How about that braised spinach and polenta, which I always wanted to know how to prepare! Yum!
@megs
The Mexican Meatloaf looks like a great way to use up zucchini, I’ll remember it for next summer when I’m glutted with it.
I’ll be trying the Baked Manicotti. Thanks for the chance to enter!
I think I posted my choice in the wrong place…anyway…cheesy broccoli casserole would be the choice for my family!
The 1-2-3 Chicken Cacciatore looks amazing! I’m totally going to try it this week.
I am loving eggplant right now and the eggplant parmesan looks really quick and easy!
Ragu makes cooking dinner fast and easy. I recently found a great recipe.
Manicotti Cordon Bleu, that uses Ragu sauce, poured over the cooked Manicotti pasta.
I’d like to try the Shrimp Marinara it’s so simple I can’t believe I’ve never thought of doing it before – I think I’ll make it tonight!
The 1-2-3 cacciatori recipe looks pretty interesting. And relatively quick.
I have been using Ragu sauces for as long as I can remember. Homemade sauces are awesome, but when I want a quick sauce I turn to Ragu. We are trying hard to eat breakfast around here so I think I would like to try the Microwave Scrambled Egg Pizza – sounds kind of interesting!
My kids are allowed to eat fruits (in moderation) & veggies whenever they want.
Offer them a “choice” between milk & water when thirsty… they almost always pick water, especially if they can use the ice dispenser on fridge!
I think SHRIMP ROBUSTO will be perfect to try. Shrimp is on-sale right now at my favorite grocery store and this recipe will be quick and easy for a quick after work meal for me and my family. I will have to substitute the Ragu sauce from the one with onions and garlic to the one with mushrooms. One of my sons hates onions!
I’d make the pizza bagels, my neice would love them( I’d use my homemade bagels and turkey pepperoni).
Those pizza bagels look incredible! I’d love to make those!
The Buffalo Blue Cheese Chicken Pizza looks quick and easy to make. I would love to try it.
Found all sorts of possibilities, but would love this one: SLOW COOKER MEATBALLS PARMESAN.
I would like to try
3-CHEESE STROMBOLI
CHICKEN PARMESAN PASTA TOSS
We eat only whole grains and fresh veggies/fruits…which we love. We drink mostly water, our girls have never had soda(6 year old and 2 year old twins), though I do drink it occasionally. I am currently doing Weight Watcher and have lost almost 30 pounds, I believe the whole family has benefited from the healthier cooking.
The Chicken Margherita looks tasty.
The chicken margherita looks yummy!
The upside down deep dish pizza looks really good. I would definitely try that recipe.
the chicken margarita sounds great to me.
The Hearty Baked Rigatoni looks yummy!
The Skillet Chicken Alfredo looks delish and easy to make. I want to try it.

Hearty Baked Rigatoni and the Chicken Margherita look like great recipes for cold winter nights.
The Slow-Cooker BBQ Chicken looks intriguing… Pasta sauce for bbq. Definitely worth a try!
Yes, I know it’s the Recipe of the Day on Ragu today, but i LOVE chicken parm. And that recipe looks super easy! If you wanted it to go, you could just substitute a sub roll for the pasta, and make a chicken parm sandwich. Yum!
I’d like to try the baked rigatoni!
I would love to try the skillet chicken parmesan.
I want to try the A-B-C Minestrone. It looks great.
I’m all for an easy meal that I think my children will like. The Baked Chicken Fingers fits the bill! It looked really easy to make. Thanks!

PIZZA DIPPIN’ STRIPS-This would be a fun receipe to do with the kiddos and they’d both actually eat : ) along with the Baked Chicken Fingers no matter what this is my all time FAVORITE MEAL
All of the recipes looked quick and easy, which for my family is a win-win situation with after-school sports and church activities taking up a lot of our time. I already make a version of the skillet pasta and beef recipe, often using ground turkey or vegetarian meat. Something I have never tried, but hope to is the upside-down deep dish pizza.
There are so many mouth-watering recipes to choose from, and my boys will eat just about everything! I am going with the Classic Chicken Parmesan, the boys call it “a giant chicken nugget”!
The 1-2-3 CHEDDAR BROCCOLI CASSEROLE recipe sounds really tasty–and super easy!
wow you have a review blog – i never knew!
The Chicken Margherita looks delicious!!- I will have to try it this weekend!

My kids would just love Double Cheddar and Chicken Burritos. we love ragu in our house
I would LOVE to try the cheddar broccoli casserole- it is right up my alley!
Coming from an Italian family, tomatoes and tomatoe sauces are an important ingredient for many meals…Ragu makes many of our favorite sauces and is the closest to our family homemade recipe..
I think I might make the upside down deep dish pizza but substitute ground turkey for the ground beef and fresh spinach for the frozen.
I like the 123 Cheddar Broccoli Casserole recipe.
I want to try the upside down pizza. I saw this in a magazine and thought it looked great!
Definitely slow cooker stuffed peppers. I love stuffed peppers and I adore slow cooker recipes (none of us have much time to cook), but I never thought of using it for peppers!
Too cute!! The one I would love making is the SLOPPY JOE RACE CARS. I always tried to plate the food so it is pleasing to look at because food should be fun and good for you. Ragu is the best!!
Chicken Magherita looks delicious!

I like to try the SLOPPY JOE TURKEY QUESADILLAS.
All of the recipes look and sound delicious. There are many of them I’m going to try, but with kids, you can’t go wrong with the Easy Homemade Pizza. This recipe looks so easy, the kids would enjoy making it with you. You could provide several different toppings for the kids to use and even use this recipe for a party. When the kids come to the party, pair off the kids and they can make several pizzas for their “party pizza”. Easy and fun for the kids and something they would enjoy doing. Ragu products are so delicious, so any of the recipes on the site would be wonderful!
I’d like to try the Upside Down Dish Pizza.
I want to try the Cheddar Broccoli Casserole because anything with broccoli and cheese sounds good to me
Upsidedown deep dish pizza: This sounds like something fun and different. My kids like to maketry new types of pizza ideas. We usually do a Hell’s Kitchen night and make a signature dish , I would love to see the creative way they could make this thier own!!!Suzanne

all of the kid recipes look great, even for adult appetizers at a dinner party. the cheddar dogs look real good too

I would try (and will) the upside down deep dish pizza. I was raised in Chicago and LOVE deep dish pizza. I also love Ragu – one of the best convenience foods out there!
SMOTHERED MOZZARELLA SANDWICHES is the featured recipe today – it looks great!
I want to try the Fettucini Carbonara, I’ve actually only had that as frozen dinners, I should really get busy in the kitchen, it only takes 10 minutes!
CHICKEN FAJITA GRILLED PIZZAS looks really delicious!
I am dying to try the braised spinach and polenta. They have some wonderful recipes over there!
The pizza quick score muffins sound like a quick easy meal our kids would like.
I LOVE pizza so it has to be the upside-down deep dish pizza recipe
Upside-down deep dish pizza sounds delicious and healthy for the kids, too!Not to mention my husband and I I could use a good meal like that! Something we can all agree on. Thanks for the chance to win!Ragu rocks!
I think that the Tomato Chicken Rice Soup would turn out very similar to one that my grandma used to make when I was little… It might be worth a shot!
The Ragu sloppy joes with the Margherita sauce sounds good and super easy! And it’s definately something my kids would eat.
Both of these looked good to me CHICKEN MARGHERITA http://www.ragu.com/index.php/recipesearch?recipeid=11021 1-2-3 CHICKEN CACCIATORE http://www.ragu.com/index.php/recipesearch?recipeid=1024

There’s a bunch of good lookin recipes but I want to try the 3-CHEESE STROMBOLI first. It looks good and simple. I’ll probably try making the pizza dough from scratch though.
The pizza bagels look amazing and I am for sure going to try using alfredo sauce over the fried crispy chicken!! Yum! Thanks for the great recipes!
I want to try the Veggie Bowtie Pasta. Always looking for a way to get more veggies into dinner!
I want to try the Pizza all the way!

I would love to try the 1-2-3 CHICKEN CACCIATORE, because I order this out sometimes, but I’ve never made it! (That and Steak Pizzaiola! LOL)
i too would try the chicken but with veggie chicken (maybe chickpea cutlets) being vegetarian
I’d like to try the Hearty Baked Rigatoni! That looks good!
I’d like to try their Cheddar Nacho Dip Recipe from The Ragu Sauce Section where I clicked on Cheesy to find this recipe.
By the way, I created a new recipe using their Alfredo sauce, but I couldn’t list Ragu’s name, because the recipe contest was for Pillsbury Pizza Dough and Pillsbury’s monthly recipe contest. The Pillsbury monthly recipe contest voting starts on Nov. 25th, 2009. My new recipe was for pizza bowl. If you like it would you vote for me, thanks

The upside down deep dish pizza, all the way!
I think the upside down pizza recipe sounds like a really good recipe to make when I have my grandchildren at my house. They love anything pizza!
i just made a deep dish pizza with ragu sauce…yummy
I think the veggie bow tie pasta sounds good and pretty easy too. I would love to win the gift card
Yum, the chicken chili looks good!
I want to try the Easy Homemade Pizza Bagels because they look so easy to make!
We love pizza in my housse and I have a bunch of Ragu in the pantry – I’m going to make the mini pizzas.
Being vegetarian the VEGETABLE BOW TIE PASTA looks tremendous! Thanks for the blog – it is terrific!
I would like to try the Chicken Margherita. It sounds delicious.
I want to try the COUNTRY-ITALIAN CHICKEN & POTATOES. I usually just cook for myself, but I will have to have some friends come over to share this recipe!
I’ll be trying Chix Parm Alfredo!
The upside down deep dish pizza sounds amazing! It gets my vote. : )
I’m going to try the VEGETABLE BOW TIE PASTA today! It looks easy and delicious. My primary requisites. I’m so happy to see Ragu has an organic sauce. I didn’t know that. I live alone, so I’m always on the lookout for recipes I can put together quickly that are healthy.
I am definitely adding the Upside Down Pizza, Chicken Fajita Grilled Pizza and Grilled Steak and Red Tomato Rice recipes to my list to try soon. Sounds delicious!
i would like to try the three cheese stromboli!
I think the “Frogs & Ladybugs” recipe looks really fun and would work great for a kid’s party! It’s very original. My son would love it!

The CHICKEN & PASTA PRIMAVERA looks good- I’d like to try to make it!
I really want to try the homemade pizza. Normally, we’d buy a frozen cheese pizza in the grocery store and add what we want since our family is so picky
Should be great!
I want to try the fiesta chicken nachos, they look awsome and I think its something my kids would eat.
I’d love to try the cheesy calzones! Delicious and easy! I try to change up my meals as much as possible so we don’t get bored. My motto is “you’ll never know if you like it until you try it”. It works for us and I get to have my family try things they wouldn’t normally try. That way I can sneak in some extra veggies!

We will probably try the meatballs. I like them but don’t have a good recipe, and they are expensive purchased ready made.
