Simply Inspired - Classic Bruschetta Pizza Review

Alright, so I have seen all these reviews and recommendations on this Simply Inspired pizza by FRESCHETTA® for their Simply Inspired Line.

So last night at the store we were in a hurry because the hubby had to go some where at 8. So we had enough time to make this pizza... Well, the package looked yummy, and it said 12-14 minutes. So we decided to try it.

CB

Verdict:
I can tell you 12 minutes was too long to cook it. It was REALLY crunchy for a thin crust. Too crunchy really. The flavor while it was great... the pizza was REALLY greasy. Would I get this specific one again? Probably not. Would I try a different one? Maybe. Was it worth the money? Sure. Two people ate for less than $5 bucks. Would I recommend this one? On the fence about that one. Anyways, thought I would through my own opinion out there for this one.

We didn't get a good shot of our table and chair set up, but there was quite a bit of seating outside...

The Face Painters were awesome!!! Of course my little stinker wouldn't get her face painted, I had to bribe her to get anything... she got a glitter tattoo that is still on after over a week. I swear she has had a bath since then! :o)

Everyone had a wonderful time outside and inside. We were so pleased with how the weather turned out. It rained around us, but not on us until an hour and a half after the party was over... I got SO lucky!

I think tomorrow I may post the activities that the kiddos were able to do or the gift bags... not sure so stay tuned!

Dr. Seuss Party Recap #5 – Food/Kitchen Decorations

One of the things I am always the most proud of is my ability to make food more fun than just food…. I mean some labeling, cute signs, shapes and fun names just make it go from something plain to spectacular…

I did realize that the pictures in general this year were not as good, but I think part of that has to do with that three of us were taking pictures and we don’t know what each other got, you know. It’s ok though we still got some pretty rockin’ pictures!

Here is a picture of the kitchen in general:

The food consisted of:
Horton’s Hotdogs
Thing 1 & Thing 2 Punch
Sneetches Stars (Rice Krispie Treats)
Pop’s Pretzels
Sam’s Green Egg Oreos
Sam’s Green Eggs and Ham
Sally’s Sweets (MnM’s)
Fish’s Goldfish
Fox’s French Onion Dip
Daisy Head Mayzie’s Donuts
Max’s Mix (Trail Mix)
Grinch’s Popcorn (Green Drizzled Popcorn)
The CAKE… Already shown in the first post about the party

What do you think of the food? Sorry that some of the pictures are dark. I haven’t had a chance to edit them and brighten them up a little bit. Let me know if you have any questions or want to see some of them closer up or want a how to on how they were made…
