I LOVE pizza and most of the time I prefer to make it myself. I usually make the pizza dough by scratch but sometimes I don’t have the time and have to rely on products like the Pillsbury Artisan Pizza Crust to save me a little time.

The Pillsbury Artisan Pizza Crust with Whole Grain allows you to make a homemade pizza in just minutes. You simply open the package, roll out the dough, prebake the crust and then add your favorite toppings. Place in the oven and bake again for around 8-10 minutes and you have yourself a fresh home baked pizza. The toppings that you can add to the Pillsbury Artisan Crust is endless with so many different pizza ideas.

Since I am trying to create meals that are “more healthier”, I like that this crust contains 16 grams of whole grain per serving. If you need ideas for toppings, be sure to visit the Pillsbury website for Artisan Pizza Recipes including:

• BBQ Chicken Pizza
• Breakfast Pizza
• Veggie and Sausage Skillet Pizza
• Chicken Pesto Pizza
• Grilled Sausage and Pepper Pizza
• and more yummy recipes….

My pizzas normally will have pepperoni and cheese for the kids, but I have found that chicken, bacon, cheese and ranch work well together on top of a pizza too! What is really cool is you can make these Artisan style pizzas not only in your oven, but on your BBQ grill too!

There are many times that I crave something sweet but don’t want to make a mess in the kitchen to make a big dessert. Most of the time I will try to grab a piece of fruit to fight the sweet tooth, but there days when a piece of fruit just isn’t going to cut it.

When it comes to fruit, Dole is a brand that has been a part of my family for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid, I remember getting excited over the Dole stickers on the bananas my mom would bring home. I remember putting those stickers on my hand, on my cheek and even in my sticker book.

Now years later I am a mom myself and I am always stocking my pantry with Dole products. There is one product thought that my husband and I have been really enjoying, the Dole Fruit Crisps. These handy fruit snacks feature the delicious combination of all-natural fruit and a crunchy oat topping for a perfectly pleasing taste and texture experience with only 160 calories or less.

The Dole Fruit Crisp cups are currently available in three flavors, Apple Cinnamon, Apple Pear, and Peach.  These can be enjoyed warm or cold, so if you are looking for a late-morning snack or maybe a little dessert after dinner, these come in perfect.

Out of these three flavors, I am going to have to say that the Peach is my FAVORITE. I have only tried it warm, but it does remind me of eating some warm peach cobbler. My husband says that the Apple Cinnamon flavor is his favorite. When I first received these for review I thought they would sit in the pantry for a while, but little did I know they would be gone FAST and I would be buying more.

Since these Dole Fruit Crisp cups taste great cold too, these are great to add in our kid’s lunches. Kids tend to get bored with just a regular apple or banana in their lunch, so surprise them with something cool. Pop one of these in their lunch bags and when it is lunch time, they can peel back the lid, sprinkle the topping and have an snack that is healthy and delicious.

The benefits of these Dole Fruit Crips include:

• All Natural Fruit
• Made with Whole Grain Oats
• Rich in Vitamin C
• Nutrition facts
• Packed in convenient clear cups with easy-to-open, peel-off lids
• Delicious room temperature, chilled from the fridge or heated briefly in the microwave
