Mar. 10, 2009 - Pizza Dough
I recently read on an email group that I'm in for large families, that you could go to Sam's Club and buy their pizza dough. I just so happened to be going there the next day and had to check that out.
Sure enough! In the cafe area where they sell pizza and drinks, they had a cart there with many things on it, but one was a huge, heavy box FULL of giant lumps of Sam's Pizza dough. The girl told me you just thaw it out, press it in a pizza pan, put on toppings and bake in the oven!
I bought a box to try it out. They get a box frozen from the back. The box was around $17 and had 20 pizza dough balls in it.
I normally prefer to make whole wheat pizza dough, but since we have a 2 1/2 month old who loves his mama so much, he just doesn't want us to ever be apart--literally---I thought we may never eat pizza again until he graduates from high school or learns to be happy sitting NEXT to me. So I thought we'd try this out. We normally put all sorts of veggies on our pizza and sometimes turkey pepperoni when we can find it, so it's not totally bad for us...and what pizza would be complete without a glass of green drink on the side? (my friends know I'm serious.....our family loves green drink, even the 2yo...or I should say especially the 2yo, who RUNS for a glass when she hears the blender on saying "GREEN DRINK!" even if it's cream and I'm only making butter.) In case you missed that post, green Drink in our family is romaine or green leaf lettuce or spinach topped with frozen strawberries, water added to your choice of consistency, and aTBSP of honey and whizzed in the blender for a minute. Don't say "Gross" until you try it...it's delicious..just ask my usually picky 2 yr old!
Back to pizza....I haven't actually made the pizza yet..it's on tomorrow night's menu...but I've tasted Sam's pizza and it's pretty good. I'll let you know if it's aweful, but I'm sure it won't be! Just had to share this new discovery!

I saw that thread about the crusts and wondered where they were at Sam's. $17 for 20 dough balls is a great deal. Also, we love green smoothies at our house. We use spinach, frozen bananas, and frozen strawberries. If you use the frozen bananas it cuts the earthy taste and sweetens it great. My kids come running at the sound of the blender too! :)

I gotta buy the pizza crust from Sam's. I love their pizza!!
I haven't made green smoothies in awhile. When I was pregnant, for some reason I couldn't stand the thought of drinking anything healthy. I need to start again though. When I would make it. I used spinach, bananas, strawberries and added apple juice instead of water to make it extra sweet. My kids called it "Hulk Juice". I guess the more you drink it, the more you become strong like Hulk. LOL

The "Green Drink" sounds interesting. I may have to just try that. How many leaves to strawberries do you use?
Thanks

I fill the blender about 2/3 loosely with lettuce and then pack frozen strawberries on top to the top of the blender...add water and honey.
