I can't wait to try both of these! I made the artichoke dip already (ate the whole thing for dinner -- shame on me) and we're doing the Satay Chicken Pasta Salad and Classic Mini Cheeseburgers at our cluster meeting tomorrow night. I think I'm gonna make the Microwave Chicken Chili for dinner tonight.

I really wanna make the pizza and wings together now, but that's way too much food for lil ole single me. :(

LOVE the mini cheeseburgers! My 17 year has told all his friends about them ...so now they stop and buy hamburger meat and hotdog buns before coming over for me to fix them some. Lucky me! But the good news is I'm getting some great sales from it~~cause I've started passing out catalogs to their Moms:D I'm making the pizza sometime this week ..can't wait to try it.
 
I buy Ragu Alfredo sauce and it is the best!! They even have it in different flavors besides just original. The garlic is great!! I am going to have to try making my own though, would be cheaper. I have wanted to for a while, just didn't have a recipe I liked, but I will go with Dor's and see how it goes. How much butter and sour cream?
 
I will be making it at my Mystry Host this Friday and will try Dor's sauce.;)
 
I bought the Ragu Roasted Garlic.

I keep saying I'm going to make this, and then end up doing something else. But when I do make it, I want to do it like the recipe states - with the purchased Sauce. Although it wouldn't be unusual for me to make my own sauce, my objective is to show my hosts and guests a meal they can make simply in less than 30 minutes, and I know that many of them would tune me out if I started in on making a homemade sauce.
 
My homemade sauce takes the same time as heating a jar sauce in the sauce pan - and it actually is from staples in your fridge and costs much less - when I do it at shows I will most likely use the jarred sauce but will definately tell my customers how they can do this and save a little $ too!
 
I'm bringing this to my cluster meeting tonight. Although I'm wondering if it's going to be okay served cold/lukewarm. We are having our meeting at my director's house as a family picnic, so I'm wondering if my pizza will be cold by the time I get there and we have everyone ready to start the meeting and eat. Anyone know if it's okay cold? Sounds gross to me. I wonder if my director can keep her oven on warm and let me keep it in there till it's time to eat. I think I'll call her and see. Okay, so am I silly for posting this now? ;)
 
it's still good after it has cooled down. DH and I really liked this. :)

There's no such thing as bad cold pizza. Cold pizza makes the best breakfast ever!

Keith - Let us know how the chicken satay pasta salad is - I might make that one soon too!

I not Keith either ~ but I demoed this at my last team meeting and it was a HIT!
 
I made this recipe Sunday. We really like it. My only changes would be to add more bacon and use the new Pillsbury Thin Crust Pizza dough. It is perfect for the Large Bar Pan.

OK just made the Spinach Carbonara Pizza and a double batch of Creamy One Pot Pasta for our church pot luck tonight. I've got the pizza made up to step 5 where you put it back in the oven for 7-10 minutes...I'm going to do that at the church. So we will see how it turns out by doing like this.:chef:
 
Pizza came out great and was all gone! PLUS ;) I sold 2 bar pans and 4 SB books and I got a show booked!!! So needless to say I'm doing the Happy, Happy Dance!
 
Congratulations!
 
I actually don't ever buy jar sauce - I make my own - and all from staples in the kitchen -

melt butter
add low fat sour cream (or regular)

melt together over medium heat and add parmesan cheese (grated of course)
Pepper to taste -

I rarely buy jar spaghetti or alfredo souce - expensive, way too salty, and the spaghetti sauces are also too sweet.
I do my alfredo with half&half and parmesan.
A good variation uses heavy cream, parm, and a little butter if I can find time to fit in extra excecise.
