Recipe & Giveaway: Chicken Fajita Grilled Pizza with Ragu Pasta Sauce {Win a $200 Gift Card! – Contest Ended}

Contests, Food and Drink, New posts, , ,

Congratulations, Amie won this giveaway!

As you might know, I am a Ragu “Mom’s The Word On Dinner” Ambassador, and I’m very proud and excited about that as you’ll see in this post.

Being a Ragu “Mom’s The Word on Dinner” Ambassador gives me the opportunity to branch out with our dinner recipes and cook some delicious meals, one of which I enjoyed with my family this week.

This week’s fun Ragu recipe was Chicken Fajita Grilled Pizza with Ragu Sauce.

Grilled Chicken Fajita Pizza with Ragu Pasta Sauce

Here is the Chicken Fajita Grilled Pizza with Ragu Sauce with a few customizations:

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 large poblano or medium green bell peppers
  • 1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
  • 2 (12-inch) prebaked pizza crusts
  • 1-1/2 cups Ragú® Old World Style® Tomato & Mozzarella Pasta Sauce
  • 3 cups shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese (about 12 oz.)
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  • Customizations we made: 12 mushrooms, anchovies

Directions

  1. Lightly coat chicken and onion with oil, then season, if desired, with salt and ground black pepper. Grill chicken, onion and peppers, turning once, 8 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked and vegetables are tender. Don’t be alarmed when the peppers turn black while grilling. The skin will easily peel or slip off after cooling. Wrap peppers in aluminum foil; let stand 5 minutes, then remove skin and thinly slice.
    Thinly slice chicken; set aside. We also sprayed one dozen mushrooms with olive oil spray and grilled them.
  2. Grill top side of pizza crusts 1 minute; remove from grill. Evenly spread pizzas with Ragu® Old World Style® Tomato & Mozzarella Pasta Sauce, then evenly top with chicken, vegetables and cheese. Grill pizzas, covered, 3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with cilantro. Serve, if desired, with additional heated Sauce and diced avocado.

My entire family enjoyed the pizza and my son even added a few anchovies to his three slices! My daughter enjoyed a couple of plain sauce and cheese slices while my husband put red peppers and onions on his slices.

This is a quick and easy meal to prepare and as you read above, pizza toppings can be customized for everyone in your family.

Review & Giveaway: Chelsea Baby – The Baby Shoe with a Snap-On Bouquet

Age 0-1 year, Baby & Kids Clothing, Contests, Shoes, ,

Chelsea Baby bouquet shoe

As a busy mom your baby’s shoes may be the last thing you think of when putting your baby’s outfit together.  When my daughter was a baby, I would often choose comfort over style when choosing her shoes for the day.   More often than not, Madelyn would be found wearing plane jane baby shoes.  If I had Chelsea Baby’s bouquet shoes, I wouldn’t have had to choose style OR comfort.  You don’t have to!  Your baby can have the best of both, style and comfort.

Made out of Sensuede and hand-crafted, Chelsea Baby brings babies switch-it-up style and comfort with their funkylicious (that’s what my 5 year old calls them) bouquet shoes.

These baby shoes are flexible, nice for infants and new crawlers, are easy to clean and care for, and are resistant to spills and stains.  What more could a mom ask for?

Chelsea Baby shoes have a cute little designs on them and you can snap on coordinating bouquets to kick up the pizzazz!

Choose from several snap on bouquet designs.. I would buy a few if I were you!

Chelsea Baby CHA CHA - $42.50
Chelsea Baby CHA CHA - $42.50

Where were these shoes a few years ago when my daughter was a baby?

Madelyn is waiting for the day Chelsea Baby offers their bouquet shoes for older kids. Hint, hint!

Chelsea Baby baby shoes are currently available in 0-6 months and 6-12 months sizes and there are three different styles in the girls collection now.
