Back to school means lots of things including getting back to my weekly meal planning. Last summer I shared my weekly meal planning tips here. One of the tips that helped keep me on track all year long was having themed days like Meatless Monday, Taco Tuesday, and Pizza Fridays. Pizza Fridays was a tradition we had in our home when I was a kid and a tradition I am happy to continue. We switch it up a little with where we have pizza sometimes we eat at our kitchen table, some days we eat outside by the pool. I think B’s favorite is when we take the pizza to a local park with friends. Pizza is always best shared with friends and family.

Tips for Making a Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing

Store your dressing in a container with a lid. This will allow you to shake it if the ingredients separate.
You can pour the poppy seed dressing directly from the bottle.
Enjoy a lot of a little salad.

Now onto the main event…the pizza. These American Flatbread Pizzas from Publix gives me the convenience of frozen pizza with the perfect flavors of textures of high-quality ingredients. All their pizzas are inspired by ingredients with a crust made from organically-grown wheat. They strive to make eating their pizza an experience.

Since we had friends over we combined the salad with poppyseed dressing with 3 pizzas.

Uncured Pepperoni & Uncured Bacon– This pizza is topped with uncured bacon and uncured pepperoni and a combination of mozzarella and delicious white cheddar cheese.
Tomato Sauce & Three Cheese– If you love cheese this is the pizza for you. It is topped with mozzarella, Vermont’s Blythedale Farm Padano cheese, Parmesan, garlic oil, and fresh herbs.
Revolution– B has a new found love of mushrooms. So, we also bought the Revolution that is topped with fresh mushrooms and onions, Asiago cheese, and fresh herbs.
