Chicken Pesto Pizza Recipe #HormelFamily

More often than not, mom and dad are stuck in the kitchen while the kids are occupied elsewhere during meal time preparation. Make the kids a part of the Pizza Month mealtime experience and it can be a fun and educational journey!


Start off the experience by shopping for ingredients together. Let your kids write out their own lists with their favorite toppings and allow everyone to make an individual pie!
Make the food preparation process fun. Let kids cut their dough and toppings into fun shapes; encourage creativity while cooking

Put a theme to your family pizza night! Do you want to pretend you are having a meal in the streets of Italy? Can your kid’s design the kitchen to match their favorite pizza restaurant? Put up decorations and set the table to round out the experience.

Cooking can be an educational experience, as well. Use cooking to educate your children on family history and recipes. Cooking also teaches kids about kitchen safety and proper handling of measuring and cooking tools.

Here is a recipe to get you started:
