Oh – and I have a new guest post up over at the Viva Diva Cafe. This time, I share what some of my favorite kitchen essentials are. It was difficult to think about what I wouldn’t want to do without in the kitchen! Click on this link to check out what I came up with.

Now, for those of you here for the Pizza Hut Giveaway, I have some good news for you. Pizza Hut recently contacted me about their new Tuscani Lasagna and asked if I would be interested in giving it a try. I will admit, I am a very picky lasagna lover. I love the recipe that I use and sometimes other peoples lasagna, but it has to be really, really good for me to give it a thumbs up. I will also admit though that the thought of having a night off in the kitchen and having something different than pizza delivered to my house intrigued me, so I agreed.

Pizza Hut delivered what they consider to be a four serving pan of lasagna to our family the other night. Included in that was a plate of their hot, fresh breadsticks. I hesitantly gave the lasagna a try only to discover that… oh my – Pizza Hut makes a GREAT lasagna! It really was delicious – with the ricotta cheese, and perfectly flavored sauce. When I asked what everyone else thought about it, my 7 year old said (with a full mouth) “I can’t tell you right now… this is just toooooo good!”

The Pizza Hut Tuscani Lasagna is a great thing to have delivered if you are looking for something outside of the ordinary. Oh – and that four serving pan? My family of 5 was able to get two very generous meals out of one pan. I had two nights off in the kitchen and felt great about what I was serving my family.

Pizza Hut would like to give one of my readers the opportunity to give their Tuscani Lasagna a try. Simply leave a comment on this post  by Midnight CST on Tuesday, February 17th and we will have a random drawing for the winner on the 18th. You can also win a $10,000 trip to Italy by becoming a fan of Pizza Hut on Facebook. Make sure to check that out as well!

I grew up living in the country and all of my friends lived in town. I remember always being jealous of the folks in town because they could have Pizza Hut delivered to their homes. We lived too far out, so if we wanted pizza, we either had to go all the way into town to eat at the Pizza Hut restaurant, have dad bring some home after work, or make our own at home.

One of the silly big thrills for me when I left home for college was living in a town where you could have food delivered straight to your door! Pizza, Chinese, Sub Sandwiches… a whole new world of delivery options were available to me. It was quite an exciting thing for this small town country girl!

I now live in a Kansas City suburb, and we really don’t have many delivery options besides pizza. With the delivery options available, my family prefers Pizza Hut.

The other day, a representative from Pizza Hut contacted me about trying out their new Tuscani Pasta. She wanted to have some delivered to my family for dinner and also wanted to give three of my readers the opportunity to win gift certificates of their own to give the new Tuscani Pasta a try. I haven’t been feeling well at all the last couple of weeks (hence my lack of blogging…sorry!) and my husband has been traveling. The thought of having something delivered to my house besides pizza thrilled me, and I readily accepted.

Pizza Hut delivered their Premium Bacon Mac ‘n Cheese Tuscani Pasta to my house this past Friday along with an order of their garlic breadsticks. I half expected the pasta to be dry, but the Pizza Hut Premium Bacon Mac ‘n Cheese arrived and it was creamy, cheesey and full of flavor. The serving was extremely generous… we were able to have 2 1/2 meals out of this one order of pasta! The whole family loved it and it was such a welcome change from our normal delivery options.

Pizza Hut would like to offer three of my readers gift certificates for their own order of Tuscani Pasta and breadsticks.
