Whats for Dinner?Wanna hear a joke about pizza?
...Never mind it’s too cheesy!
So, who has been eating frozen pizzas for dinner? ME! I love pizza because my kids will actually eat it and not complain! PLUS, it is inexpensive and quick to prepare. But sadly, it is not the healthiest choice. Pizza delivery? That's even better, but it gets $$$ pretty quickly! This Assignment will have a few parts.
TASK Part 1: Virtual Shopping
TASK Part 2: Costing the recipe you will make
  
One of our family's favourites: Frozen pizza, ready in 15 minutes! $3.50 x 2! Great deal, 2 pizzas for a quick meal! These save time and money! But the other pizzas like pepperoni are high in salt and fat, higher in saturated fat than we would prefer.
 |
| Mise en place for No yeast pizza dough: Ingredinets: Bread flour, wholewheat flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, olive oil, water |
 |
| Stir together to form a soft dough. Roll out dough into a circle to fit pan or pizza stone, spread on tomato sauce and dried oregano, added toppings. We used grated cheddar, parmesan, left over gound beef, pepperoni sticks, yellow peppers. Bake for about 10 minutes. Served Hot! |
At the end of this assignment, one of the goals is for you to EVALUATE if it is worthwhile for you to make HOMEMADE vs. BUY from a grocery store or get take out. Do you have time? Price? Nutrition? Convenience? Taste? Decide on how each choice have pros and cons as you make your Dinner Decisions!

Fettuccini Alfredo Recipe Links:
(If Romano cheese is not available, substitute with Parmesan)
 |
| Use any noodles that you already have at home, or different shaped pastas. Alfredo sauce clings to noodles nicely. Choose Wholewheat pastas for more fibre and nutrients. What is the diff. between Spaghetti and Spaghettini, or Fettuccini and Lunguini? |
 |
| Allow water to come to a full, rolling boil before adding pasta. Ensure there is plenty of water to circulate noodles. Cook unti they are AL DENTE. |
A QUICK and delicious meal if you enjoy Alfredo sauce, thin with milk if the sauce is too thick. Creamo (10% fat) can be used to replace Whipping cream (35% fat) for a lower calorie dish. Choose a different sauce if this does not suit your family's taste.

| Serve the Fettuccini Alfredo HOT with a salad |
