I have to start off my post today sharing some exciting news. I got a nice surprise the other morning when I looked at the Rachael Ray blog and discovered that Dine & Dish was on their short list of websites they love. It is included with a couple of my favorites like 101 Cookbooks and Simply Recipes. Needless to say, I was pretty thrilled. I doubt that Rachael herself reads Dine & Dish, but it is nice to know that someone over there took the time to do so!
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!

Seriously?! Pizza Hut? I am definitely skeptical but willing to give it a try.
I haven’t had Pizza Hut in years and I’m seriously skeptical about their “Real Italians love our lasagna” commercials so I’d be interested in trying this to see what I think.
Mmmm… lasagna.
I have a hungry boyfriend who is willing to eat Pizza Hut.
Congratulations on having your blog mentioned. You must be proud!
I’m not sure I’d risk trying someone else’s lasagna… ok, maybe if it was free… lol…
I make lasagna the Brazilian way, which is replacing the ricotta cheese layer with a layer of thick bechamél sauce. Some Brazilians add a layer of ham, too, and that’s the way my family prefers it. But all that cooking and assembling and cleaning means that I’ll not be in the kitchen about three hours which in turn means lasagna is a once-a-year thing, when it’s my husband’s birthday. Sometimes I even try to trick him into asking for something else for lunch but it has not worked in the last three years… lol…
I would love to try this!
Congrats on the Rachel Ray favorites list!
I LOVE lasagna and would love to win some! It looks so good in the commercials!
That is really cool about being on the Rachael Ray blog! I didn’t even know she had one. I learned about HER blog from yours!

Pizza Hut is one of the few restaurants we actually have and it would be nice to actually have left overs to take in my daily lunches – so tired of baby carrots!

Free lasagna sounds great and would make menu-planning easier!
How’s your menu planning going, by the way?

Wonderful about your blog being mentioned! Congrats! As for the lasagna, I’d love to try it, but I am also pretty picky about how it’s made. But your review sounds encouraging!
Lyndas last blog post..Truffles!
Congrats! That’s pretty impressive
sharons last blog post..Lemon Angel Food Cupcakes
It sounds yummy and wonderful but I have 2 things I need to check out first. 1. is it meatless or is there a meatless version and the general nutritional-ness. I tend to make my lasagnas with low fat cheese. keeping the bum in check, you know.
I knew that 3 lbs feeds 4 thing was a crock…how many pounds of lasagna constitutes a serving these days!?
mariss last blog post..My Actual Favorite Movie…and Chocolate Chip Scones
This sounds great! I’m fairly picky about my lasagna, too, but I’m all for a night off from cooking.
I’d love to see your recipe for your favorite lasagna, Kristen! Hope you post it someday.
Oh, and very, very cool about RR’s favorites list!!
Les in NEs last blog post..A Month in Review – January ’09

katies last blog post..He’s so creative…
We’ve been wondering if this lasagna is as good as it looks! Maybe we’ll find out. Nice job getting on Rachel’s shortlist!
The Duo Dishess last blog post..Treading the Fine Line Part 2
I’m going to try this before I win. If it impresses you, then that’s enough for me.
Finally, another person that doesn’t think that 2inch square of lasagne is a meal.
yummmo
Congratulations on building a strong brand and blog. You deserve the kudos and recognition! Celebrate!
