With Summer winding down and school starting meal time can be stressful. Dinnertime can be so tricky to make sure my family is getting all the nutrition we need. I try to have a balance of all the food groups and also make meals my kids will enjoy. Their favorite meal is when it is pizza night! DIGIORNO pizzeria!™ and pizzeria! thin crust pizzas are crafted with care using the highest-quality ingredients to deliver a golden pizzeria style crust, 100% real cheese, premium meats, and crisp vegetables picked at the peak of ripeness. DIGIRORNO helps me balance my family’s plates at dinner time.
DIGIORNO pizzas make dinner time a breeze. Those busy nights when I don’t have the time or energy to slave over a meal, pizza is also always a dinner my kid’s cheer for. DIGIORNO pizzas are so delicious. It is the brand we go back to over and over again. I can tell they use the freshest ingredients, and there is a pizza with toppings for everyone. My kids love cheese pizzas. The DIGIORNO pizzeria four cheese pizza is delicious. DIGIORNO pizzeria! and pizzeria! thin crust pizzas contain no artificial flavors, so you’ll only taste the most delicious ingredients.
My favorite pizza is the DIGIORNO pizzeria!™ thin crust Margherita pizza. I love a delicious thin crust. The DIGIORNO pizzeria!™ thin crust pizzas have a preservative-free crust and is drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. The sauce is perfection, and I love that it is topped with vine-ripened tomatoes and flavored with basil, thyme, and oregano.

To balance our pizza night plates with our favorite DIGIORNO pizzas, I like sticking to other finger foods. We usually have baby carrots to munch on with our pizza night, and my kids love when I make fruit kabobs. Fruit kabobs are fun to eat and easy to make. I usually just use whatever fruit I have on hand and then I layer them up on a wooden skewer. This time, we used strawberries, kiwis, blueberries, oranges, and apples. I also had made some Rice Krispie Treats. I cut the Rice Krispie Treats up with a small flower cookie cutter and layered them in between the fruit.
My kids are in love with dips! They love to dip their food into anything they can. Our favorite fruit dip just has three ingredients, and it is perfect for any fruit. Mixing cool whip, vanilla yogurt, and an instant vanilla pudding packet makes a deliciously creamy, sweet, and light fruit dip. We love it, and I love taking it to potlucks and BBQs during the summer.
First I mix the vanilla pudding and vanilla yogurt. This gives it a chance for the pudding to dissolve. Then I carefully fold the yogurt pudding mixture into the cool whip. I let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes and then assemble my kabobs.

What a great idea! My son loves any food that is on a stick! I have to outsmart the 4 year old lol.
we love their pizza and i know my grandkids would love the fruit kbobs
These look really good! I love pizza and fruit as well, what a great way to combine the best of both. The fruit kabobs are fun desserts for the kids and I think the rice krispie treats added on are neat too.
I love the idea of a fruit dip! It’s especially great for the picky eaters.
This recipe looks great. This would be a perfect balance when eating pizza. And what kids doesn’t love fruit. And the dip sounds DELIS, can’t wait to make.
Another good simple fruit dip I like to make is cream cheese & marshmallow fluff. Some like to add a lil vanilla extract. But I usually make it without the vanilla extract. Just thought I would share.
DIGIORNO pizza is the best! It’s our favorite frozen brand to make. I love the fresh fruits you paired it up with!
Looking good love to try this
I love your idea of giving fruits and veggies with your pizza. Your veggie dip looks and sounds really delicious and I love that it only has three ingredients.
Lol, love the pizza sauce on her face, too cute. I’ve never tried a fruit dip but I bet my daughter would like this one to dip her fruit in. Sounds yummy.
This looks delish and what a nice way to make fruit and dip attractive to more likely be eaten! I must try this!
