Last week I had a chance to go to a blogger event at Cici’s Pizza to check out their new unlimited Stuffed Crust Pizza on the buffet and their newest star the Fiery Mango Tango Pizza. My thanks to CiCi’s for the swag we also got and for donating the gift card for the giveaway below!
I can really sum up the morning in three little letters…Yum! We definitely got our pizza fix in, and for just $5 and change you can get your fill of a little slice of heaven too. If you remember last year I blogged about how Cici’s was committed to making their pizzas better for their customers after listening to their feedback. Well the improved quality has definitely been noticed and now Cici’s is kicking it up a notch again.
Usually when we go to Cici’s Pizza I want to eat my weight in their brownies, but now until August 16, 2015, my dessert of choice is the Fiery Mango Tango Pizza which is inspired by a winning pizza on Food Network Star!
It is simply an amazing dessert of complimentary flavors. A sweet, tropical blend of pineapple and mango with a jalapeno kick, on a cinnamon sugar crust and topped with cream cheese icing.
I was actually surprised at how much I liked it, since I’m not a fan of jalapenos.
I think the best pizza I have ever tasted at Cici’s Pizza though has got to be the new Stuffed Crust Pizza. 100% real cheese is baked right inside a handmade garlic butter crust and topped with 20 slices of pepperoni, so each of the ten slices get the full effect of the delicious flavors.
We had a great time making a Stuffed Crust Pizza ourselves. 
Mine didn’t look perfect, but I was still pretty proud of it. It tasted awesome, and that’s really what’s most important, right?!
The stuffed crust is so, so good! It’s all made from scratch dough. The crust is topped with the perfect amount of sauce, cheese, pepperoni and seasoning, and then it is baked to perfection. There is cheesiness baked into every bite. No need to limit the kids (or yourself!) to just 2 pieces since it’s unlimited on the buffet!
But it’s only at Cici’s Pizza until October 25, 2015 so if you haven’t been there in a while, you might need to hit it up soon 🙂 Both the Fiery Mango Tango Pizza and the Stuffed Crust Pizza are mighty good.

I like to take a long walk or HOT bubble bath
I like to, what I call, ‘overcook’ on the weekends (crock pot dishes, soups, casseroles, bbq, chili, etc.). Making a big quantity of a few dishes, then freeze it into ‘tv dinners’. After a while there is a good variety in the freezer and dinner is just a push of a microwave button. If I do cook during the week, I will cook double and then freeze the unused portions for later use too. Makes the whole week no-hassle.
I try to get at least a weeks worth of food for meals on the weekend so i will have enough for the next week, and wont be so stressed.
