As you guys may have noticed, I'm a Trader Joe's fan. No I'm not professionally affiliated with them, nor do they even know I exist, but I do genuinely love their food (and products). Today is no different.
We took a trip to our local Trader Joe's for our Friday dinner. After grabbing samples, my son and I began walking down the frozen food section. I was already in the market for some type of pizza (I've tried a few different ones with amazing results), when I saw the Arugula Pizza for $3.99. I've always been a huge fan of arugula, but I've never tried it on pizza. I was thoroughly intrigued. It has cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, manchego, provolone, pecorino cheese, and of course arugula.

Apples - literally all their apples are amazing, so we buy them in bulk and go through them like you wouldn't believe.
Apple Juice - some of the freshest I've ever had, in my opinion. My son won't drink certain ones because "it tastes fake". What have I created???
Spinach Artichoke dip - yes technically it starts with an 'S', but the artichoke part is just as amazing! Makes a great dip for chips, an appetizer mixed with chicken, or just by itself! This is actually my 4 year old son's favorite!
After cooking our newest discovery, I questioned whether or not my son would actually eat it. He's never like arugula, so if he actually devours the pizza, it's a total win all around. Well guess what people? HE ATE HALF THE PIZZA!!! Granted I had to take the tomatoes off of his slices, because he's not a fan of tomatoes. I also had to remove a few tomatoes from my slices, as they were a bit overwhelming. A little too sweet for my taste as well. I would've loved fire roasted tomatoes, but I knew what I was buying. I will say this, it was absolutely delicious and definitely will be re-purchased in this household!
With this particular pizza, it's led me to believe that maybe I don't have to knock out all the foods my son hates. Maybe I just need to try creative options with more over-powering flavors, in order to show him that those foods aren't "nasty". He was just as shocked as I was when he took his first bite.
We paired our pizza with the apple juice we purchased, which was excellent, but this pizza would go with anything. If you're a wine drinker, this would be a perfect pizza for two during a late night. If you enjoy coke and pizza, this arugula pizza would be awesome for a night in with Netflix. It's a healthy option for dinner or lunch. My son said he couldn't taste the arugula, so maybe this would be a different option for you parents to try with your kids. Who knows, maybe it will be a new favorite for your family too!
