I think one of the most fun ways to get your kids involved with dinner is to have a make your own pizza night! It’s cheaper than delivery or going out for pizza. Give each person a section of dough and you’ll each have a super customized pizza!
Plus, if you head to Publix this week, you can grab BOGO Publix Bakery pizza dough! Tip: the dough arrives at the store frozen; ask the baker to give it to you straight from the freezer. You’ll be able to stock up at a good price and keep your dough fresh in your personal freezer. 
Another thing to keep in mind is that most pizza toppings are freezable. Chop a bunch of peppers and veggies ahead of time, brown some meats, freeze them, and you’ll have toppings ready when you need them. Or simply buy a bag of stir fry veggies or a can of olives, throw them in baggies, and freeze them.
