While we didn’t see many mammals on our late morning hike with Sadie, the reptiles were out and about!
We saw a bunch of turtles in the nearby spring, two tortoises and an itty bitty baby.
This little baby was so awkward and clumsy. We watched it for a little while as it hobbled over twigs and sticks. So cute!
Ryan also helped a turtle to safety towards the end of our hike.
The turtle decided to sun itself in the middle of the road which seemed like a recipe for disaster to us. Keep it movin’, buddy!
Sadie had a blast on the hike and we had fun watching her sniff around and point at birds and squirrels. Half the fun of hiking is just watching Sadie! She’s in her element and is so amusing.
Soakin’ up the love!
Lunch
When we arrived home from our hike, I threw a frozen pizza in the oven to bake while we showered.
It’s not delivery, it’s DiGiorno!
I am not sure I’ve ever had DiGiorno frozen pizza before, though I’ve certainly seen their commercials on television a bazillion times. A craving for frozen pizza hit at the grocery store this morning when Ryan and I saw this pizza on sale. Neither of us could remember the last time we had frozen pizza and once we saw that the box claimed this pizza had a garlic bread crust, we were sold.
The pizza was good, but not great. The crust was a little too thick for me, so the toppings got a little lost in the mix. While we both tasted the garlic in the crust, it wasn’t anything to write home about. It still tasted good, but it wasn’t my favorite.
Date night tonight!!!

Question of the Afternoon
- Do you like frozen pizza? If so, what is your favorite brand?
I am a big fan of frozen pizza and think California Pizza Kitchen frozen pizzas are incredibly delicious.

Ryan has good turtle karma points!
The one thing that I remember about florida was all the frogs! I remember when we arrived, about 10pm we found the house just off the 192, and when we got out of the car their were frogs EVERYWHERE!!!
I tried that same pizza a few weeks back and was really disappointed. As much as I love pizza crust, that was too much.
Agreed! And I love crust, too.
Date night!!! I love your date night posts 🙂 Who is planning this one??
I used to get frozen pizza from trader joe’s before I couldn’t eat gluten any more. I keep meaning to try Udi’s frozen pizza but I just haven’t yet! And I’m sure it’s so fun to watch Sadie, that’s got to be so exciting for her, all the things to smell!
Try O’Dough’s gluten-free pizza crust if stores near you carry it! I buy the four-pack of frozen squares! SO good.
Man, a frozen pizza sure does sound delicious right about now! Especially with these Florida thunderstorms and football on TV! 🙂
My favorite brands are Kashi or Publix Greenwise.
I LOVE frozen pizza, but I agree that sometimes the crust is too thick. I usually just get the store brand multigrain crust, plain cheese and add my own toppings.
I like Tonys frozen pizza!! But our new kick is to get the whole wheat pre made pizza crusts, the brand name escapes me, and add out own individual toppings! It gets my picky 3 year old to eat!!! He loves helping in the kitchen!!
Sadie is just so funny! If I had more time to care for a dog (my main reason for not getting one) I would love a viszla and my husband would, too!
I’ll have to try that one! My favorite is Freshchetta Canadian Bacon and Pineapple….so good!
Have you ever tried Publix frozen pizzas??! They’re so good… I actually prefer to buy the raw dough from Publix bakery and make my own but their frozen ones aren’t too shabby!
Gosh I can’t remember the last time I had frozen pizza! I used to eat them a lot actually, and my favorite, hands down are the Amy’s frozen pizzas. Their margarita pizza is soooo good and I actually prefer it to fresh pizza. With that said, her products aren’t cheap…but they certainly are delicious. 🙂
Call me crazy but I like the cheapo Tostono’s pizza. And not just because it’s budget friendly.
It’s a long story but I’m terrified of turtles. The one in the road would have been toast if I was watlking by. Sorry turtle!
The turtles are so cute– and so is Sadie!
I don’t eat frozen pizza anymore, but when I was little, I loved Tombstone. Something about the spices and crunchy crust. I wonder if it tastes the same all these years later?
You should get the Amy’s frozen pizzas. The pesto one is delicious and they are made with simple healthy ingredients too. They are pricy but worth it and they go on sale!
I agree. They actually taste good and aren’t full of junk!
CPK has good frozen pizzas. I like the Kashi ones too. They are thin crust, but I like the ingredients they have, less chemicals too.

Uh-oh, daddy 2012? It looks like you might have to step up your game girly! ;p
Do you know if there will be discounts for the other Zooma events? I live in MD close to where the Annapolis Zooma will be, but may also take a trip to Texas to run it with a good friend. Just curious. Thanks!
Enjoy your date night!
P.S. I tried your Pumpkin Pie Protein Smoothie this morning and it was fantastic!!! I will probably be making it at least once a week for the next couple months. I’m hooked!
I love the CPK frozen pizzas! I also like Kashi & Private Selections flatbread (sold by Kroger) pizzas.
We hand Kashi’s Mediterranean frozen pizza for dinner tonight actually. First time trying Kashi’s pizza but I really enjoyed it!
Have you tried incorporating tabatas into your workouts? One of the spin instructors at my gym always does it and it’s a killer workout!! I’ve incorporated them into my weight routines as well… I’m too bored otherwise!
the turtles are so cute! 🙂
i am a fan of some frozen pizzas – i’ve definitely had some bad ones, though! i think my favorite is a archer farms goat cheese and tomato pizza. then again, anything with goat cheese is a winner! 🙂
I’ve never been able to find a tasty frozen pizza… Although, I just moved here so the US seems to know what is up when it comes to frozen pizzas.. get on that soon!
It’s hard to find a good frozen pizza! I get some from the farmer’s market and freeze them for quick dinners. They’re 50% whole wheat, cracker-thin crust (just the way I like them), reasonably priced, and in a bunch of different varieties. Much better than anything I’ve ever found at the grocery store!
I love CPK frozen pizzas, too!
And occasionally, I will get the Archer Farms goat cheese pizza at Target. It’s pretty tasty!
I had Dominoes last night after months and it definitely hit the spot!
I’m not a fan of frozen pizza, or any pizza really- other than fresh woodfire pizza 🙂 Or homemade of course!
Just discovered your blog today (through Twitter) and wanted to let you know I love it. Can’t wait to keep reading. 🙂
I’ve had Kashi frozen pizza a few times, and it’s pretty good–definitely the best pie in the “frozen foods” department. 🙂
I love CPK frozen pizzas too! The Archer Farms brand at Target it pretty tasty!
I just found your blog through Cat’s breakfasttobed and i am psyched! I love it when i run into blogs that have a positive vibe. You made me smile! Have a great day and a wonderful week coming tommorrow!
Oh my gosh! I love the turtles! I don’t get those on my hikes out here…in fact if I found a turtle I would assume it was a lost pet and probably catch it to find it a home.
Not a frozen pizza person at all. However, I was dumbfounded to enjoy the Tofurky frozen pizza (vegan). I am not sure there is one redeeming healthy thing about it, but in the right mood I totally enjoy it.
I think Newman’s Own pizzas are pretty good, I like a thin crispy crust sometimes and they turn out really good. Looks like a fun hike! Have a great day. ^_^
