Festive Luau Pizza

Holiday time brings an added element of busy to our schedules. That's why all parents can use a few quick but sure to please recipes for a family meal at home, entertaining friends or a gathering on the go. This recipe for Luau Pizza fits all the criteria. The Hood Sour Cream enhances and transforms this recipe from simple to spectacular. Hood Sour Cream isn't just for baked potatoes at your holiday feast, you can add it to this pizza for a base that has a creamy and cool taste when paired with the crushed red pepper flakes sprinkled on top. The prep time is minimal and using a pre-packaged crust means that it's ready in minutes to eat when you are.​ In fact, I suggest using those extra minutes and letting your child help in the kitchen just like mine did with the star cookie cutters!
