We are coming to the end of September so quickly, sad I know, but we have actually been looking forward to this time of year for a while now. Why? Because one of our favorite places to visit for a fun filled day, The Indianapolis Children's Museum, is getting a brand new exhibit on September 26th.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are coming!! That's right, these Heroes in the Half Shell are descending upon our great state with all their ninja skills and teamwork! Now, ya'll know how much a good ninja is near and dear to this Tae Kwon Do Family's heart, hence why we are super stoked!
And there is nothing in the world Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello love to eat more than pizza! So I took some inspiration from them, and one of my little ninja's favorites, pasta, and came up with a meal that is sure to please any Ninja Turtle fan, from young to old!
A perfect weeknight meal, you can easily add your most loved pizza toppings! Or maybe a twist on Friday movie/pizza night! Any way you serve it, it's a meal the whole family will devour!
If you are planning a trip to the Children's Museum any time soon, be sure to stop by the Turtles exhibit, you might just find your EMM ninja loving family there too!

Love Pizza casserole dishes and this looks Fantastic.
ReplyDeleteA person could use the mini pepperoni, that way no chopping involved
