Calling all Dudes and Dads! Whether you
are a Dude who is about to embark on the journey
of fatherhood or a grizzled veteran in the world of
parenting, we want to hear from you! Dudes, tell us
what frightens you the most about becoming a dad.
Share your current life with us. Are you into fitness? If
so, tell us more. Completely devoted to your career?
Describe your perfect day. Perhaps, you’ve just met
that special someone who has grabbed your heart and
you can’t wait to start a new life with your new love. We
want details. Dads, what about you? Are you helping
care for a newborn? Do you have a toddler? Did your
child just experience the first day of school. Maybe
you are learning what it means to have an empty nest?
Whatever stage of “dadhood” you are in, we want
to hear from you. The Journey from Dude to Dad is
exhilarating, terrifying and unbelieveably rewarding.
Don’t sweat the small stuff. Wait... never mind. Go
ahead and sweat this small stuff... at least for awhile.
It’s what many dads do. Just don’t sweat so much
you become dehydrated. Then, you lose focus. That’s
not good. Okay, you get the point. We are all in this
together. Let’s help each other. We want to hear your
story, share your photos and exchange ideas! Email:

your story.
Sheet Pan Breakfast Pizza
Kids (and adults) love this breakfast pizza! Grab a large rimmed
sheet pan and bake it at the beginning of the week. Leftovers
reheat amazingly in the oven or air fryer for breakfasts all week
long. Feel free to add whatever toppings your family enjoys - but
the gravy and sausage combination is fantastic!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 tube Pillsbury thin crust refrigerated pizza dough
- 1/2 lb ground sausage
- 6 eggs
- 4.5 oz Fritos Mild Cheddar Cheese Dip (1/2 can)
- 2.75 oz pkg Gravy mix
- 1 1/2 cups Colby cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- salt
- pepper
- garlic salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Spray a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a skillet brown and cook the ground sausage. Drain off the grease and set aside.
- In that same skillet scramble the eggs and cook until firm (adding salt & pepper if you desire),
also removing from the heat and setting aside.
- In a saucepan make the gravy according to the package directions (add pepper and garlic salt if
desired). Once made remove from the heat and set aside.
- Open the tube of pizza dough and lay it flat onto the sheet pan. Using your fingers gently press
out the dough to the side of the pan until the dough reaches the edges.
- Using a spoon spread the cheese sauce over the crust. Then layer on the sausage and
scrambled eggs. Taking a spoon dot the pizza with the prepared gravy.
Finally sprinkle on the Colby and Mozzarella cheeses.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until slightly golden and the crust is firm.
- Serve warm.
