It is easy and my husband could very happily eat pizza for every meal for weeks at a time. We are trying to better about it though and make our own pizza w/dough from Publix or Trader Joe's. We figure that if we make it ourselves hopefully it is a little better for us--and cheaper too.
yes, we have mexican at least once a week, usually more like 3 times a week. we used to have pizza once a week but now not so much, but we do have italian once a week, at least.
We definitely have pizza once a week...used to have mexican a lot pre-kids, but we really don't take them out much these days....hope to again one day, miss my margaritas and cheese dip!
When we do take out it's often pizza b/c it's the most convenient to our house. I would say we have pizza every other week, but some sort of carry out once a week. My husband does not like pasta very much, but it's so easy that I overrule him. We do eat some sort of mexican (made at home not carryout) once a week or every other week because I love it!
Preheat oven to 425. Put pork chops on a baking sheet coated w/ nonstick cooking spray. Salt & pepper pork chops. Top with several spoonfuls of apricot preserves. Top that with panko breadcrumbs. Drizzle a little olive oil on top. Bake 14-16 minutes, or until pork chops reach 150 degrees on a meat thermometer. (**I buy my pork chops at Costco and they are SO thick-- I had to cook them for 35 minutes insted of 15! Using the meat thermometer is the best way to tell if they're done).
I served with a simle green salad. Meant to make rice or green beans, too, but that just did not happen last night.
I would say every other week on all three of these. We love the frozen bbq chicken pizza, so that is a quick dinner. Taco night is another hit at our house. And italian... that may even be every week- we love pasta!
this is a HUGE hit in our house, had it again last night, its so simple and so yummy and has "hidden" veggies. I sub beef ravioli (publix kind) for the cheese to get some added protein:
DH and I both love spaghetti so we do that once a week usually. We also do pizza take out once a week, although he would live on pizza if it was an option. I could probably also live on mexican if it was an option but DH not so much but we usually have it once a week. In the winter we also do chili or white chili once a week. Those are our dinner staples we usually have in the house at all times.
Since I went all hardcore on WW, we don't have pizza very often. And it's the one thing I really, really miss. I make my own whole wheat pizza dough every so often, but our consumption has been cut waaaay back. We maybe eat it once or twice a month.
But Mexican food is a completely different subject. We probably eat Mexican 2-3 times a week - and I cook most of it myself. I make killer roasted tomatillo enchiladas and we love tacos. We have a great little joint down the street too.
Italian, not so much - pasta isn't very WW friendly. We won't go out for it, but I'll cook a baked ziti recipe every now and then. I throw spinach, bell peppers, onions, and spicy sausage in there.

We usually do pizza at least once a week. But not Italian annd Mexican. I fix spaghetti about every couple weeks. And I don't cook Mexican because I can't compete with my MIL's Mexican.
probably closer to every 2-3 weeks for us. I do cook eithr Mexican or Italian at least once a week though.
Ditto this for us. Except I find I make Mexican more in the spring/summer when there is an abundance of fresh tomatoes, cilantro and avocados are in season.
at Emma's school Tuesday night is Dominos Pizza night and a portion of Dominos sales go back to the school for fundraising so we participate in that once a month or so. I try to schedule any night time functions for me on Tuesday's so my husbs can do the pizza thing with the girls.
Just about...but I make my own w/ pizza dough from Publix. Or sometime's it's a mini pizza (for lunch on the weekend or a very quick dinner) for doodle on an english muffin in the toaster w/ some sauce and cheese sprinkled on top..pop into microwave for 30 -60 seconds. add a salad and DONE! She loves to help make pizza!
Sadly...no. I've been eating low carb since August so I haven't had either since then (ok, technically I've eaten at a mexican restaurant but had fajita meat only so I don't count that).

Only if we eat at Costco, then I split a piece with SC. WE used to go the Mellow Mushroom, but DH is on a "healthy eating kick" which means, we don't go out to places that serve stuff he will be tempted with, at least not with me. :-) I do some kind of Italian though weekly and mexican is our typical friday night go out. If we don't go out, i generally make something of the mexican spice variety. :-)
Re: So does everyone have Pizza at least once a week?
Many times it is more than once a week...

Kiersten -- Easy dinner from last night:
Crispy Apricot pork chops (from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food magazine):
Preheat oven to 425. Put pork chops on a baking sheet coated w/ nonstick cooking spray. Salt & pepper pork chops. Top with several spoonfuls of apricot preserves. Top that with panko breadcrumbs. Drizzle a little olive oil on top. Bake 14-16 minutes, or until pork chops reach 150 degrees on a meat thermometer.

no pizza, but only b/c Jackson is allergic...oh how I miss it. But we do have chicken nuggets (or at least he does) at least once a week.
Mexican is almost every week. It's been less lately since it's dark when we get home and we do Mexican out.
Ditto this for us. Except I find I make Mexican more in the spring/summer when there is an abundance of fresh tomatoes, cilantro and avocados are in season.
