Annabel was a little under the weather on Saturday, the day we planned to head to a cool restaurant at the beach where kids can make their own pizzas for dinner. So Daniel had the awesome idea to do the pizza making at home. So we did! And why didn’t we do this sooner? It was so much FUN!
Hubbie picked up already made pizza shells, organic pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and black olives (Annabel’s absolute favorite). We also bought fresh basil, feta cheese, red onion, and spinach so we could make a yummy Greek pizza.
The kids loved the hands-on pizza prep. The bake time was about 15 minutes. Then we made it a family picnic in front of the television while we chowed down and watched a couple episodes of House Hunters on HGTV. (Annabel fancied up her space by using the vintage butterfly cuff I bought that afternoon as her napkin ring.) My kids are officially addicted to House Hunters and love to scream out their house pick at the end (“Number ONE! No, No, No, Number THREEEE! Number One is over their budget and only has a one car garage!!”) Seriously.
I suggest you and your family find time for a make-your-own pizza night this holiday weekend. It’s perfect family bonding. With, or without, the House Hunters.
