Today started out pretty chilly, so I decided to make bread :) yumm. Then the girls and I made pumpkin bread for dessert tonight, and this is the best pumpkin bread I have ever had... yumm again!
Then I decided tonight on a cold and windy Tuesday night that it would be a good night to have pizza night! yayyyy. So I threw together some pizza dough and set it aside to rise (i will post the recipes at the bottom).. Then when it was time to make dinner I called all the kiddos into the kitchen and gave them each a piece of dough and they went to town creating their own personal pizzas.
Then with all the toppings available to them they created their masterpieces. Nathaniel choose chicken and cheese. Alex choose frozen veggies and cheese. Brianna and Caitlynn both choose chicken and veggies and cheese.
Then it was off to the oven and about 10 min later it was dinner time!
Yumm dinner was so much fun tonight! Now for the recipes.....
