<\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWell, apple picking is today and we are looking forward to it because Mema is going to meet us there and we’re hoping for temperatures in the low to mid-70’s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway, pizza and movie night. We watched BIG last week and it was a hit for us all. We’re still working our way through this list of 31 classic movies<\/a> we want to introduce the kids too (I’d say we’ve done about half of them at this point), but as of today (OCTOBER!) we are going to begin working our way through our Halloween movie list<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Remember the days we used to pick up Papa Murphy’s take and bake every week? Do you remember when I was suuuuuper pregnant and got to make pizzas<\/a> at a Papa Murphy’s with Molly<\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Memories… sigh… we loved it so much, but all the locations near us shut down. Still, it will always remind me of when the kids were really little because it was such a fun tradition for us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since they closed down, we had to get really good at making pizza ourselves, and we really have. We always use our bread machine<\/a> to make the delicious, fool-proof dough<\/a>. The toppings though? We like to switch them up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our favorite pizza topping combinations:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Pesto as a base, Italian sausage, sliced red onion, baby bella mushrooms, and tomato (usually we use sliced, but quartered grape tomatoes works, too).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOf course classic pepperoni and cheese will always be a hit for the kids, too, but it’s been fun to have them try different flavors and combinations on our family movie nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ll also note that we have tried pineapple and ham and all stand firmly in the “it does not belong on pizza” camp. Yes, I know, I put broccoli on a pizza and still feel this way? I do. You can’t convince me otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
