We have an standing family date night where we make pizza and watch a movie together. Sometimes we make frozen pizza, but a lot of time we make this homemade pizza dough. It’s easy to make and does not require any rise time (just 10 minutes for the dough to rest), so I don’t have to plan ahead of time and start making it at 3 PM. As long as I have the ingredients on hand, we can whip it up together for an easy meal.

It’s a fun tradition that my kids look forward to each week. They love getting to snuggle on the couch (or in our bed) and watch a movie with mommy and daddy. I love it, too. I use it as an excuse to take a break from Cars and Frozen and insist on a family-friendly live action movie. Some of my favorites are Look Who’s Talking Too and Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, Very Bad, No Good Day.
