A favorite family dinner

One of our family's favorite dinners is homemade pizza. I make the dough in my breadmaker (thanks mom!) and then we get to make the pizza just how we like. I preheat the oven with our pizza stone (thanks Jai and Jody!) in it. Once it's up to temperature, I take the stone out of the oven, sprinkle some cornmeal on it, and then put the pizza dough on it.

If my husband is out of town, we usually eat the pizza in the family room while watching a movie together. He tends to twitch a little when the kids don't eat meals at the table, so he's usually not around when we do that. If I remember, I even buy rootbeer to eat with the pizza.

He had to work late last night, so the pizza in the picture is customized to the remaining family. M likes ham and pineapple. S like ham, pineapple, and olives. K likes ham, pineapple, olives and pepperoni. I just like pepperoni and olives. J thinks the more toppings, the better.
