My 4-year-old daughter loves to help me make pizza!  She can actually do 90% of the job herself :)

Here are her pizza-making duties:

1) Brush the pizza crust with olive oil – I pour the oil, she uses the pastry brush to spread it and make the pizza shiny :)

2) Put the tomato sauce on the pizza by using a spoon and then spread it evenly.

3) Sprinkle the pizza with shredded cheese (and her favorite part is sneaking some of that shredded cheese in her mouth)

Even toddlers can help with the cheese sprinkling :)  Cooking is a wonderful indoor activity for kids.  Making pizza with kids will keep the kids busy, plus you will get dinner on the table!

I hate those tough lids that get stuck!  It makes me mad just thinking about them!  Nothing like having to stop making a recipe just because the stupid jar won’t open…

There were so many times when I couldn’t get one open, so I had to wait for my husband to get home, so he can try opening it :)

Recently I got a simple gadget that completely solved the “stuck lid” problem.  It’s called “JarPop”, and ever since I got it, I was able to open every single jar!  It works just as shown on the pic below:

Pop – and the toughest lid gets UNSTUCK!  Everything genious is simple :)

You can grab the JarPop gadget on Amazon – just CLICK HERE FOR JARPOP

Here’s a lazy way to make homemade pizza dough from scratch - just dump the ingredients in the bread machine, and let the bread machine do all the work!

Ingredients For Bread Machine Pizza Dough Recipe:

2/3 cup water (lukewarm)
2 tbsp oil
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast

Directions How To Make Pizza Dough In A Bread Machine:

Pour water and oil in the bread machine pan.  Add flour.  Add sugar, salt and yeast.

Start the “Dough” cycle on the bread machine.  When the cycle finishes, the dough is ready.

Take it out and roll into a circle for your pizza.  If the dough is sticky, sprinkle the counter and the rolling pin with some flour, so it doesn’t stick while you roll it.  This portion makes one large pizza.
