My sister-in-law inspired me to dust off our bread maker this week. We've had a house full of delightful fragrances so far…and I haven't bought bread in over a week! These pictures are of Alex helping mom make pizza dough. We found a recipe that called for minced garlic, olive oil, basil, and oregano – what fun! We also have some homemade pizza sauce we're trying. Tomato sauce and tomato paste are way cheaper than buying the premade stuff, or even spaghetti sauce!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m no “Suzie Homemaker” but I like to save a buck here and there, and feed my family with ingredients I can pronounce!
Here is Alex watching the dough being mixed...he doesn't know I'm watching him yet.
Here he is once he's realized I'm talking pictures. :)
On a side note, Alexander is doing wonderful at the whole potty training process. He's only wearing pull-ups at night and those are dry most mornings! Farewell Huggies, you've been a great friend for the past 8 years.

I hear ya on the diaper homefront!
The breadmaker is a Cuisinart CBK-200 2-Pound Convection Automatic Bread Maker. I got it on Craigslist for $40. Not a steal like your $13 one, but still a pretty good deal based on the retail price.

Alex staring at the bread making process is not unusual, even for us adults.
