My girls love to bake and are always asking to help me in the kitchen. I have a hard time with letting them because the kitchen is my special space, most my time is usually spent in the kitchen. It's very hard for me to share this space with anyone else. Lately though I've been trying to deepen my relationship with my children. They are all getting older and i know that they aren't going to be asking to spend time with me like this for long. I need to really take advantage of their desire and make the memories that are going to strengthen the bonds that we share. So when i saw that foodstirs was having a great promo i took advantage and grabbed 3 boxes for $29.

Foodstirs is an organic baking line, they promise a more natural and easier way to get baking done. I love what this line is about. I usually cook from scratch but sometimes its nice to be able to just grab a box and some oil and eggs and make up an easy dessert. I hated that the only options available to me had ingredients I didn't want in my food. Thankfully Galit Laibow, Greg Fleishman and Sarah Michelle Gellar felt the same way and did something about it! Who would of thought Buffy would be going from butt kicking to boxed baking mixes? So if you head over to foodstirs you will see the baking mixes they offer, some even in stores and you will also see they have a subscription box that they send out every other month. 1 Kit will cost you 14.99 + shipping and multiple boxes go down to $13 + shipping. This months box was a campfire theme.





Since we were baking already i decided just to make pizza for dinner. I usually make my own pizza dough it's super simple and really quick to do. It does need an hour or two to rise though. Here is the recipe I use:
In a mixer, combine flour and salt. With the mixer running on low speed (with dough hook) drizzle in olive oil until combined with flour. Next pour in yeast/water mixture and mix until forms into a ball. It will be slightly sticky still.


I love how excited my kids get about being in the kitchen with me, the look of pride they get when they see what we've created is truly priceless. The foodstirs box was definitely worth getting for our family, my kids are going to flip when they find out that October's box is monster cupcakes. What does your family do to bond? What do you think of the Foodstirs box?
