I have received information from the makers of TYLENOL®. The opinions stated are my own. This is a sponsored post.
It is Friday night and one of the best night for us as a family. My husband, my girls and I look forward to Friday nights. It is our Family Movie Night and this is #HowWeFamily. We started this tradition as a way for us to spend time with each other. As most of our extended family live overseas, my girls TEE and ‘S’ miss them. Us sitting together as a family watching movies (Hollywood or Bollywood), snacking and just being together reminds us of them.
The special movie night starts with all of us deciding which movie we would all like to watch together (yes we are very democratic like that). The decision making starts as early as Tuesday. Once we have voted, it is my husband job to rent and bring it home. My job is to plan for snacks to have during the movie night. This is also my favorite part. I like cooking and learning new recipes. This night gives me an opportunity to go all out and cook some of my family’s favorite as well as experiment with new recipes.
This is what I am making tonight. It is a recipe for Quick Pizza Appetizer, something my girls love and that I have been making for years.
So this is #HowWeFamily. To celebrate all families TYLENOL® created the #HowWeFamily program which believes that family is not about who you love but how you love. For over 60 years, nothing has mattered more to TYLENOL® than the well-being of your family. The #HowWeFamily program showcases the story of 11 real American families, including one from spokesperson Gabrielle Union which you can watch on www.howwefamily.com or click here. You can also check out the video below. This video is a compilation of real moments from real and diverse families like us that showcases joy, laughter, surprise and unconditional love.
After seeing this video I could not help but wish my extended family lived here with us. We could include them in our Family Movie Night, watch movies together while eating some delicious and yummy snacks.

We always habit of organizing a family night atleast once or twice in a month where we could spend time together with dinner & movies. The HowWeFamily shows sounds like a wonderful stuff from Tylenol & I would love to watch it.

My parents are gone six months of the year. We always do a lot of video calls. When we eat Christmas dinner we have them on the computer so they can eat with us.

Movie nights are the best. We love to still have movie nights from time to time and our kids are adults. Your pizza appetizers/snacks look awesome. Good snacks are a must when having family movie night.

We love having movie nights. My kids ask for them almost every night before we enjoy them so much and it’s a great time to just relax with each other and be present!

We love family movie nights. They’re a great way to spend quality time at home with the family and it’s free!

We started a weekly movie night for my Hubs and I. It didn’t last long because I kept forgetting. That’s what happens when you get old.
Your quick pizza appetizer looks amazing!!
