Focaccia

Focaccia is soooo fun to make esp with kids. I love getting my kids involved in cooking. The younger you get them cooking, the more love they have for it and want to do it. I started my son off at 4 years old.. today he LOVES to cook. I did not do the same with my daughter and she is really not into cooking. So, I decided any children we have going forward, their little butts will be cooking. Anytime my nieces or nephews are over, we cook together (bread, pizza, biscuits, whatever).  You Will Need: 4 Cups Bread Flour (King Arthur) 2 tsp Salt 1 tsp Sugar (honey or agava)  1.5 tsp Yeast 1 tbsp Oil (olive or avocado) 1 3/4 Cups Warm Water  Bake at 445 degrees 10-12 minutes

Shrimp & Rice

My sister introduced me to this meal and it is beyond amazing.. One of our all time favorites.. what more is there to say about this? Just make it and give it a try!
You Will Need:
1 Cup Basmati Rice or Noodles
1 Cup Chicken Broth
3 tbsp Chopped Fresh Cilantro, divided
3 tbsp Butter, divided
1 Leek, White and Green Parts chopped

2 lb. Large Shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/2 Cup Chicken Broth
1/4 Cup Heavy Cream
1 tsp Lemon Zest, grated
While this is cooking, add the chicken broth, cilantro, and rice into a sauce pan, cover and cook until done, and all liquid is gone
