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

Better Than Wendy's Frosty

Growing up I have had my fair share of Wendy's Frosty's and lets' all be completely honest here, you know you all did too! It was something that was cold, cheap, and satisfied a craving for a short time period. Daniel and his mother, Gloria, are completely obsessed with these Frosty's. I figured it was time to try to make these myself because I do not like the idea of not knowing what is in the Frosty's from Wendy's (they sure as hell are not gonna disclose that information). I recall back when I was 18 years old working at Wendy's having to refill the Frosty machine. I thought it was chocolate milk, that froze into a frosty like shake; but boy I was wrong! Groooosssss!! Kristopher and Kailee have had a frosty once or twice their whole life's. When I brought up the idea of making these homemade, Kailee asked me "is it like the dog's frosty's?" Honestly, I could not help but laugh so hard I almost peed myself! That girl cracks me up!! Onward with the recipe!
You Will Need: 
4 Cups Alden Ice Cream (Vanilla Bean)
2/3 Cup  Milk 
10 tsp Hot Chocolate Powder (Silly Cow Farm Brand- Whole Foods Sells It)
      - The flavor powder I got is Udderly Milk Chocolate
All you need to do is throw all the ingredients into the blender, and blend (using pulse or just blend) until smooth; you may need to turn off the blender and stir; I have a crappy blender still (no Blendtec or Vitamix for me still -_-) so I had to do this. Once it starts to blend, it is beautiful and creamy!
Absolutely amazing! Hands down the best!
Tops Wendy's by far!!!
