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

Meatloaf or Meatballs

Meatloaf is another family favorite, honestly I get asked about 3 to 4 times a week if I can make meatloaf and or meatballs and freeze them for later. Whenever I make 2 pounds with it is NEVER EVER enough, so today I decided to make 5 pounds worth of meatballs for the freezer and for dinner. Freezing meatballs can happen 1 of 2 ways; you can freeze them fully cooked or raw. I prefer to freeze them raw, but that is me. If you go to the grocery store and look for meatballs they are fully cooked and really just need heated up and you are on you way. So that is exactly what I am going to do, cook all 5 pounds of meatballs, and then freeze them (mmmmm spaghetti; oh the possibilities are making my mouth water!)
You Will Need:
2 lbs Ground Beef
1 Cup Plain Bread Crumbs
4 tbsp Ketchup
1/2 Cup Milk
1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
2 tbsp Italian Seasoning
1 tbsp Dried Parsley
2 tbsp Garlic & Onion Powder
1 tbsp Sage
2 Eggs, Room Temp (1 egg per pound)
1/2 tsp Thyme
1/2 tsp Basil
Salt & Pepper
