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

Yes, I already have a version of stuffed peppers and Spanish rice, but I loved my mother's Spanish rice growing up, the only thing I did not like was using taco bell packets from the restaurant, well now I do not have too!! WOO HOO!! Instead, I created my own and my gosh did the rice taste exactly like it did growing up without the additives and junk! (Taco Bell Sauce).

You Will Need:
2 lbs Hamburger
2 Jars Tomato Sauce
2-4 tbsp Garlic Powder (or fresh garlic)
2 tbsp Parsley
2-4 tbsp Onion Salt
4 Cups Rice, Cooked
1 Pint Homemade Taco Sauce
1/2 Medium Onion, Diced
Salt & Pepper, to taste

I forgot to picture my homemade taco sauce with the ingredients, you can find that recipe above! It taste just like the original minus all the crap they put in it
