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

Cream Cheese Frosting

Cream cheese frosting is always a good recipe to have for cupcakes, carrot cake, cinnamon rolls, and so forth (or in Daniel's case, to eat plain as is! that man)! For many years, I never understood how to make a fluffy, light, and yummy frosting until I made these for our Christmas celebrations. We tend to keep things the same every year, I guess you could say it is tradition. Christmas mornings, we make the rolls together, getting messy is so fun for the Holiday's, then we make the frosting. 

You Will Need:
1 pkg Cream Cheese, softened
1/4 Cup Butter, softened
1-2 tsp Vanilla Extract
1-2 Cups Powdered Sugar
Cream together the softened cream cheese, butter, and vanilla
Add sugar, I added a little at a time, stir and continue adding until it taste right to me. I never measure the sugar
Mix to combine with a spatula then I use my hand mixer to fluff it up
Done! So yummy, creamy, lightly sweetened and a bit cheese flavor from the cream cheese!
