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

Crockpot Beef & Noodles

When I got married and moved away on my own with Daniel and the kids, I never thought to ask my mother or grandmother how they made beef and noodles, I always thought I knew but I could never master it how they used too. Since losing touch with both my mother and grandmother, I reached out to my sister, Michelle, regarding how she makes beef and noodles and I have decided to take out and add in where I see fit, and let me tell you its absolutely amazing!
You Will Need:
2 lbs Roast
2-4 Brown Gravy Packets
1 Medium Onion, Chopped
1 pkg Mushrooms, washed
32 oz Beef Bone Broth
1 Bag Egg Noodles 
2 tbsp Italian Seasoning
1 tbsp Garlic Salt (or fresh chopped garlic)
Salt & Pepper, to taste
Mashed Potatoes or Rice
The night before, cut your meat and put all the dried seasonings on it and let it sit in fridge until next morning
Cut onions
Add meat, broth, mushrooms, onions, and seasoning to your pot, cover and cook on medium for 6 hours
Get enough broth out of the pot (I did 1 cup per packet of gravy)
Add gravy packets and mix well
As you can see it is really thickened up the broth
Add back to the pot and cook on low.. While this is cooking (sorry camera died at this part) boil your noodles, and start your potatoes for the mashed potatoes
There you go! Serve on top of a beautiful bed of mashed potatoes. This is to die for! I SWEAR.
