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

Green Bean Casserole

Holidays are coming! Holidays are coming!! OMFG!! Get ready! I love, love, love making this green bean casserole. I use as many pure ingredients as I can; for example I used canned green beans (but I canned them myself!), I used raw grass-fed milk, and cream of mushroom soup (not in a can). You can take any classic recipe that may not be 'healthy' for you and you can make it healthy; as I did here. The crispy onions I used only have 4 ingredients in them (which is amazing considering what is in French's onions). When I use items that are non-organic I like to look for 5 or less ingredients, not in a can, and does not contain anything 'bad'.
You Will Need:
4 Cups Green Beans 
1 Cup Milk
12 oz Cream of Mushroom 
Crispy Onions
Salt & Pepper
Mix the cream of mushroom with the milk, whisk well
Stir in green beans
Add in crispy onions, mix, and top with more. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until everything is heated through
I served it with roasted potatoes, and pot roast that I cooked in spices and other things, then thickened it with gravy packets (organic from whole foods)
