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

Theater Popcorn

The most amazing experience is going to the movies enjoying a big bowl of buttery popcorn! Well, with all the GMO's out there, I have opted out of enjoying movie popcorn outside of my home. I tried to recreate the best movie theater popcorn and bam I did! We enjoy this amazing popcorn for movie nights. The hardest thing is to keep the popcorn stocked during the movie, we always end up making two batches, and you would think by now I would learn my lesson and double this recipe, but nope! HAHA! Grab your kids, get your pot, and get into the kitchen to pop some fresh non-gmo popcorn!
You Will Need:
Olive Oil
4 tbsp Butter
2/3 Cup Popcorn
Salt, to taste
Stockpot

To start you want to drizzle the olive oil in the pan, almost covering the bottom. Add 4 to 5 popcorn seeds and cover. Let them do their thing! This is so cool!
I added my butter to my seeds
Mixed them up
Added to the popcorn seeds to the pot (move the kids out of the way, these suckers splash)
Cover the pot and let it do its' thing
OMGG this is super cool- let pop for roughly 2 minutes, you will have to determine when yours is done- I do not like burnt so of course I stop it right at 2 minutes
I melted about 4 more tablespoons of butter, and mixed to the finished popcorn while in the pot still
Add salt, to taste
It is amazing how this taste just like theater popcorn
