Focaccia Pizza

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  Toppings: Rao Pizza Sauce Sausage Links, cooked and cut Applegate Pepperoni Green Bell Pepper Mushrooms Olives Onions, Sautéed  Pizza-part bake at 445 degrees 10-12 minutes

Fajita Night

One of our favorite new meals, I cannot believe I forgot I had this recipe completely done in September 2015, and never posted it! I guess it got lost in my other recipes! Boo to me!! =/ These fajita's seriously made my house smell like onions, peppers, mushrooms, and yummy homemade seasoning for WEEKS! We made these the first week after moving in, and I could smell the peppers lingering in the apartment for 4 weeks (maybe longer), afterwards. So amazing, delicious, easy to make, does not require much 'hard' work and just overall will please all of your guest or family. These are a huge hit anytime we have friends or family come over; I love whipping them up. It just allows people to pick and chose what they wish to have on their meal instead of shoving everything in it and saying "here eat it and shut up" lol.
You Will Need:
Sirloin Steak
Sour Cream
Raw Cheese
4 Peppers, sliced
4-5 Onions, sliced
2 pks Mushrooms, sliced
2-4 tsp Garlic 
Home Canned Salsa 
Salt & Pepper, to taste
Cut veggies, and cook down in skillet
I used my cast iron skillet, haha way too small! But I made it work!
Start browning your meat, add seasoning; the cook really depends on you... you can cook longer, but I cooked it 4 mins aside, sometimes less.. I wanted it pink in the middle still; once that is down, dump into a glass bowl with its juices
Add a little Olive Oil, add chicken, season it and cook away.. this is a bit longer as you do NOT want raw chicken, 8 mins a side.. again when done, place in a glass bowl of its' own with the juices 
You are ready to go... that is how I made mine 1 of each!
So delicious, easy, and a 'knock your socks off' kinda meal!
