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

Spring Rolls

This is the first time I have ever made spring rolls and let me tell you, I have extra everything and plan to make more for the freezer! They are amazing!! Holy COW!!! Everyone goes nuts over these suckers! Yes, it took me a minute to figure out how to roll these, but once I got it, I was rolling away!!! I was always so scared to try making my own but boy oh boy I am so glad I gave it a test! These ROCK!! I made served them with my fried rice!
You Will Need:
2 tbsp Olive Oil
2 Cups Cabbage, chopped
2 Cups Shredded Carrots
2 Cups Bean Sprouts
1/4 Onion, chopped
1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
2 tbsp Corn Starch
2 tbsp Soy Sauce
1/4 Cup Water
Peanut Oil, for frying
Egg Roll Wraps
Salt & Pepper
Chop cabbage
Add all the veggies; carrots, bean sprouts, cabbage, and onion to a skillet (heat skillet with olive oil first) add ginger, salt and pepper 
Cook on medium high for 5-7 minutes (do not want soft, leave a bit of a crunch to them)
Add water and cornstarch to a bowl or measuring cup
Add the soy sauce to the measuring up and mix well
Should look like this
Add to pan and cook 3 more minutes
Place 2 tbsp on the corner of your wrap; fold covering the filling, then fold again (take in sides and roll stopping just before closing; brush water on end and roll up)
Putting my girl to work! While folding your rolls, start heating your peanut oil over medium high heat
Fry for 4 minutes per side
So good!
