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

Homemade Fruit Roll Ups

Fruit roll ups are my children's favorite snack. Normally, I buy them the Annie's Organic brand, but they can become a bit too expansive. When you can pay $3 for organic strawberries and $.70 for organic lemon (already have sugar or honey on hand) then it cost you nothing to make these. Give them a try you might be surprised. These taste amazing!! and smell just as amazing! 
You Will Need:
1 pint Strawberries
1/4 Cup Sugar
1/2 Lemon (juice)
Add sugar or honey to Vitamix
You can leave the tops or not up too you (the tops have lots of vitamins) 
Add berries and lemon juice to Vitamix; do not worry about seeds they will blend up
Blend until smooth
Lay microwave safe plastic cling on baking sheet then add silicone mat, pour mixture on top and bake at 175 degrees for 6-7 hours or until middle is not longer wet 
Flip on parchment paper to cool for one hour
Roll and cut! DONE AND YUM! Store in fridge for a month- probably will not last that long they do not last here!
