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

Vegetarian Manicotti

This meal is quick and simple to prepare and a family favorite, absolutely delicious. Vegetarian Manicotti is versatile with the type of vegetables you can put into the filling. What is even better, I put vegetables into my manicotti filling that my children would not voluntarily eat. I put zucchini in my filling and my kids enjoyed every bite. Next time I may try to put tomatoes or spinach, but I do not want to put too much.
You Will Need:
Homemade Pasta Sauce
Manicotti (28)
30 oz. Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese
2 Cups Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded
2 Eggs
1-2 Zucchini, shredded
1 tbsp Dried Parsley
1 tbsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper
Put ricotta, mozzarella, eggs, spices, salt and pepper into a big bowl and mix thoroughly
Shred and dry zucchini 
Add in zucchini to the cheese mix and fold in 
Bring water, oil, and salt to a full boil
Once boiling, add noodles
Cook to al dente
Put noodles on foil so they do not stick and allow to cool
Fill the manicotti
Put sauce on bottom of pan
Put filled manicotti on top of sauce
Put more sauce on top of manicotti
Top with cheese, cover with foil
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, remove foil and continue to cook until golden brown
Yum a licious!!!!
