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

Dehydrated Apples

My kids love dehydrated apples because they are like "chips" to them without all the nasty additives in the chips. Daniel has never been one to sit down and eat a apple or really any fruit, but I found that when I dehydrated these bad boys he was all over them! Literally ate the whole bag in one sitting. It is like the Pringles slogan says 'once you pop you can not stop'. Well here is mine for dehydrated apples, once you crunch you can not stop! Everybody loves the dehydrated apples, but adding that little extra sweetness makes these suckers stand out on there own! I love to make sure I keep these on hand, along with my other dehydrated fruits. The dehydrator I linked is affordable, BPA-Free and a brand I trust.
You Will Need:
Organic Apples
Organic Sugar
Dehydrator
Apple Core {VERY CHEAP BUT THE BEST}
Foodsaver 
Foodsaver Lids for Mason Jars

Wash apples
Remove core
Beautiful organic apples- you see you can use any kind of apple
Slice on 1/32 
Place sugar on plate and cover both sides with sugar
Fun but messy!
Place on dehydrator
I placed a towel under mine because it leaks sugar! lol dehydrate for 8 hours or until crisp 
Store in ziplock and enjoy! Trust me they will NOT last very long!! Or you can store these in a mason jar and vacuum seal.
