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

Loaded Chicken Potato Casserole

Casseroles are a simple meal; throw everything into a casserole dish, bake and you have dinner in a matter of 30-40 minutes. I love the idea of an easy dish; as a mother of two very active children it is hard sometimes to find time to want to cook or even do it. I love being able to do minimum work but still have the best results on our supper plates.
You Will Need:
10-15 Red Potatoes
1 pk Bacon, diced
2-4 Pieces of Chicken
Green Onions
Cheese, shredded
Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
1/2 Onion
Parsley
Dice your potatoes, and place in casserole dish, place 4-6 tbsp of olive oil, salt, pepper, parsley and chopped onions. Bake at 475 degrees for 1 hour or until fork tender... meanwhile 
Dice your bacon
Brown bacon and crisp in your skillet; save 3 tbsp of bacon grease for the chicken
Dice your chicken, season however you wish (I used homemade chicken seasoning, salt, and pepper) 
Cook completely... 5-6 minutes a side on high (my chicken was cooked frozen that is why there is lots of water in the pan- no biggy)
Top chicken on the potatoes 
Add cheese
Bacon
Green onions
Bake 400 degrees for 10-20 minutes or until cheese is golden brown (I used my broiler was too impatient)
