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

Mini Chicken Tostada

Tostada's are one of my favorite Mexican dishes every. I do not make them as often as I would like but here I just had to have some. You can see in the video, I was prepping pizzas for the freezer. I made a triple batch (not all at once, 3 different times) of my dough, and made 12 pizzas! It was a LOT of work but in between making them I had to get dinner going. Luckily for me, these are SUPER easy to throw together and do not require much attention, leaving my attention on the pizzas I was prepping. Photo below of most of them... anyhow, first think you must do is add oil to your tortillas (both sides), then bake at 400 degrees for 6-8 minutes (keep an eye on it, they puff up fast). Then add your beans, chicken, cheese bake another 6-8 minutes. And top however you please. I wish I had cut up some avocado or made guacamole that would have been amazing. But I did make Mexican rice as the side. This meal filled our family and did not cost much to make.  
You Will Need:
1 Can Refried Beans
1/4 Cup Salsa (or taco sauce)
Shredded Cheese
Mini Flour Tortillas
Shredded Chicken
Lettuce, shredded
Sour Cream
Tomato, diced
Black Olives, diced
Avocado Oil, or whatever oil you want
