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

Coffee Concentrate

Coffee is not my go to, however my husband loves it! I have a VERY VERY low caffeine tolerance, a few sips and I am hyper and jittery all day long. No joke.. One day I drank maybe 2 oz of coffee and I painted our whole kitchen in an hour! My husband was amazed! 😂 Anyhow, with prices on the rise, I am trying to find ways to save! F K-Cups!! F Cold Brew for $7.99 (not on sale)!! No thank you inflation! I figured out exactly how to make it CHEAP!!! And taste just as fresh as it did when I brewed it! I bought Starbucks Vanilla Coffee (only one I like) on sale for $6.99 a bag. I was able to make 14 jars of coffee cold brew costing me about $.49 a 32 oz jar! or $.98 for 64 oz (in store they are $7.99 on sale for $5.00 for 1 64 oz container of Starbucks cold brew). 
You Will Need:
1 1/2 Cups Ground Coffee
16 Cups Water
Instant Pot
Mason Jars
First place your coffee grounds in the instant pot, add 16 cups of flittered water (I have a water system we used). Pressure cook for 5 minutes and allow to cool by itself (unlocking on its own takes about an hour). Once unlocked, I strained it threw a fine strainer. Poured into jars half way full, add flittered water the rest of the way leaving 1 inch headspace so they can expand when they freeze. And boom thats it. Place a ring and lid on top, and freeze. I made this stronger on purpose so when it thaws if it waters down, it won't affect the flavor, it will be perfect. 
Let me know if you give this a try and be sure to share this and pin it! 😀 Never know when you will be without power, and having coffee you can thaw and refreeze is a must!
