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

Rice-a-Roni

These make the best Christmas gifts ever. Who does not appreciate food, made with very minimal ingredients. I sure do and would love these as a gift. Esp since each 32 oz mason jar holds 3 servings or 3 meals each. I included 1 Spanish rice, 1 chicken, 1 beef and 1 brownie mix for each person we are gifting too. 
You Will Need:
6 Cups Rice
2 Boxes Fideo Noodles
Chicken: 
2 Cups rice
1 Cup Fideo
1/2 tsp Pepper
3 tbsp Chicken Bouillon 
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Beef:
2 Cups rice
1 Cup Fideo
2 tbsp Parsley Flakes
1/2 tsp Pepper
3 tbsp Beef Bouillon
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Spanish Rice:
2 Cups rice
1 Cup Fideo
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Minced Onion
2 tbsp Tomato Bouillon 
1/2 tsp Chili Powder
1/2 tsp Cumin
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder 
To Make: heat 2 tbsp butter in a skillet with 1 cup rice/noodle mix. Cook until brown. Add 2 cups of bone broth (I use chicken for chicken, beef for beef and beef for Spanish Rice one). Add 2 tbsp seasoning mix and cook for 15 mins (stirring often). 
If you would like my tags for this, LMK. These are amazing gifts!!
