Making Spooky Focaccia with Wright’s Baking

[Ad- gifted product] We’ve had focaccia from the Wright’s Baking line previously, as it’s literally Amelia’s favorite thing to bake and decorate. So when she suggested we use the Wright’s Baking Rosemary and Garlic Focaccia Bread Mix to create a giant loaf of spooky Focaccia. Focaccia is often a time-consuming and challenging bread to make, but with this mix it’s very teen friendly and Amelia can make the entire mix on her own.

The focaccia mix is one where you just add water and oil, so I took everything out of the kitchen, popped them on the counter, and left Amelia to it. She measured and made up the bread – but then there is a bit of waiting.

All American Dinner at Zak’s Yankee Diner

This year, that was extremely close to Zak’s Yankee Diner – an American style diner with tons of American classics. I’ve been to a few American Diners in Great Yarmouth, and they haven’t really impressed me, as an American who’s been to diners in America. With that said, I had hopes for Zak’s Yankee Diner, especially as they have three locations and have been going since 1976!
