Considering she owns a beauty salon, it's understandable that Amy Childs wants to look her best at every opportunity - and, clearly, that includes a brief trip to the shops.

Prime Rib Roast (and don't forget the dessert!) Here are the two recipes that I like to make for my family when the weather gets chilly. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do. Prime Rib Roast Ingredients: 1 5lb bone in Prime Rib roast 4 Tbls butter softened ¼ cup Olive Oil 6 cloves garlic, minced or 2 Tbls prepared minced garlic 6 sprigs of fresh Thyme, leaves taken off of stems, finely chopped 2 sprigs of fresh Rosemary, herb taken off of stems, finely chopped 2 sprigs of fresh oregano, finely chopped 2 ½ Tbls Salt 2 tsp crushed pepper Directions: Preheat oven to 500 degrees Sit roast out at room temperature for about 15 minutes, Pat roast dry Mix butter and olive oil in bowl Mix all other seasonings and add to butter and olive oil Rub the seasoning mixture all over roast Place roast in a roasting pan, fat side up, use the ribs of roast as your rack Roast rib-eye for 15 minutes at 500 degrees Lower oven temperature to 325 degrees Continue to roast for about 1 hour or til meat thermometer reaches 120-125 for medium rare to medium. Remove roast from oven and cover with foil and let roast rest for about 20 minutes, this will allow the roast to continue to cook and the juices to mingle throughout the meat before slicing. Gravy: Pour the roast drippings in a saucepan and cook over medium heat In a small dish add 2 Tbls flour in ¼ cup of beef broth, Whisk together to create a paste Add flour mixture to pan drippings and whisk in and continue on low heat Add 1½ cups of beef broth slowly to saucepan while whisking and heat til gravy thickens. Pour over meat and / or mashed potatoes Enjoy! Amy's Classic Cheesecake Ingredients: Crust: You can use the classic graham cracker or I’ve use shortbread or vanilla cookies. All are great so what ever your preference may be it's going to be wonderful! 2 cups of ‘cookie’ crushed into crumbs ¼ plus 1 Tbls sugar (I like less sugar but feel free to go up to 1/3 cup) ¼ tsp salt 7 – 8 Tbls melted butter to wet crumbs but not make them mushy Cheesecake: 3 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese, soft at room temperature 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt (I use yogurt but you can go classic and use sour cream. I think yogurt gives it ever so slightly a tang and creamy) ¼ cup sour cream 1 ¼ cup sugar 2 tsp vanilla 3 large eggs plus 2 egg yokes, room temperature 3 Tbls all purpose flour ½ cup heavy cream Flavorings/ Sauce: A little lemon – zest of one lemon, juice of ½ lemon added to batter Strawberry, Cherry (I love), Chocolate with hazelnut topping Directions: Preheat oven 425 Crust: lightly grease a 9” springform pan or spray with non-stick cooking spray Crush graham or cookie crumbs or use food processor, mix in sugar and salt and blend til fine crumbs. Add melted butter and stir til well combine. Press mixture down firmly into prepared pan and set aside. Cheesecake: In mixer beat soften cream cheese to break it up and smooth, add yogurt and sour cream and continue to beat until smooth and creamy Add sugar and vanilla and beat til smooth, scarping down the sides and bottom of bowl as needed Add eggs and egg yolks and beat til mixed in and smooth. Add in flour til just combined Stir in cream and mix til incorporated into the batter Pour filling into prepared crust and spread evenly. Slight tap springform pan on counter to pop any air bubbles that may have occurred. Wrap the bottom and up the sides slightly with foil (best if one large piece of foil can be used so not to leak any water in bottom of pan and wet the crust) and may need to use several pieces of foil to make sure bottom of pan is completely wrapped. Place cheesecake pan into a large baking pan with sides. Fill the pan up with warm-hot water til it comes up the sides slightly. This is a water bath and will help prevent having ‘cracks’ in the cheesecake. Place pan in the 425 degrees oven and bake cheesecake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 325 degrees and continue to bake cheesecake for 1 hour undisturbed. Turn oven off and let rest in oven for another 30 minutes. Test with a toothpick to see if cheesecake is done and not wet. The cheesecake will continue to cook and slowly cool down. Remove cheesecake from oven and let rest on the counter until cooled down, 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edge to loosen cake. Remove springform pan ring and cover cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving. Top cheesecake, if desired, to your preference: Strawberry or Cherry sauce, Chocolate with crushed hazelnuts or simply plain. The cheesecake will be delicious serve in any way. Enjoy!

Book Ideas: Curious George Goes to a Chocolate Factory by Margret Rey "George's curiosity causes a problem at the chocolate factory, but his quick thinking and speedy action on the assembly line help save the candies." Lilly’s Chocolate Heart by Kevin Henkes "Decked in fuzzy green slippers and pink housecoat, a crown-wearing Lilly has one Valentine's Day chocolate heart and wants to keep it safe. Unfortunately, several locales aren't quite right: under the bed is dusty, inside the dresser is messy, and behind the radiator is warm. Where will she put it? Not to worry, for with a look of satisfied resolution, Lilly decides the best place is right in her tummy." Chocolatina , I love you by Kraft "Tina eats so much chocolate that she wakes up one morning and finds that she has turned to chocolate. " (This is a cute book, but I should warn you that one of the pages in the story might scare a more sensitive child--Her mean teacher tries to take a bite of her when she has turned to chocolate. You could either skip that page or make something else up. My daughter didn't have a problem with it, but I just wanted to give you a warning.) Oh, Ducky! By David Slonim "When a rubber duck gets stuck in the chocolate-making machine, Mr. Peters dons his diving suit to investigate the pipes and swims through chocolate sharks, ships and sea chests to save the day." The chocolate Cat by Sue Stainton "In a drab village nestled between the mountains and the sea, an old chocolate maker lives alone with his cat, making uninspired chocolates to display in his dusty shop. One day he does something different and makes chocolate mice with crunchy pink-sugar tails--but he won't eat them. Cat soon discovers there's something truly special about these little mice, and everyone who tastes them is inspired to create something new and different, something the little village has never seen." Chocolate by Jacqueline Dineen Informational book that defines what chocolate is, where it comes from, how it is made, and more. (There is too much information in this book for preschoolers, but it has some great pictures of the cocoa tree, cocoa pod, and cocoa beans, as well as the process of how the beans are made into chocolate. Any juvenile non-fiction book about chocolate should have some photos of the plant and process). Activity Ideas: As you read the books and do the activities make sure to talk about how chocolate relates to Valentine's Day. Discuss how chocolates, flowers, cards etc... are often given as gifts to people we love. Make sure to ask them why they think chocolate would be a good gift. Discuss what makes something a good gift. Idea #1: Chocolate Chip Counting Read one of the books and then have your child practice their math skills in this chocolate chip counting activity. You will need a brown grocery bag, a small cup for tracing, a pen, some scissors, a piece of construction paper and a black marker. First you need to trace a bunch of circles on the brown grocery bag and cut them out. Glue them on a piece of construction paper, leaving a little room to the right of each cookie. Then, using a black marker, draw on the desired amount of chocolate chips (the younger the child, the lower the amounts should be). Then draw a line to the right of each cookie, as seen in the photo, so that your child can record the number. The great thing about this activity is that it can be adapted to whatever you think your child needs practice on. My five year old doesn't always remember how to write her double digit numbers, so I made sure to draw on chocolate chips in the "teens" so that she could practice counting above ten and writing down those numbers. For my 2 year old, I only used numbers 1 to 6 and let her practice one-to-one correspondence, as she counted each chocolate chip and we wrote them together. If your child needs practice identifying numbers then you could do the activity this way, as seen in the photo. Have your child identify the numbers next to the blank cookie and then draw on, or glue on (You can use hole punch circles to glue on as the chocolate chips)the right number of chocolate chips. Idea #2: Chocolate Pudding Finger Paint Read one of the books and then let your child finger paint with chocolate pudding. Make the pudding just like the instructions detail on the box. Cover the table with newspaper and make sure to cover up your kids clothes (or even better, just strip them down to nothing:) ). Then, you can either let your child create some artwork by painting on a piece of construction paper(as seen in the photo above), or ....... .....put a glob of pudding on a piece of wax paper and let them "draw" pictures in the pudding with their finger. You can have them practice writing their alphabet, by saying "can you draw me a 'B' or a 'G' " etc... This will give you a good idea of what letters your child knows and which letters you may need to work on. This is what it will look like dry. The wax paper works a little better for the younger ones because they will end up just swirling the pudding around on their whole paper until it is soaking wet. This is a tactile experience for the kids so they may not really want to make a picture, but just enjoying feeling it squish between their fingers. Idea #3: M&M Graphing Read one of the book titles and then explore recording and graphing information, using chocolate M&Ms. Make a graph paper, like the above photo before you start. Then give your child a small bowl of M&M's. Have them sort the colors into piles (sorting is a very good skill for preschoolers to practice). You may have to remind them to wait to eat them until the end of the activity. Then have them count each of the piles and fill in the circles on their graph paper for each of the colors (one circle representing one m&m). When they are done ask them which color had the most and the least and have them circle that group. Idea #4: Chocolate Candy Patterns Read one of the books and then practice making patterns using chocolate candies. Idea #5: Chocolate Candy Collage Read one of the book titles and then let your child make pictures using the chocolate candies. (We used the M&M's, but you could used a variety of chocolate candies). You could glue the candies down if you wanted to, but I think that is sort of a waste of good chocolate:), so we just set them on a piece of paper and then started from scratch each time they made something new.
