Let's Cook

Comments

I will soon be adding a new addition to my blog. Some friends and I am going to start making menus with shopping lists. If you would like to join our little party and add some recipes please comment below and let me know. This will save a lot of time for everyone and give us a variety of dishes. I think it will be a lot of fun. I will first be placing a pantry list after receiving recipes and then a list for each week. Five meals will allow you to adjust things and still have your family favorites. Lets Cook!!

Honey Popcorn
(family favorite movie watching treat)

3 cups sugar
1 cup butter or marg (butter always better)
1/2 pint whipping cream (not cool whip, real whipping cream)
1 cup Honey

Mix and stir continuously in medium pan. Boil to softball stage. Pour over lots of popcorn. I would poor it over like two of the very large silver bowls. It will use lots of popcorn. I will make it this week and see just how much I use.
If you have a basic cookbook or you can go online, or just do what I do. To know when you reach softball stage. I keep a small cup filled about half full of very cold water next to stove. When it has boiled for a couple minutes, drop a small amount in the cold water, then move it around with spoon. If it stays together in water, but comes apart when you take it out of water with spoon, then it is ready. Needs to look like a small soft ball. If anyone needs to see this let me know and you can come to my house or if you are close, i will come over and show you what it looks like. I like this better than the thermometer. This is amazing and messy stuff. Enjoy!!!!! You could probably add nuts like pecans and it would be good to.

Not a problem. I am going to figure out my meatloaf recipe and put it on here. So hard to break everything down when I just put things together.

Tip of the Month--Starting a new recipe blog.

Remember, the difference between a "good" recipe and a "great" recipe is the quality of the ingredients. For example, fresh herbs always make things taste better. Freshly grated, high quality cheese can make things tast amazing compared to regular in the bag, already grated. When you want to make a recipe extra good for company or a special someone, or just feel like making something your family will brag about to all their friends, use the fresh higher quality of ingredients. Cut your food budget somewhere else if needed. I promise you and your family will notice the difference. Happy cooking.

Ok getting ready to start our new idea I am leaving room here for ideas and if you would like to join us us our fun. We will start out with two recipes. I will compile the pantry list for the month and then each week a shopping list for the NEXT weeks meals. I want to have an area where comments are made. I rating system. If one has a five then we might want it twice in a month if its an easy one maybe. I would like to make it cooking friendly. write recipe out the way it is and in a space provided write tips you have learned to make it better faster or accomidate your won family better. I would like to have some kind of contest held for the best recipe of the week. Has to be a new one each week. we can come up with them as time goes on. Already have about 10-15 interested the first time I said anything. Hoping to have something fun from this. lets cook!!!!!!!!!! Lets see if we can get this big enough we have six months waiting in the pantry to cook. If one doesnt sound so good one night then move one to the next recipe and come back to that one or move on completely to the next. if you decide you want hamburgers one night becasue they sound good then cook them and use the recipe another time. That is what will be so nice about this one. Mix and move around to what seems good that night.
