Popping Perfection!😁
Who Doesn’t ❤ Fresh, Homemade Popcorn?
But popping the perfect pop can be tricky.
I personally don’t like air popped popcorn. I think it’s rather tasteless. IMO, a little oil when making popcorn is worth the calories, along with a drizzle of butter to top.😉
The stovetop method (see link below) I tried recently yielded excellent results.
Follow each simple step to the letter and get ready for popping perfection.

Got Pretzels to Use Up? Check Out This Recipe List! ;-)
I’m NOT a big fan of pretzels but I DO use them when I make:
The problem is, where we live, there seems to be no small bags of pretzels, just LARGE BAGS that leave me with a lot left over, when I make a batch of party mix.
Thought I’d check out some other ideas for using up pretzels today and I found this list:
27 Perfect Ways to Eat Pretzels
I’m still undecided what I’m going to try from this list, maybe the Peanut Butter Pretzel Bars or the snack mix.
But I definitely will be able to use up those pretzels! 😉

If You Love Black Olives…
….like I do, you will ♥ this easy tapenade recipe. 🙂
Black Olive Tapenade
1 1/2 C. black olives (I use Kalamata)
1/4-1/2 C. chopped fresh basil (to taste)
1-2 T. fresh rosemary (to taste)
1-2 cloves garlic (to taste)
2 T. fresh lemon juice
Blend in a food processor to a chunky consistency. Allow to cool in the fridge at least an hour to blend flavors. Keeps well in a sealed container or jar, in the fridge for about a week.
*****************************
Although I’ve been making an ongoing effort in the past few years to REALLY cut back on sodium in all kinds of foods, olives are still something I splurge on occasionally, in this regard.
I do wish they used less salt when curing them though. I have yet to taste any olives that weren’t extremely salty. And as I’ve cut down on salt, everything tastes saltier too.
But when it comes to this tapenade, a little goes a long way.
I like to spread it on crackers, wraps or in a sandwich. Yummmm! 🙂
Happy Snacking!

Thanks to Chef Julianna for this spiced nut-mix recipe.
I’m planning to make some later this week. Looks like a keeper! 😉
Happy Snacking.
Pumpkin Seed and Cashew Crunch
Everyone loves a party, right? Especially in the bleak winter months of January and February when we all need a lift! Well, when I heard that Angie over at The Novice Gardener was hosting a Friday night blog party called Fiesta Friday, I thought it would be fun to hang out with a bunch of like-minded bloggers and mix and mingle a bit. So, like I normally do when I’m going to a pot-luck, I hit my back issues of Bon Appétit magazine to search for some inspiration for my contribution. When I saw this recipe I knew what I was bringing! It’s perfect for a party and I could make a double batch as afternoon snacks for my husband and I. This is an awesome recipe! Let me tell you, we have been nibbling away at the bowl since yesterday and you guys…
