I'm not really a football fan, but I am a fan of the tradition of gathering together and enjoying all manner of snacks and small bites. So, in the spirit of camaraderie that brings fans of all kinds together, I'm offering a warm, cheesy dip that will have everyone cheering.
With nights falling earlier and cool weather keeping us inside, it's time to go to the movies without leaving home! Pick out your favorite flick, cuddle up on the couch, and get some season-perfect movie snacks ready to enjoy. Popcorn gets a warm peanut butter glaze and pumpkin seeds get the sweet treatment for a result that will have you smiling.
Summer affords opportunities to cook and bake with the youngster and more desires for a proper snack time. What to do with these gifts? Well, fill them with sandwich-inspired muffins, of course. The well-loved PBJ gets the muffin treatment this time around!
Next time you are thinking that the only way to make the kids happy this summer is to fill them with chips and soda, consider the value of teaching them how to make and enjoy healthy snacks that bring a nutritional boost with them.
Sometimes when you're in the middle of quality family time, you also get the munchies. If you plan a little ahead, it's easy enough to solve this problem! If you've ever had the sweet cereal snack called Puppy Chow before, it's time to make it even better with Nutella!
With kids all over home for the holidays, now is a fantastic time to make a big batch of caramel popcorn. Making it can be a project and it's fantastic for settling down and enjoying while you watch a movie as a family, play board games that made their way under the tree, or gather together with friends and loved ones you haven't seen much over the year. What a sweet treat!
When Mother Nature gives you a giant pile of snow, there's something to be said for firing up the oven and making your home smell sweet. There's also something to be said for taking a bit of time to brave the elements and make snowmen, snow dogs, and snow bridges! Welcome, winter!
After getting great feedback on a previous grown-up version of kid-food post, I thought it was time to tackle yet another favorite of youngsters that can, with a little tweaking, be a rather gourmet grown-up breakfast.
Sweet peppers take center stage in a popper recipe that combines their sweetness with creamy cheese and spicy Cajun seasoning and hot pepper flakes to make an appetizer that can stand on its own, even on movie night! Who said popcorn is the only option?
