A Simple Yum Yum and a Couple of Tips

I was scrolling through my facebook friends one day last week and happened upon a comment by a good friend.  She had just made caramel popcorn for her children from a recipe that her mom had given her.  The nice thing about this popcorn was that it was made in the microwave.  Well, it so happened that I had been having a craving for some caramel popcorn, but wanted a simple recipe.  When I saw her comment I asked if she was going to share the recipe and she did!  Yippee!  I was happy to get a fast, simple recipe.  In fact, I made myself some.  Since there was only one of me to eat the popcorn I did not want to make a total recipe so I “guesstimated” and scaled it down to  a one portion size.  And yum yum, it was very good.  Here is all you do………….

Microwave Caramel Corn - makes 3 - 4 qts.

  • 2 T Light corn syrup,

  • 1 stick margarine,

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar in microwave on high for 3 minutes.

  • Add 1/4 tsp. baking soda...cook additional 30 sec. until all is melted.

  • Stir, and pour over plain popcorn in a brown grocery bag. Shake, shake, shake. Poor onto waxed paper and cool. You can add nuts if desired. Caramel Popcorn in the microwave 10-20-2011 1-29-31 AM

Now let me tell you a couple of tips in case you don’t know. 

  1. For a one portion size of popcorn, you can put 1/4 cup popcorn into a brown lunch bag,  fold down the top, put it in the microwave,  set your microwave on the popcorn setting and in a minute or two you have just the right amount for yourself.  You can add your own seasonings and butter if you like, pour over the popcorn,  shake it up and enjoy!
  2. Today I decided to try my lettuce crisper to pop my popcorn.  Of course if it had not worked, I would never have posted this.  HA   Laughing out loud   But it did!   I added 1/4 c popcorn,  pushed on the lid,  put it in the microwave,  set it on popcorn setting and had my popcorn in a bowl.   I added the caramel syrup that I made,  put the lid back on,  shook it up and it was very good and just the right amount for myself. 

You may notice that the recipe calls for corn syrup and margarine.  I used honey and butter and it worked fine.  So next time you need a treat for your family or your grandkids,  try this – it is fast, easy, and yummy.

Wednesday’s Wisdom

1 Kings 8:61  Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day. How much do we give? Psalms 96:8-9 “Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name:” (Give Praise and worship) “bring an offering, and come into his courts.” (Give personal wealth) “O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.” (Give practical witness) “ God wants our praise.  The world needs our practical witness of a holy life.  and we need to give our personal wealth.  God does not need our gifts-but we need to give.  The greatest gift we can give is to give our lives to His service. ~The above is from My Morning Manna, vol. 3, p. 226, by Ed Nelson

50 Reasons Why I Love the Lord

I recently had a birthday, but more important is my spiritual birthday.  I am so thankful to be born again. This is my 50th year in the Lord!  To think that the Lord saved me and keeps me is beyond my comprehension!  I am so filled with awe and gratitude to my Lord!  Since this is my 50th year to be saved,  I wrote down 50 reasons why I love Him.  It was not a hard task.  There are so many reasons to love the Lord.  I cannot think of one reason why the Lord would want to love me, but I am so thankful that He does.  He only is our HOPE. I have been so overwhelmed with the Lord's love for me that I felt like I needed to share it with others.  If you don't know the Lord, please don't delay.  You will never regret His love for you. He first loved me. He sent His only begotten son to die in my place. He forgives all my sin He saved me by His shed blood He has never left nor forsaken me. He is ever merciful and His merc...
