Hot Chocolate Mix

This morning, Alabama wanted to make hot chocolate mix for a gift for her music teacher's birthday.

Thankfully, I had enough powdered milk, so we quickly mixed up a batch before school.

Were we late for school? ....ha ha, guess you'll never know!!

Actually, they got to the bus stop AS the bus was coming down the street, so yes, they did make it on time!! The first recipe is the one Jeff remembers his Mom making for him when he was little.

Popcorn!

Jolly Time Popcorn For those of you who know my husband, he has a sense of humor that I love! He's been making fun of me for taking soooo many pictures of FOOD lately. When I started taking this impromptu video of him making popcorn, he got right into it! Jolly Time Popcorn: Pour about 1/ 2 cup oil in the kettle. May need to adjust measurements to fit your kettle size. Turn to a high heat and add 1/2 cup kernels. Be sure to keep a close eye on it and shake it to keep the kernels from burning. Once all the kernels stop popping remove from heat and salt. When Jeff and I first got married I didn't eat popcorn. I really didn't like getting the kernels stuck between my teeth! Then he introduced me to Tiny Tender Popcorn and Ladyfinger. I couldn't believe the difference! Every time we go to Indiana, Ohio or Pennsylvania we buy as much as we can. We can go through a 50 lb bag in about 1 year! It's a relatively healthy snack, and it
