Parmesan & Chili Popcorn

I love good food, but the truth is, I don’t have a problem eating small portions of what I love. In other words, I’ve never eaten a stack of cookies, I rarely eat a whole candy bar in one sitting, and a scoop of ice cream is plenty for me. HOWEVER, when it comes to POPCORN, it’s an entirely different story. Perhaps I should join (or create) Popcorn Antonymous, a group for popcorn lovers like me. I love it slightly buttered, caramelized, or cheesy. I DO NOT like the microwave versions. Give me the kernels and let me do it my own way.

Omelet Bar Fellowship

Years ago I remember hearing Ina Garten say, “Having an omelet party is a bad idea. By the time the last person’s omelet is made, everyone else is done eating!” When our small group decided to have omelets for a fellowship time, and I knew there would be close to a dozen people at our house, I knew I had to come up with a better plan than standing at the stove making omelets and missing all the guests that had gathered.

The solution was really easy! I filled the egg mixture into muffin tins, then everyone chose two of the muffin cups as “theirs.” They filled a small bowl with the ingredients
