Jello Popcorn W/O Corn Syrup

By JoshandMegs -
 I really like jello popcorn, and this will be the only way I make it from here on out.
I feel way better about allowing myself and Abigail to consume this, knowing there is no corn syrup! I thought it was delicious and I didn't even feel guilty scraping at the bottom of the bowl, knowing it wasn't just corn syrup I was sucking down ;)

Jello Popcorn 

Popcorn, popped
Jello flavorings, possibilities are endless
Vanilla extract 
Honey
Salt, optional

Simpy replace the honey for the corn syrup! Yep, it's that easy.
I don't have specific measurements for our small portions, because we just pop the amount we want, and make a little 'syrup' to go on each bowl. Which means everyone can have whichever flavor they want!  If I had to guess...

1T honey
1t flavoring
Few drops of vanilla
Pinch of salt
Soup bowl size of popped popcorn  

You can just use the standard recipe for a large batch of this stuff, follow the instructions and just replace the same amount of honey for the corn syrup.
For small portions, all you do is squeeze some honey in a bowl, add a little vanilla, a pinch of salt (if you'd like a bit of salty touch to your sweetness), and of course your flavoring. 
Microwave for 15 seconds, then pour over your popcorn! Viola!

Bon Appetite!

Josh got me to try some lentil soup at Corner Bakery. I was nervous, because I have not liked lentils in the past, but in the past few years I have grown to love many things I hadn't previously. And I liked it! So I immediately went on the hunt for a "copy cat" recipe, and though I have no idea if this is in fact the same, all three of us enjoyed it!  Lentil Vegetable Soup 2/3 c green lentils 1/3 c orange lentils (you can really use whatever lentils you wants) 1 lg onion, roughly chopped 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 lg tomato, chopped 1-2 carrots, diced 1/2 c mushrooms 1/2 bunch spinach or 2-3 big leaves of kale, chopped fine 1/4 c corn 2-4 c vegetable/chicken broth S&P to taste Combine and wash all lentils and set aside. In a pot, heat some olive oil and saute onions, carrots, and garlic till onions are translucent. Add the mushrooms, and some salt. Saute a few minutes until they get soft, then add the tomatoes. Cover and let t...

Easy Shepherd's Pie

1 lb. ground beef 2 cups hot mashed potatoes 1 cup KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed 1 cup beef gravy PREHEAT oven to 375ºF. Brown meat in large skillet. Meanwhile, mix potatoes, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese and the garlic until well blended. DRAIN meat. Return to skillet; stir in vegetables and gravy. Spoon into 9-inch square baking dish; cover with potatoes and remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese. BAKE 20 min. or until heated through. Many of you know Jon and I are picky eaters. This is one recipe we came across in the Krafts Food magazine when we were searching for meals we'd both like. I have never had Shepherd's Pie before, but I liked it. I especially like that it is pretty quick and easy. It tastes good as leftovers too. We haven't mixed the cheese into the potatoes because we didn't really feel like it or added garlic just because we didn't have any, but I'm sure it'd still taste good.
