fall love

ok ... this is a couple weeks late :S
and now its snowing!
but here it is anyways ...

i LOVE fall!

it's sometimes hard to admit

because it means we are that much closer to a long cold winter

but i can't resist loving fall!

the colors

the smells

the crisp fresh in the air

and

fall food!

 

i'm gonna take this blog into full fall goodness!

new receipes that taste like fall!

some will be winners

some will be losers (i'm sure !)

 

thanksgiving seemed like the perfect kick off to this.

family, laughs, memories and food!

 

desserts ... i would say are more my forte

so i'm gonna start sharing with you

NEW fall recipes!
 

my 'rules' for myself are this:

1. i can't have made the dessert before (execpt this first post!)

2. i MUST document and

3. i'm going to try doing 1 new dessert a week

i may end up gaining some pounds (!)

 

caramel popcorn

1 cup air popped corn

2 cups brown sugar

1 cup butter

1/2 cup corn syrup

1 tsp salt

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp baking soda

 

pop popcorn.  will make about 5 quarts

combine brown sugar, butter, corn syrup and salt in medium pot

bring to a boil -- boil for 5 minutes, without stirring

take off stove and stir in vanilla and baking soda

pour over popcorn and mix well

spread on cookie sheet and bake at 250 for 1 hour.

*i don't usually bake the popcorn, i find it stays softer without baking it.

 

enjoy!
