Ok popcorn remake!!

Well with the first recipe it didn't go so well so we decided to try a different one!  So we are doing a remake for your yummy pleasure! 

This recipe from Kraft Food was the ticket to popped success!

Following this recipe was easy and quick...the way we all like our recipes!

Thank you kraftfoods and Jell-O for this fantastic Jell-O Rainbow Popcorn recipe!  So for our Memorial Day picnic we made Red, White, and Blue Popcorn bags!  This has to be the most delicious coated popcorn we have tried to date!  

Thank you Orville Redenbacher and @Presto for your awesome popper!  This popper is amazing and such a bargain for the quality of the product!  We couldn't have done this without our awesome Original Orville Redenbachers popcorn and our popper!

We adapted the recipe a bit...you need 8 cups of popcorn for each color, double the batch if you are feeding a large crowd.  

We used Jell-O brand Blue Raspberry flavor for the blue and Cherry flavor for the red.  The white popcorn is just left plain.  

We did not add the nuts, you certainly could add the nuts, we just preferred the yummy popcorn goodness and Jell-O flavors!  Our sweet Isabella is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts so this is basically now a nut free house.  Well, not exactly nut free!  We are definitely nutty sometimes!   

Other than these few changes, we followed the recipe to a T!  It was a team effort, Mama read the recipe and I did the handiwork!  

Ok so it may sound strange to put this mixture in the oven, but it is what makes the popcorn coating harden on the popcorn.  It works great!

Now can you imagine this in a variety of colors for birthday parties?  Weddings? Baby and bridal showers?  Since Jell-O comes in so many flavors you are sure to please even the toughest crowd! 

NOTE!!!!! DO NOT PUT YOUR FINGER ON THE HOT CANDIED SPATULA! NO MATTER HOW BAD YOU WANT TO TASTE THE COATING!  Oh, wow did that hurt!  OUCH!!

Happy Fourth of July!!!!

Canonsburg Fourth of July Parade

We had a great day at the Canonsburg Fourth of July Celebration Parade! Watching the Synergy Dancers was fantastic! The weather was perfect and we enjoyed thanking the military for their service.  For our picnic we are swimming, making crafts, and eating!  The food is so fabulous this year.  We are having hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, cole slaw, cucumbers and onions, All American cherry pie, SunButter cupcakes, and star Rice Krispie treats!  Did I say we are eating??

Thank you to www.somewhatsimple.com and The Baker Upstairs for this awesome cupcake recipe! It is a huge hit and we had fun making them as a family! Thank you! God Bless!

Lots of Veterans were in the parade.  It brought tears to our eyes.  My picture was taken by the Observer Reporter newspaper from Washington, Pennsylvania.  I was so proud to be in the newspaper!

Thank you to all veterans for your service!

We wish you the best Fourth of July! God Bless America!
