    I just made the chocolate chip cookies in a cup recipe last night and my family LOVED it! The only drawback was each cup took one egg, so for me that’s a little expensive. But I will definitely be doing these again!

        Oh okay! Just wondering because I recently posted a stove top recipe on my blog, and I’m trying to convince everyone I know who normally does microwave popped to try it out. It is so much tastier, in my opinion, and of course healthier! I don’t really know how it compares to air popped because I’ve never tried it that way. 🙂 Either way- if you and your kiddos want to try a new popcorn recipe anytime soon, here’s the link: http://bit.ly/12gCTCU

            We have a microwave popper (which is really just a plastic or ceramic plate/dome) that we use all the time. I love it, ease of microwave pop corn with the oil-less results of air poppign and really no clean up.

            I know a lot of people have sucess putting the corn in just a normal paper bag and popping but I’ve always ended up with a lot of excess unpopped kernels (or burnt popcorn is I leave it long enough to pop ’em all.)

            Just a thought..

    I have so many recipes pinned to try on my boards, I really need to just try one or two out each week. I did create a new freezer jam recipe this week using what berries we had on hand and it turned out. 🙂
    My daughter and myself have made the homemade bath bombs for gifts before an they were really well received. Have fun tinkering in the kitchen this week.

    Here is our menu for this week, we are having lots of easy to make meals,
