Caramel Corn........Week #7 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies

I'm a little late this week getting my post up for The 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies.  But here it is.  Not a cookie but a sweet snack worthy for any Christmas tray or Christmas food gift.  

I just love, love, love caramel corn.  Much of my childhood was growing up in Ocean City, MD and one of my favorite childhood memories is eating Fisher's Popcorn from the boardwalk.  Making your own caramel popcorn at home is easy.  Your family and friends would love to get a container of this classic favorite.  I guarantee they will ask for more.

Caramel Corn

Recipe slightly adapted from Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook

Ingredients

7 to 8 cups popped popcorn

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

6 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons light-colored corn syrup

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions

1. Put popped popcorn into a 17x12x2 inch baking pan. (such as a large rimmed cookie sheet) 

2. To make caramel mixture, in a medium saucepan combine brown sugar, butter and corn syrup.  Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture boils.  Continue boiling at a moderate, steady rate, without stirring, for 5 minutes more.

3.  Remove saucepan from heat.  Stir in baking soda and vanilla.  Pour caramel mixture over popcorn; stir gently to coat.  Bake in a 300 degree oven for 15 minutes.  Stir mixture and bake 5 minutes more.  Remove from oven and allow to cool.  Store tightly covered for 1 week.

Make a foodie gift: package your popcorn in a Christmas themed box or container.  They may just return it for a refill.

My husband decided to sneak a few pieces as I was trying to take my photos.  He has a huge sweet tooth and is really benefiting from all my baking.

Enjoy!

Mom's Cooking Club Lesson:  I used about 1 and a half bags of popped microwave popcorn.  Use any type of popcorn you like to make.      

  

Chocolate Chip Macadamia Nut Cookie Bars.......Week 6 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies

It has been such a busy crazy time for me.  I'm sure many of you can relate.   But I still had time to bake something this week.  It needed to be quick and it needed to be easy.  But it still had to be a yummy dessert.  You will find it in these Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars.  The addition of Macadamia nuts elevates it to something extra special and extra delicious.

Lemon Icebox Cookies........Week 5 of The 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies

After my rich and decadent holiday dessert last week, I wanted to make  something a little lighter this week.  I'm not sure if you can call a butter cookie "lighter" but it sounds good to me.

Ice Box Cookies (aka Refrigerator Cookies) are basically shortbread cookies that are usually rolled into logs, refrigerated and then sliced and baked.  This dough made 3 logs.  I sliced and baked 2 of them 1 day and then used the 3rd one the next day.  This dough can be frozen for up to 2 months which is perfect to make ahead of time.  You can then thaw out the dough and bake it around the holidays.

These cookies were not "pucker your lips" with lemon flavor.  They had a hint of lemon and were on the crunchy side.  Very good butter cookie that went perfect with a cup of hot tea.  

Make sure to check out the blog hop below for more cookie and treat ideas.

Lemon Icebox Cookies

Recipe by Southern Living

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon grated lemon rind

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Beat butter and sugars at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy.  Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.  Add grated lemon rind and lemon juice, beating until blended.

Combine flour, baking soda and salt.  Gradually add to butter mixture and beat just until blended.

Divide dough into 3 equal portions.  Roll each portion to a 12 inch log and wrap in wax paper.  Place in refrigerator and chill 8 hours.

Cut each log into 1/2 inch slices (about 28 slices) and place on lightly greased baking sheets.  

Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.  Remove to wire racks to cool.  Store cookies in an airtight container.

Note:  I made the cookie dough in the morning and placed the dough logs in the refrigerator.  Later that day, I sliced and baked the cookies.  Fresh cookies for an evening treat.

What surprise hides inside?

Lemon Icebox Cookies!!!

Mom's Cooking Club Lesson:  Part of the fun of giving cookies and holiday treats is the packaging.  I got these cute Holiday Take Out containers at Michaels last year.  Your local craft store will have so many ideas.  Make it festive, make it fun!  

Honey Chicken Stir Fry

There is nothing more satisfying than making Stir Fry dishes at home.  Don't get me wrong, I love Chinese take out but when you can make delicious dishes like this at home, skip the take out and serve your family a healthier, tasty meal.  

Chicken is a regular staple in my house.  But, I'm always wanting to try different chicken recipes.  Different flavors and cooking methods is what keeps things fresh and interesting.  Honey Garlic Chicken is one of my family's favorite  Chinese take out meals.  I found this Honey Chicken Stir Fry recipe on the food website Tasty Kitchen.  We all really enjoyed this dish.  I increased the recipe to  6 servings for the 4 of us and there was just enough left over for my husband to take for lunch the next day.  

***There are so many recipe resources and places for inspiration.  For more chicken recipe ideas, check out Reader's Digest chicken recipe section.***  

Honey Chicken Stir Fry

Recipe by HowSweetEats on Tasty Kitchen

Servings: 6

Ingredients

4 large egg whites

2/3 cup cornstarch or flour (I used cornstarch)

3/8 cup olive oil (I used about 1/3 cup total)

1 1/2 - 2 cups broccoli florets

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 1/2 cups sugar snap peas (snow peas can be substituted)

1/8 cup soy sauce (I used 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 - 2 lbs thin sliced, boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 cup honey

salt and pepper

Preparation

Prepare and slice vegetables.  Place 4 egg whites in a small bowl and beat lightly. In another small bowl or plate, add cornstarch.  Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil.  Add vegetables to skillet and season lightly with salt and pepper.  Saute vegetables for about 5 minutes until softened.  Add soy sauce and garlic to veggies and stir until coated, about 1 minute.  Remove veggies from skillet and set aside.

Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces, season with salt and pepper.  Heat the same skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil to coat pan.  Dip chicken pieces in egg whites and then lightly dredge in cornstarch.  Add chicken to the skillet in batches and let brown 2-3 minutes, then flip and brown other side.  When chicken is cooked, remove to plate and continue in batches until all the chicken is cooked.  Add some more olive oil to pan with each batch.

Once all the chicken is cooked place the chicken and the vegetables back in skillet.  Add honey and mix thoroughly to combine.  Taste and season with salt, pepper, additional honey or soy sauce, if needed.  Serve with rice.  (I used Jasmine Rice)

Disclosure:  This is a compensated post from Reader's Digest to highlight their chicken recipe site and to share their link with my readers.  All writings are my own thoughts and opinions.

Saute some healthy vegetables...broccoli, red pepper and sugar snap peas

Enjoy!

Mom's Cooking Club Lesson:  This dish has a couple of steps to it but you can make it easier on yourself. Cut your vegetables, measure your liquids and have your chicken cut up and coated before you begin the cooking process.  I try to have everything in the order I'm going to use them.  Stir frying is a pretty quick  cooking method so prepping ahead is always a good idea.

  

Snickers Brownies.......Week 4 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies

Ever since I made these Peanut Butter Cup Brownie Bites, I've been obsessed with adding candy to my baked goods.  I was going to make Snickers Cookies (yes there is such a thing), but due to time constraints, I needed to do something that would be be quicker.  So, I googled Snickers Brownies and found this recipe by My Baking Addiction.  


How do I describe these?  Decadent. Rich. Chocolaty. Fudgy. 


Was it a good idea to add Snickers Bars to brownies?


Oh YES!


I know this is a little different for a Christmas treat but I don't think anyone would mind if these showed up on your cookie platter this year.   

Snickers Brownies

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate; coarsely chopped
3/4 cup butter, unsalted
1 ½ cups white sugar

The hidden special ingredient in these brownies.  All I can say is WOW!

Lining the pan with foil makes it easy to lift out of the baking pan and cut into squares.

It's Week 4 and I'm working my way through the 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies.  See the blog hop below for more shared holiday treats.

Enjoy!

Mom's Cooking Club Lesson:  Snickers candy bars have been around a long time.  They were introduced by Mars, Incorporated in 1930.  A candy bar that stays around for 81 years has to be pretty special.  Roasted peanuts, nougat, caramel and milk chocolate.....Snickers!

    

Molasses Cookies......Week #3......12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies

Molasses Cookies!!!!  These are a wonderful Christmas cookie.  But they are the ultimate Fall cookie.  This spice cookie uses cinnamon, ginger, cloves, molasses and dark brown sugar.  What a perfect flavor combination.  The smells that will fill your kitchen will put you in a happy mood.  They are chewy with a light sugar coating.  I really can't stop thinking about these cookies.  A great idea for your Christmas cookie platter but an even better idea is to make them now for your Fall baking.

These cookies are so addicting.  I bet you just can't eat one.

Enjoy!

Mom's Cooking Club Lesson:  What is molasses?  It's the dark, sweet, syrupy byproduct that you get with the extraction of sugars from sugarcane, sugar beets and grapes.  It is created when the juices from these products are processed.  There is sulphured and unsulphured molasses.  Sulphured molasses has been treated with sulfur dioxide as a preservative.  Unsulphured molasses, which is used in these cookies, has a lighter, cleaner sugar flavor.    

Peanut Butter Cup Brownie Bites.....Week 2 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies

Is it a brownie?  Is it candy?  It's a combination.  Candy inside a brownie bite.  Oh my!  This is some serious goodness.  It's Week 2 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies.  This week I decided to make brownies instead of cookies.  There's plenty of room for a variety of goodies on your holiday cookie tray.    

 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are one of my favorite candies.  One of my favorite desserts are brownies.  Put the 2 together and I'm pretty much in heaven.  These are super easy to make and fun too!

My daughter, Marissa, unwrapped all the candy for me and placed then in the batter.  What a great recipe for your kids to help make.

See the blog hop link below for some more wonderful cookie/treat recipes from other bloggers.

Enjoy!

Mom's Cooking Club Lesson:  I had a hard time getting out some of the brownie bites.  Some broke as I tried to remove them.  I may have overfilled the muffin cups.  Next time I will use mini muffin liners.  I think that will solve the problem.  But no worries....we enjoyed eating the warm broken ones.  They didn't go to waste.

Peanut Butter Caramel Corn

Welcome to October....can you believe it? This is one of my favorite months.  The weather is getting cooler, there's a briskness in the air, cooking my favorite fall foods like soups and stews, fall baking, getting ready for the upcoming holidays.  The first one is Halloween.  We always decorate our front yard for Halloween.  I love sitting on my front porch and giving out candy to all the kids.  


Do you like to have adult Halloween parties?  Here is a Halloween inspired menu from the Cooking Light Virtual Supper Club.  This month's theme focuses on Halloween....the spooky, orange or black.  


I made this "Devilishly Devine Peanut Butter Caramel Corn" which is in the October issue of Cooking Light Magazine.  Making caramel corn is so easy and so addicting to eat.  This one is a little different with the peanut butter and almonds but definitely a yummy treat.  A great little party snack.

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

Roz (La Bella Vita) - Chocolate Spiderweb Cookies

This popcorn keeps well in a plastic container.  Great for opening up and grabbing a handful.  And another.  And another.

Enjoy!

Mom's Cooking Club Lesson:  I did not use parchment paper on my baking sheet.  I sprayed it with cooking spray.  My popcorn did stick some when finished baking.  I just used a spatula to get most of the popcorn off the pan.  If I would have used parchment paper, I'm sure it would not have stuck as much on the pan.  The lesson.....use parchment paper.

The Countdown Begins.....12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies 2011

Did I say Christmas Cookies?  12 Weeks of Christmas Cookies?  I know what you are thinking.....how can I be thinking of Christmas when we are just barely out of summer.  Well, this time of year flies by and before you know it, the holidays will be here.  

Last year I participated in the 12 weeks of Christmas Cookies hosted by April from Abby Sweets.  This year I am participating again and it will be hosted by Brenda from Meal Planning Magic.  I hope to share a cookie or treat every week, depending on my schedule.  There will be a blog hop at the end of my post so you can see what others have made.  What a great way to share recipes and hopefully will inspire you to bake some sweet treats for the holiday season.

My first recipe is the classic chocolate chip cookie.  Every holiday cookie plate has to have chocolate chip cookies.  My go to recipe has always been Nestle Toll House Cookies.  But, I'm always game to try different chocolate chip cookie recipes.  This cookie comes from Tate's Bake Shop Cookbook.  It's a thin cookie.  Crusty on the edges but also buttery and chewy.  A really good chocolate chip cookie to share with family and friends.  But then again, have you ever had a chocolate chip cookie you didn't like.  Give this one a try.  I think you'll see them disappear. 

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Recipe by Tate's Bake Shop Cookbook

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter, softened (original recipe calls for salted butter)

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar

1 teaspoon water

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 large eggs

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Grease cookie sheet(s) or line with Silpat.

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda and salt.  

In another large bowl, cream the butter and sugars.  Add the water and vanilla.  Mix the ingredients until they are just combined.  Add the eggs and mix them lightly.  Stir in the flour mixture.  Fold in the chocolate chips.  Be careful not to overmix the dough.

Drop the cookies 2 inches apart onto the cookie sheet(s) using two tablespoons or a cookie scoop.  

Bake for 12 minutes or until the edges and centers are brown.  Remove the cookies a wire rack to cool.

Come back every Thursday for a new Cookie/Treat/Sweet recipe.  Let the countdown begin!

Enjoy!

Mom's Cooking Club Lesson: If you do not have a Silpat, you must butter your cookie pan or your cookies will stick.  I had to butter my pans generously so these thin cookies wouldn't stick and fall apart as I took them off to cool.

Grilled Chicken and Steak Fajitas......Featuring TortillaLand Tortillas

Have you ever heard or tried TortillaLand Flour Tortillas?  If not, I highly recommend that you see if your area sells them.  These are very different tortillas.  They are refrigerated and you make them fresh.  One of the TortillaLand's slogans is, "So Fresh They Haven't Even Been Made Yet".  


I was contacted to sample TortillaLand Flour Tortillas.  They asked if I would focus on a Back to School recipe.  My daughters started High School about a month ago.  We are extremely busy between work and school schedules.  I'm always looking for family friendly recipes that everyone will like.  


My daughters love tacos but I wanted to do something a little more interesting so I made Chicken and Steak Fajitas.  The great thing about Fajitas is that everyone can pick their favorite meat and toppings.  These were a huge hit.  The rub I used on the chicken and steak had wonderful flavor.  My daughters made their own Tortillas in a skillet since it only takes about 60 seconds.  The Tortillas taste so fresh.  We loved them!

Mom's Cooking Club Lesson: Does your grocery store carry TortillaLand Flour Tortillas?  If not, then take this Store Manager Product Request Form to your local store. 

See attached link: http://www.tortillaland.com/deliver?id=17 

My grocery store, Publix, does not carry TortillaLand Tortillas so I'm planning on taking this request form to my store manager.
