Mother Goose Popcorn

I LOVE popcorn!  It's one of my favorite treats and is so versatile.  You can make it sweet or salty or even peanut buttery.  YUM!

Mother Goose is one of my favorites and it's super easy to make.

Pop about one cup of popcorn in an air-popper.  Use a big bowl so you have room to stir or shake. = )

Ingredients
6 Tbsp. butter
2 tsp. vanilla
3 Tbsp. water
1 cup sugar
food coloring of your choice if you'd like it colored

Combine the other ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil.  Turn off the heat and pour evenly onto the popped popcorn.  Use a big spoon and stir it well to coat all the pieces.  If the bowl has a tight fitting lid, put it on and shake the bowl a bit to ensure every piece is coated. 

The popcorn will be sticky until it dries which only takes a few minutes.  When it dries, you'll have a big bowl of sugar coated goodness.

Enjoy!

Butter Sauce For Fish

This is a delicious recipe for butter sauce.  Heat it up and pour it over fried or bbq'd fish.  This is the same recipe used at the famous Garland, Utah Fire Department Salmon Fry.  It's amazing!

Ingredients
1 lb. butter
4 Tbsp. Kikkoman teriyaki sauce
8 Tbsp. lemon juice (use pure lemon for best taste)
2 green onions, chopped
pepper & parsley flakes (enough to taste)

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and cook over low heat.  DO NOT BOIL!

It's the best butter sauce I've ever tried.

ENJOY!
