Popcorn!!

Book Review

Looking through my books and recipes I came acrossed a book called Popcorn!! Good book for kids to read and even adults.. My grandmother knew I liked popcorn, going to her house and having some fresh popcorn made. .Or I would take a Jiffy Pop with me , or hearing the popcorn popper pop pop.  Its a healthy snack tons of different things you can make with popcorn to popcorn balls ,rainbow popcorn. Since children are out of school right now make it fun with popcorn and math or science tons of ideas on Pinterest or google or find a movie  and munch on popcorn.... Yum

I found a good popcorn to snack on now Its called SmartFood Popcorn -- White Cheddar Cheese .I would rather make my own but microwave kind is good too gets buy in a pinch.

Strawberry Honey Butter

Strawberry Honey Butter

1 cup unsalted butter ,room temperature
pinch of kosher salt
8 small strawberries ,stems removed, chopped
1/4 cup honey

In a medium bowl, crush strawberries using a potato masher (you should end up with 1/2 cup); set aside.
Place butter and salt in the bowl of a food processor; pulse a few times until butter is fluffy. Scrape down the sides, if necessary.
Add in the mashed strawberries; pulse several more times until incorporated.
Add in the honey and pulse until incorporated, and light and fluffy.
Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until needed. Bring to room temperature for 15 minutes before serving
If you don’t have a food processor, you can easily use a bowl and hand held mixer following the same steps listed.
This will keep in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, up to 10 days.

A little of this flavored butter goes a long way - if you don’t think you’ll go through it in 10 days, simply cut the recipe in half. You can always make it again, since it’s so easy!
