A recipe I can’t wait to try – Caramel Corn!

I'm someone who believes the only way to see a movie is in a big theater, on a big screen, with a big bag of popcorn.

If you asked me to pick my favorite food my response would probably surprise you.  Granted my favorite foods change a lot but one that has always stayed is popcorn.  I absolutely love popcorn, any kind of popcorn.  From microwave, to movie theatre, to chocolate drizzled, I love them all.  However, most of the time I have to buy whatever kind of popcorn I want because I don’t know how to make creative kinds of popcorn.  However, after seeing this recipe I’m hoping that will change and I will be posting many new creative popcorn recipes.  My hopes are high for this recipe… can’t wait to try it!

Life Changes = Cooking Changes

For those of you who don't know me personally I've had a huge job change recently.  So I apologize that I have not posted on here in a while. Almost a month ago I took a job teaching high school science.  So far it has been a wonderful experience in which I've been able to use my college degree.  However, for those of you who are not teachers I had no clue how much work a teacher puts in to their job.  I now appreciate every teacher I had and the 12 - 15 hours a day they would sometimes put in to teach me.  With this job change I've also lost a lot of my free time in the evenings.  The times I would use to cook before are now spent grading papers and making lesson plans.  So along with this job change I've also had a change in my cooking.  I have gone from spending two hours cooking each night to learning to throw together quick meals.  So my posts will also reflect this from here on out. Some of you are cheering because you also need quick easy meals and others of you may be a bit disappointed because you love the challenge that an involved meal brings with it.  I agree with both of these sides, I love the challenge of an involved meal but I definitely need the convenience.  So while most of my weekday posts will be quick convenient meals I am still making meals that involve a little bit more of a challenge on the weekend.  I hope you'll follow along with me in this adventure of cooking and teaching.  I can't wait!  Here's my first super simple crockpot recipe below.
