One of my favorite things to do is enjoy an evening around the campfire! Campfires usually lead to drinks and food, and my favorite campfire food is this weeks recipe, homemade smokey white cheddar popcorn!
This popcorn gets it’s smokey flavor from smoked paprika. The fresher the smoked paprika, the stronger the flavor will be. I buy small amounts from the bulk spices so that it never looses its strong flavor! Continue reading

Disclosure: I received free samples of Breton Crackers mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by Breton Crackers and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest.

Bite size food has to be able to impress in that single bite, so you know the flavors have to be good. Therefore, sampling all those flavors, such as my Banh Mi Crackers, has been a lot of fun, and delicious. The Breton Crackers that I received samples of have been great. I received the original flavor, which is quite tasty, and really enjoy their light and crisp texture. The size of the cracker is large enough to top with lots of veggies and smear with sauces, such as my Tzatziki Cucumber Dill Crackers. Continue reading

I was not compensated for my time.As a kid my family used to have snack nights. In lieu of dinner, we would have a tray full of finger foods, usually loaded with crackers, cheese, and dips, as well as fruit and veggies.

I wanted my crackers to be loaded with veggies, so I chose a theme that uses lots of veggies, the banh mi sandwich. These banh mi veggie cracker bites are fun little bites that you’ll keep reaching for on your snack night! Continue reading

I have a serious problem with good deals at the grocery store. When I find a good deal, I can’t leave it there. Luckily, I don’t have the same problem with other things, like clothes or shoes, just food. Probably because I get so much more enjoyment out of food. Well, a few weeks ago I found a great deal on dried cherries. After much deliberation, I decided that cookies were the answer to my deal find. Cherry almond oatmeal cookies that is. Continue reading
