The Best caramel popcorn ever!!!

This is one of our families favorite recipes! It does not last long in our house. I guarantee you will be hooked!

2 1/2 cups of brown sugar
1 cup white corn syrup
1/2 cup butter
pinch of salt
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla
5 bags of popped popcorn (we like to strain out the kernels so our kids don't bite or choke on them)

First pop all of the popcorn and place in a very large bowl. Then bring brown sugar, corn syrup, butter and salt to a full boil. Add sweetened condensed milk. Cook for five minutes. Add vanilla and then pour over popcorn stirring to coat evenly while pouring. Enjoy!

Krabby Patties


I'm sure there are other names for this but that's what we like to call them.


Okay so it's just potatoes, eggs, chedder cheese, and salt. Depending on what size you want it, you just grate a potatoe (with or without skin) onto a plate. Then add 1 egg and cheese (whatever amount you chose) and mix it together. Add salt to taste. In a frying pan heat up a little bit of oil. Slide patti into oil and fry on both sides a couple of minutes (until golden brown).


We like to make our own "sauce" of ketchup and mayo but you can use whatever you'd like. Please let me know if these directions are not clear. ENJOY!!!!

Barbara's Quick, Easy, Inexpensive Cookies

Take any box of cake mix. Put into large bowl and hand mix in 2 beaten eggs(or 1/2 c. egg beaters). I add 1 T. oil, if needed, and as much water as needed to make a very stiff batter. Drop onto greased cookie sheets by teaspoonsful. You may add almond flavoring, nuts, lemon zest, chocolate chips......anything else you can think of..... to the cookies for added flavor and texture. Sometimes I put a whole almond on the chocolate fudge cookies before I bake them.
Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes or so, depending upon your oven. Check by toothpick(just like a cake) to see if they are done.
Soooooo easy, soooooo yummy. Enjoy.
