Marshmallow Popcorn Balls

Prep 5 min

Cook 10 min

Ready in 15 min

UNLIKE TRADITIONAL POPCORN BALLS, YOU DON’T NEED TO BOIL SUGAR IN THIS RECIPE—SO THESE SWEET TREATS ARE SUPER QUICK TO POP TOGETHER!

INGREDIENTS
½ cup (125 mL) popcorn kernels
2 tbsp (30 mL) oil
¼ cup (60 mL) butter
1 pkg (10 oz/300 g) mini marshmallows
¼ tsp (1 mL) salt
DIRECTIONS
Add the popcorn kernels and oil to the Electric Pop & Stir. Place the lid on top, then select the POP setting and cook until the kernels have popped and there’s about 3 seconds between pops, about 5-8 minutes. Combine the butter, marshmallows, and salt in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for about 1½–2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, or until melted.
Add the popcorn (being careful not to add unpopped kernels) to the melted marshmallow mixture and toss to evenly coat. When the mixture is cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes, form the popcorn into 8–10 balls.

Happy Fall Everyone!! I'm booking parties :) I have a few dates left in October and November. Book your party today and get a jump start on your Holiday Shopping :)

Here is a recipe for you to enjoy :)

SAUSAGE & EGG BREAKFAST RING
Prep 15 min
Cook 30 min
Ready in 45 min

A CLASSIC BREAKFAST RING IS A GREAT OPTION FOR BUSY MORNINGS OR BRUNCH GATHERINGS.

INGREDIENTS
11 eggs, divided
¼ cup (50 mL) half & half
¼ tsp (1 mL) salt
¼ tsp (1 mL) black pepper
2 red bell peppers
4 green onions
1 pkg (9.6 oz./272 g) fully cooked breakfast sausage (12 links)
2 cups (6 oz./175 g) colby jack cheese, grated
1 tsp (5 mL) olive oil
2 pkgs (8 oz./250 g each) crescent rolls
1 tbsp (15 mL) fresh parsley leaves
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In the Classic Batter Bowl, whisk 10 of the eggs with the half & half, salt, and pepper.

Cut the bell peppers into quarters. Process the bell peppers and onions in batches in the Manual Food Processor until finely chopped. Transfer the mixture to the bowl. Process the sausage until finely chopped and add to the bowl.

Microwave the mixture, uncovered, on HIGH for 6 minutes. Remove from the microwave and stir to break up the eggs. Microwave for 3 minutes, then stir. Microwave for 2 minutes, then stir. Set aside to cool slightly.

Use the Microplane® Adjustable Coarse Grater to grate the cheese; set aside. Use the Chef’s Silicone Basting Brush to brush oil onto the White Large Round Stone.

Separate the rolls into 16 triangles. Arrange the triangles on the stone with the wide ends in the center, slightly overlapping. There should be a 5" (13-cm) opening in the center. The narrow ends of the dough will extend beyond the edge of the stone.

Use the Baker’s Roller® to flatten the wide ends of the dough. Place the egg mixture over the wider sides of the dough in a circle. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the eggs.

Pull the narrow ends of the dough over the filling and tuck the points under the dough to form a ring.

Separate the remaining egg and add ½ tsp (2 mL) of water to the yolk; mix. Use the basting brush to brush the top of the ring with egg wash. Bake for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.

Use the Pizza & Crust Cutter to chop the parsley and sprinkle on top of the ring.

Looking for something new to cook for dinner? I've got you covered....Try this One pot Chicken meal :) Enjoy

ONE-POT CHICKEN & GNOCCHI
Prep 10 min
Cook 20 min
Ready in 30 min

EVEN THE PICKIEST EATERS WILL LOVE THE SOFT-PILLOWY GNOCCHI AND JUICY CHICKEN THIGHS.

INGREDIENTS
2 slices bacon, cut into ½" (1-cm) pieces
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (4 oz./125 g each)
¼ tsp (1 mL) salt
⅛ tsp (0.5 mL) black pepper
1 tbsp (15 mL) Italian Seasoning Mix, divided
3 garlic cloves, pressed
2 cups (500 mL) 2% or whole milk
1 lb. (450 g) potato gnocchi
2 oz. (60 g) Parmesan cheese, finely grated (1 cup/250 mL)
½ cup (125 mL) frozen peas

DIRECTIONS
Heat the Enameled Cast Iron Skillet over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Season the chicken with the salt, pepper, and 2 tsp (10 mL) of the seasoning mix. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook, 5–7 minutes per side, or until the temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium, add the garlic, and cook until fragrant, 10–20 seconds. Add the milk, gnocchi, cheese, bacon, and remaining seasoning mix. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring frequently, until the milk has reduced slightly and started to thicken, about 3 minutes.
Stir in the peas. Add the chicken and cook on medium-low for an additional 3–5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.

Cook's Tips:
We love that this sauce doesn’t use heavy cream. The gnocchi releases starch as it simmers in milk, transforming it into a rich sauce.

Good Evening Friends!! I want to start this New Year off on the Right Foot giving back! Our healthcare workers have been fighting this virus for 9 months, working overtime, understaffed, being away from their families and putting their lives and their families lives at risk everyday to save others! I want to run this "GIVE BACK TO OUR HEALTHCARE WORKERS" AGAIN. I was able to bless a Respiratory Group at a local hospital just last week with these goodies! Let's let them know we are still here for them and appreciate all that they have done during this pandemic!
I will be handing out Ceramic Egg Cookers filled with sweets and recipes to use as a way to say Thank You for all they have done and continue to do! So many times they skip meals, or eat on the run and this tool is great for Hot, Filling, Nutritious, and on the go meals -eggs, omelets, muffins, veggies and one cup cakes! Would you like to help and be a blessing to someone?
Here's how: You can adopt/sponsor a Healthcare worker for just $20.00- I will gift wrap and deliver the sets to local hospitals, Fire Departments, and Nursing Homes to brighten their day! I will also include a note saying it is in honor of you or someone you love, a treat and recipes! Please send me a private message on Facebook or comment below if you'd like to participate. Thank you for being a Blessing to our Healthcare Workers!
