Extra Yummy, But Easy Kettle Popcorn Recipe
I love me some good kettle corn! It's sweet, it's salty -- perfect!! But until recently, I didn't know how easy it is to make homemade kettle corn. I thought I had to either buy pre-made kettle corn or make store-bought kettle corn in the microwave. But over the weekend I made some homemade kettle corn, and my eyes were opened! Now I can make super delicious homemade kettle corn for my family whenever the craving hits -- it's so easy! I've simplified the recipe even more by making the popped corn for my kettle corn in an air popper. (Kettle corn is most often made at home on the stove.) I'm Continue reading...

New Jersey to Vermont Road Trip Part 3 (Stowe and Auto Toll Road)
Last week I shared the second leg of my family's road trip from New Jersey to Vermont. (I shared about our Stowe, Vt., hotel, The Lodge at Spruce Peak, and our day checking out sights like the Beb & Jerry;s factory.) My family had driven up through New York State and stayed in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., one night to break up the drive and visited Burlington, Vt., before heading to Stowe. We woke up to a beautiful sunny morning our second full day in Stowe. I was happy since our first full day in Stowe was rainy. (That day we did the Ben & Jerry's tour and went shopping). My family and I Continue reading...
