Dear reader

To my readers here at life less hurried. I am sorry for my absence.



  

I had to stop writing to take time for me and the things of most importance.  Life became a bit more hurried and in crisis. I could not in good conscious write here about living in a way that was not so in my own life.  Work, family, and my health became the main focus, therefore the blog went on the back burner for a while.  

I am proud to say that my life is not in crisis mode anymore, and we are cooking full force. The blog is off the back burner.  I look forward to getting back to blogging and writing more. There are many recipes to enjoy and discoveries to be shared with you. 

Blessings to you all,
Happy Momma

   

Cut your grocery bill.

Feeding a family on a budget can be such a challenge. It seems that lately at our house the budget is shrinking as the cost of food and other supplies are rising at a rapid rate, but never fear there is hope.  There light at the end of the tunnel.

 

 

Money saving mom, Crystal Paine has partnered up with some incredible people to bring you Grocery University.  I have been a follower of Crystal and her blog  for about 5 years. It began as I embarked upon learning how to coupon and how to save money. During the process I stumbled upon her blog and have not looked back. I have learned many a skill from her writings. She is a true inspiration.


The information that she and her associates share should prove itself invaluable.  They have spent many years learning how to win at the "grocery game"  They are ready and willing to share and teach others the skills that they have spent a lifetime learning by trial and error.  I am grateful for those who have learned and are willing to help me so that I don't have to learn by trial and error. I love having someone that will help me see and avoid the most common traps and pitfalls.

GOOD NEWS! My popcorn book is available

I did it! I got finished with my popcorn cookbook before the end of May.
 

 

It has been an incredible journey as I have continued with my two blogs, and taking care of my family. Thank you for all your continued support here at life less hurried.

 

 

How do you enjoy popcorn? Do you eat your popcorn simple and plain with just a hint of salt, or do you do enjoy it fancy and sweet; dipped in chocolate, and drizzled with caramel? Whether you like your popcorn savory, sweet, or a little of  both---This cookbook is for you.

For the love of popcorn

 

A teaser from my newest cookbook that will be coming out sometime in May.

What is it about Popcorn that makes it so appealing? Is it the smell wafting through the air beckoning us to have a handful? Is it the fun of watching popcorn as it grows to be over thirty times its original size?  Maybe it is the popping sound as it explodes into something wonderful?  Could it be the crunchy, yet somewhat creamy texture of popcorn?  Is it the pop-able shareable fun?  What is it that has us in love with this simple stuff called popcorn?

 

Cajun spiced popcorn 

4 quarts popped corn

4 Tablespoons melted butter

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1/2 teaspoon hot sauce

 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

Heat the butter with the spices for about a minute just until it becomes fragrant. You can do this in the microwave if desired

Pour the hot spiced butter over the popcorn and toss to coat.

 P.S. If you don't have a kindle I have included links to some of the most popular models. My kids and I have loved the kindle that hubby bought for us last year. I enjoy being able to download and read books at the touch of a button. It has been worth the investment, and a blessing for our family. The kids enjoy the learning apps and reading on it. .
