How To Make Popcorn Balls

October 26, 2010 (Updated March 20, 2014) by Drew Kime

Anyone who knows me knows that I don't like corn syrup. I try to avoid it in anything I buy, which is surprisingly hard to do if you buy anything other than raw fruits and vegetables and unprocessed meat. Yes, we still buy some prepared foods, but less and less all the time. Jenn complains that I've ruined her. She doesn't even like things any more that she used to love. She'd rather have something good than something quick. (Score.) But then there's candy. I know it's not good for us, and … [Read more...]

Dinner, Fowl Dutch Oven, recipe card, Undieting

This is a variation on the potted chicken with tomatoes that I did for the Aetna Healthy Food Fight. Actually, I should call the tomato recipe the variation, since other versions are much more like this one. For instance Susan at "Cooking to Save" has this version, that starts out almost exactly like mine. Then there's this one at DVO, which uses the whole chicken like in my previous version.

I love a campfires. I love cooking things over a campfire. I might even eat one toasted marshmallow. But not a s'more. No, not because marshmallows are little puffs of artificial junk. (Which they are.) They're just too messy. Seriously, look at my picture on the right side of the blog. I have facial hair. Do you have any idea how annoying it is to spend a night with melted marshmallow goo all around your mouth. Ecch. But then, in one of the old cookbooks my wife found, there was this … [Read more...]

A couple of weeks ago I ran a video showing how to make guacamole. I just found these pictures that I forgot I took, and thought I should take the opportunity to list the ingredients for the recipe. … [Read more...]

How To Make Black Bean and Corn Salsa

Side Mexican, recipe card, Undieting

Be careful making this, unless it looks like something you're going to want to keep doing over and over. Because as soon as you share it with friends, they're going to start asking you to bring it to every party you go to. This happened when I made the bruschetta pizza a couple of years ago. I made it about four or five times before the summer was over. Same with this black bean and corn salsa. … [Read more...]
