Dee, this is for you. One of our traditional, Halloween snacks that still shows up now and again.
2 Cups Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup White corn syrup
1 Cup butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon soda
16 Cups Popcorn
Pop 16 cups of popcorn, place in a large roasting pan.
Combine the Brown Sugar, Corn Syrup, Butter and Salt in a medium pan and bring to a boil.
Boil vigorously for 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and add the 1/2 teaspoon of soda to the caramel sauce, stir vigorously, don't be surprised when the caramel sauce expands to twice its original size.
Once the soda has been stirred in, pour the caramel sauce over the popcorn, stirring to coat.
Bake the popcorn in a 200 degree oven for 1 hour, stirring popcorn every 15 minutes.
Place the popcorn on wax paper to cool, breaking up large pieces as needed.
Serve at your kids party.

This is a place to keep all the wonderful recipes that keep our family going. Here's hoping you like just a couple of them.
Cookbooks Galore
There are so many choices out there for cookbooks that it is very overwhelming. Do you want to cook fat free, sugar free, home cooking, Italian style, Crockpot cooking, campfire cooking, Grilling, etc, the list could literally fill a library. The recipes at "B's Family Recipes" are a compilation of the recipes that make my family happy.
I don't like to cook the same thing on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and the very next week, do it all over again. I also don't like to buy my food prepared in a box, there's just too much salt and chemicals in those choices.
I DO like to make the dishes that make myself and my family happy. It is an expression of my love for them, which is what good cooking should be about. Even a restaurant chef should cook because it makes him happy to share his skills with other people.
So, as you travel through the internet looking for that recipe that makes your life more fulfilled, please keep in mind that this is just another tool to construct a new and better life. Enjoy the simple things; the taste of mozarella cheese combined with tomatoes and basil, the smell of fresh rosemary, the tang of a crisp juicy apple, the fuzz on the season's first peach, the scent of banana bread as it bakes in the oven, etc......

Hi Tiki Warrior,
How was the Pasta Fagioli soup? Did you get a chance to try it? I've got a recipe for home made spaghetti sauce that I'm going to post soon. It's great to make a large batch and freeze it in smaller portions. This way you have sauce for spur of the moment meals. I'm all about planning meals ahead of time. As a working mom, it's the only way to go.
