  • Pumpkin Spiced Kettle Corn

    Pumpkin Spiced Kettle Corn

    Making your own popcorn, let alone kettle corn, is truly such an empowering skill to possess. A delicious snack anytime! Kettle corn is a widely loved dessert for satisfying the sweet, salty, and crunchy craving. Popcorn has a neutral flavor making it a perfect for pumpkin spice. You can practically add any spice to popcorn and have it taste good. We filmed and tested 4 desserts to see which could handle pumpkin spice best. Tune into the video below to see what we determined!

    We made this as a part of a test of four pumpkin spice desserts.

    To see how they stack up, read on here:

    You can see the other three pumpkin spice recipes here:

    Don’t get it mistaken. Kettle corn is not caramel corn. Kettle corn is the quick caramel corn if anything related. Caramel corn involves making a rich caramel sauce, then immediately tossing cooked popcorn with the hot caramel, tossing and spinning until each piece of popcorn is coated. A much more patient to do without the proper utensils. Kettle corn is all about melting sugar around the kernel of popcorn.

    You start kettle corn like you would making any homemade popcorn, with some oil in a pot over high heat. The preheating process is important here to make sure as soon as the kernels hit the oil, they start cooking and supercharging. The way to check this process is adding one or two kernels to the hot oil and waiting for them to pop. Once they pop, it’s time to add in the rest of our kernels. We have about 30 seconds before they start to pop, so first you stir the kernels around to coat them all evenly in oil and start to agitate the kernel. Right before you shut the lid, add the sugar and spices.

    Making homemade popcorn is very rewarding, but do take caution as you are working with very hot oil. When making popcorn, be sure to have a hand ready to adjust the heat, have a bowl ready to dump the popcorn, and have proper heat handling gloves.

    When you add the sugar and spices into the popcorn, the sugar will start to melt around the kernels. This is hot sticky sugar so get those hot mitts ready. Using both hands, hold the lid with your thumbs and the handles with your other fingers and shake shake shake Senora. Be sure to shake over the heat to prevent burning. It will be easier to mix as the majority of the kernels pop acting as it’s own stirring mechanism by the sheer force of each pop. Turn your heat to low as the final kernels pop and turn off the heat.

    Immediately dump the hot popcorn carefully in the bowl, then use a wooden spoon to break up the clusters. Season the popcorn with salt at this point so it will stick. Don’t test the popcorn until it has cooled down at least two minutes.

  • Philly Cheesesteak

    Philly Cheesesteak

    When the meat is done use a slotted spoon to scoop it out onto each bottom bun. Place a slice of provolone cheese on the top bun. Broil for a few more minutes until cheese is melted.

    Place the top bun with the cheese on top of the bottom bun with the philly cheesesteak meat. Eat warm!

    Notes

    Nutrition information is for ⅙ of the meat, one slice of provolone cheese, and one hamburger bun.If you are using slider buns or feeding lots of little kids then this recipe easily serves 8 sloppy joes. I highly recommend toasting the buns! If you don’t have the time or just don’t want to, simply serve the sloppy joe meat in a hamburger bun and eat it as is. Still yummy!I know I will get comments saying that these are not real, true, or authentic Philly Cheesesteaks. Yes, I know. They are meant to be a fast, family-friendly, budget-friendly version of the original.

  • Blueberry Flax Muffins with Oat Bran and Lemon Zest

    Blueberry Flax Muffins with Oat Bran and Lemon Zest

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 cups (180 g) oat bran
    • 1/2 cup (60 g) flaxseed meal
    • 1/2 cup (60 g) whole wheat flour (or gluten-free flour, if preferred)
    • 1/4 cup (50 g) coconut sugar or another diabetic-friendly sweetener
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • Zest of 1 lemon
    • 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened applesauce or Greek yogurt
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup (120 ml) almond milk (or any milk of choice)
    • 1 cup fresh blueberries (plus a few extra for topping)
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for extra lemon flavor)

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Preheat the Oven

    Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing the cups to prevent sticking. This step ensures that your muffins bake evenly and release easily from the tin.

    2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the following dry ingredients:

    •  Oat bran
    • Flaxseed meal
    • Whole wheat flour
    • Coconut sugar
    • Baking powder
    • Baking soda
    • Salt
    • Ground cinnamon
    • Lemon zest

    The combination of oat bran and flaxseed meal provides a great source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, while the lemon zest adds a refreshing burst of citrus flavor that complements the blueberries.

    3. Prepare the Wet Ingredients

    In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Then, mix in the unsweetened applesauce (or Greek yogurt), vanilla extract, and almond milk. If you prefer a stronger lemon flavor, add the lemon juice at this stage. The applesauce or Greek yogurt provides moisture and ensures the muffins remain tender and fluffy.

    4. Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be sure to stir gently to avoid overmixing, as overworking the batter can result in denser muffins. The batter should be just combined with some lumps remaining—this ensures a light texture in the final product.

    Next, gently fold in the fresh blueberries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. Reserve a few extra blueberries for topping the muffins later.

    5. Fill the Muffin Tin

    Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. This gives the muffins enough room to rise and develop a nice dome. Top each muffin with a few extra blueberries for an eye-catching presentation and an extra burst of flavor.

    6. Bake

    Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Baking times may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the muffins after the 18-minute mark.

    Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents them from becoming soggy on the bottom while cooling.

    7. Serve and Store

    These Blueberry Flax Muffins with Oat Bran and Lemon Zest can be enjoyed fresh out of the oven or stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They are perfect with a morning coffee or as a healthy snack on the go. For longer storage, freeze the muffins for up to 2 months. To enjoy later, simply reheat in the microwave for a warm, fresh-from-the-oven experience.

    Tips for Success

    • Topping Ideas: For added crunch, sprinkle a bit of ground flaxseeds or a few oats on top of each muffin before baking. This enhances both texture and appearance.
    • Make It Gluten-Free: For those with gluten sensitivity, substitute the whole wheat flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure that the other ingredients, such as oat bran, are certified gluten-free if necessary.
    • Diabetic-Friendly Sweeteners: While coconut sugar provides a subtle caramel flavor and lower glycemic index than regular sugar, you can use other sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit sweetener, or erythritol for even lower sugar content.

    Low Carb Firecracker Chicken Stir Fry
    Servings: 4 servings

    Ingredients

    • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
      2 tablespoons avocado oil (or any high-heat oil)
      1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
      1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
      1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
      1 cup snap peas
      3 cloves garlic, minced
      1 tablespoon ginger, minced

    1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
    2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
    1 tablespoon rice vinegar
    1 tablespoon low-carb sweetener (like monk fruit or erythritol)
    2 green onions, chopped
    Sesame seeds, for garnish
    Directions
    1. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
    2. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
    3. In the same pan, add the bell peppers, zucchini, and snap peas. Stir-fry the veggies until they are tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
    4. Add the garlic and ginger to the vegetables and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
    5. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, and low-carb sweetener.
    6. Return the chicken to the pan and pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
    7. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped green onions.
    8. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds.
    Variations & Tips
    For a milder version, reduce the amount of sriracha or substitute with a sweet chili sauce. You can easily swap the chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different source of protein. Feel free to mix up the vegetables based on what’s in season or available in your fridge—broccoli, carrots, and mushrooms all make excellent additions. For an added nutty crunch, sprinkle some chopped peanuts or cashews on top.

  • Homemade Ice Cream in 10 Minutes

    Homemade Ice Cream in 10 Minutes

    Ingredients:

    450 ml milk
    125g sugar
    3 eggs
    Vanillin (vanilla flavor)

    Directions:

    Heat the Milk: Pour 450 ml of milk into a saucepan. Heat the milk over medium heat until bubbles begin to form around the edges, but do not bring it to a boil.

    Prepare the Eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the 3 eggs. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and whisk until well combined.

    Cool the Mixture: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool down. Once cooled, stir in the remaining 125g of sugar until fully dissolved.

    Beat Out the Bubbles: Use a whisk or hand mixer to beat out any bubbles in the mixture.

    Freeze the Ice Cream: Pour the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

    Decorate and Serve: Once the ice cream is ready, you can grate cookies for decoration and drizzle melted chocolate over the top for an extra touch of indulgence.

    Description

    A creamy, low-fat WW Chicken Mushroom & Spinach Lasagna that’s perfect for weight loss, meal prep, and anyone following a Weight Watchers plan.

    Ingredients

    Instructions

    Preheat Your Oven:

    1. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready when the lasagna goes in.

    Sauté the Vegetables:

    1. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic, cooking until soft and translucent. Stir in the mushrooms, dried basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and a bit of salt. Cook until the mushrooms soften and release their juices, about 5 minutes.

    Add Spinach and Chicken:

    1. Add the fresh spinach, cooking until wilted. Stir in the shredded chicken and mix well. Set this aside.

    Prepare the Creamy Sauce:

    1. In a small bowl, create a slurry by whisking flour with a bit of chicken stock until smooth. In a saucepan, combine the remaining chicken stock, milk, nutmeg, and a little salt. Bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add the slurry and whisk constantly until the sauce thickens, about 5-8 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and remove from heat.

    Assemble Your Lasagna:

    1. Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce at the bottom of a 10×10 baking dish. Layer with 2 lasagna noodles, chicken-spinach mixture, sauce, and a bit of mozzarella. Repeat until you have 3-4 layers, ending with a generous amount of sauce and cheese on top.

    Bake:

    1. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes. If you want a golden-brown top, broil for 2-3 minutes.

    Serve:

    1. Let the WW chicken and vegetable lasagna stand for 15-20 minutes before cutting and serving.
