Here is out recipe of the week for April 22-29, 2008:
This is from my dear friend, Michelle.
She once said she's not much of a cook, (or something like that, criticizing her cooking skills) but every time she brings food to a party or I eat at her place the food is AWESOME!
With that in mind, I urge you to try her recipe for Caramel Popcorn. I'll be making it in a few weeks for game night. Yes, I'll be making a double batch because I know it won't last very long.
