Burnt popcorn, yummy!!!

What do you do when you burn something and the whole house smells like burnt popcorn? I have no idea, I had a random craving and I decided to make tater tots. I got distracted and completely forgot about them until I smelled them burning, now my whole downstairs smells like burnt popcorn, it is surprising how similar the two smell when they are burnt. I know some people might like this smell but I can' stand it. The kitchen got a little smoky and the smell won't go away, I opened the door to let some air out then I lit a candle, I tried air freshener but I think it all just went out the door and it is raining so I can't leave the door open for too long. The worst part is I really wanted to eat the tater tots and now I can't , I thought there would be at least one or two that I could salvage but they are all going into the garbage. I hope I can find a cure for the burnt popcorn smell soon otherwise I am going to have to clean every surface of the house in order to get rid of the smell and I really don't want to do that. Wish me luck!

Snack Time

This is my take on an apple pie without the crust. Now that the summer is coming closer we are all trying to get in shape so we can be ready to hit the beach. Well this recipe for my "apple pie" will let you have all the flavors you love without feeling the guilt of eating too much fat. I take an apple cut it into wedges (without the core) and throw it into a bowl. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter and toss in a little bit of cinnamon, nutmeg, and granulated sugar (about 2 tbsp. each.) Mix all of the ingredients together and add 1/4 of a cup of raisins. After all of the ingredients are combined put all of the apples in a baking pan and bake them off at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Once they come out of the oven top off the apples with a little bit of vanilla frozen yogurt or a drizzle of honey. This recipe will have all of the flavors of an apple pie without the heavy crust. Try it at home and I guarantee you will fall in love with it, and if for some reason you don't at least it will make the house smell delicious. Either way this recipe will satisfy your sense of taste or smell. Enjoy!
