Gooseberry Patch Game-Day Fan Fare Cookbook Giveaway

April 26, 2013

I love the seasons. Football Season. Basketball Season. Soccer Season. Swimming Season. All the seasons. With every sports season comes specific sports food. And Game-Day Fan Fare, the latest book from Gooseberry Patch, is the perfect book for your favorite season.

Yesterday, you got introduced to the Ooey-Gooey Popcorn that I am addicted to now.

I also noticed while flipping through the cookbook that my 3-Cheese Baked Spaghetti is featured in the Mains & Sides chapter.

So, naturally I believe this is one of the best books Gooseberry Patch has ever published. The cookbook is chalk full of tons of recipes I want try. I have made one of the variations of Wings 4-Ways.

I have also made a version of crustless pizza. Chicago style with the sauce on top even!!

Want some more peaks at some great recipes?

On a girls night I had a piece of my gal pap Liz’s Peanut Butter Fudge Pie she made for a recent girl’s night in. Cris over at Goodeness Gracious made the perfect pizza for an early game. Then there are these Pepperoni Roll-Ups that Brandi made and highlighted over on the Country Cook. And looking for a bit more of a sweet treat for game time? Check out these Strawberry-Lemon Shortbread Bars over on a Well-Seasoned Life.

And there are even recipes similar to a few other recipes I already know I love, like S’mores Bars.

Or my black bean salsa

Or guacamole.

Ooey-Gooey Popcorn

April 25, 2013

Raise your hand if you like sweet and salty. Come on, raise them up. It is like yin and yang meet in your mouth. This popcorn, this ooey-gooey popcorn defines addictive food.
Of course if I am going to be unhealthy, I can’t just be a little unhealthy. I have to go extra butter unhealthy popcorn.

And this recipe doesn’t lack for butter. The ooey-gooey goodness has 1/4 cup of butter too. Plus marshmallow. Plus brown sugar. Oh, be still my taste buds.

Melt, stirring constantly until marshmallows are melted and the sauce is nice and smooth.

Pour your popcorn into a large bowl that you will be able to stir the popcorn. Then, pour the ooey-gooey sweetness over top.

People, this is a hot, gooey mess. Do not put your finger under the pouring sauce. Please. It will blister your finger. I may or may not have a blister to prove it.

Expect children to devour it. Expect adults with no self restraint to eat this till their guts hurt. Literally. Holy goodness.

Ooey-Gooey Popcorn

This is sticky and sweet and salt and in no way fits into any weight loss diet. Ooey-Gooey Popcorn will satisfy your sweet and salty cravings though!
