Marmite Popcorn
I happen to love snacks. In fact, if I could, I would eat snacks instead of real meals, but that would send the wrong message to my (now adult) children. One of my favorite snacks is from the UK called Twiglets. It's definitely an acquired taste. It's marmite covered twigs. Doesn't that sound appealing?! Since they are difficult to find here and rather expensive, this Marmite Popcorn fits the bill.

Baked Chicken Wings 2 Ways
Chicken Wings 2 Ways is a great appetizer for any party. Traditional chicken wings are pretty spicy. I added a non-spicy version. You can divide the recipe in half and make both to satisfy everyone. The key to crispy chicken wings is boiling them first. These seem counter-intuitive, but it works. Make sure you pat them dry before roasting. Moisture is the enemy of crispiness!

Cheese Snackles
Cheese Snackles - My brother-in-law Russell came last week and brought us a bag of these fabulous cheese crackers. They were so good, I asked him to get the recipe from his friend, Rose-Marie, who is constantly asked to bring them to social gatherings. She got the recipe from her friend Ann who died at age 50 in 1989, so she is glad to have her friend remembered. Thank you Rose-Marie!
