With Valentine's Day right around the corner, considering making some easy Valentine's snacks that the little ones can bring to school? Whether you are preparing them for your own child's lunch or as a special treat for the class, here are some snacks that are easy to transport and easy for the little ones to devour once they dig in!

Marshmallow-Popcorn Hearts are a simple alternative to popcorn balls. With this recipe, you can skip the Karo syrup and just melt some marshmallows instead! This quick and easy recipe works just like Rice Krispie bars, only with popcorn instead!

Popcorn Tin

Here's what you need to get started:

Easy Valentine Treats to Take to School

o 10 cups popped popcorn
o 3 tablespoons margarine or butter
o 1 10-ounce package regular marshmallows
o Red food coloring
o Red colored sugar

Directions

o Put the popped corn (minus the unpopped kernels) into a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan and keep it warm in your 300 degree oven.
o Melt the butter/margarine and marshmallows in a large kettle or in the microwave. (Microwave: 1 ½ to 2 minutes, stirring once) Stir the mixture until it is smooth, no lumps, and then add the red food coloring.
o Stir in the popped popcorn- about half at a time.
o Wait 10 minutes or so until it is cool enough to handle.
o Grease individual heart shaped pans with butter.
o Press the popcorn mixture into the greased pans.
o Cool the popcorn hearts. Remove from pans. Sprinkle each with red colored sugar.
o Wrap each individually in plastic wrap- pink or red finishes it off nicely.
o Makes 9 hearts.

This one is a little messy, but for an extra-special treat, exceptions can be made to almost any rule. Take along a pre-packaged wet napkin in a zippered plastic bag to assist in quick clean-up.

Candy Apple or Caramel Apple Valentines

1 bag of caramels
1 pack of craft sticks (like popsicle sticks)
1 bag of apples or your choice
wax paper
cake decorating tool
Flavored icing

Melt the caramels or hard candy according to the package directions. Insert a craft stick into one end of each apple. Dip the apple into the melted caramel, covering it completely. Lift the apple and let it drip for a few seconds and then set it on the wax paper until completely set- about two hours) Use your cake decorating tool (or a plastic bag with a hole in the corner and a decorating tip) to write a nice message on each apple. Wrap in plastic wrap and secure the wrap at the top of the apple with a rubber band, leaving the stick exposed as a handle.

Finally, you can mix up these peppermint stars from a quick meringue batter. They make a tasty little treat that travels well in a lunch.

Peppermint Stars
Makes: 45 cookies
Prep: 30 minutes
Bake: 15 minutes

Ingredients
o 2 egg whites
o 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
o 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
o 1/2 cup sugar
o 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
o Red food coloring (optional)

Directions

1. Place egg whites in a medium mixing bowl; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2. Line two large cookie sheets with brown paper or foil; set aside.
3. Add vanilla and cream of tartar to egg whites. Beat with an electric mixer on medium to high speed until soft peaks form (tips curl). Gradually add sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form (tips stand straight) and sugar dissolves. Quickly beat in peppermint extract. Tint pink with several drops of red food coloring, if desired.
4. Using a pastry tube with a large star decorating tip, pipe cookies onto prepared cookie sheets (form cookies about 1-1/2 inches in diameter). Bake in a 300 degree F oven for 15 minutes. Turn off oven and let cookies dry in oven with door closed about 30 minutes. Remove from cookie sheets. Cover and store in a dry place. Makes 45 cookies.

Easy Meal Ideas For Side Dishes

Sometimes coming up with the main dish for meals is the easy part but what to have with it can be the hard question. I usually serve vegetables as my side dish and I'm always trying to come up with new ideas. Here are a few of our favorites.

Potatoes. Try twice baked potatoes adding milk, shredded cheese and ranch dressing. For kids using small potatoes makes these more fun. Another potato dish is to saute hash brown potatoes, either chopped yourself or using frozen hash browns, with onion and season with seasoning salt. Green peppers. Stuffed peppers with rice either with green peppers or using red, yellow, orange or green for fun. Zucchini. Chop zucchini in strips and place on a sheet of tin foil. Sprinkle with butter. Then salt and pepper. You can add other cut vegetables as well. Wrap up and bake in the oven 30 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Stuffed Zucchini is another great option. Carrots. Serve carrots cut in strips with a dip, shredded in a carrot salad or glaze carrots with a little sugar and butter. Cauliflower. Steam and serve with a cheese sauce or bake tossed with garlic butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Broccoli. Stir broccoli florets with a Tablespoon of oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in a 500 degree oven 10-12 minutes stirring once. Create a broccoli salad with bacon pieces and sunflower seeds or serve raw with a dip.

Popcorn Tin

Serving a side of corn, green beans or tossed salad is always great also. These are easy meal ideas for side dishes that hopefully will fight the mealtime boredom.

Selecting Ham For This Baking Ham Technique

Basically ham is just the hind leg of the pig. It's the processing that takes it from pigs hind leg to ham. However, there are so many processing methods that a trip to the grocery can be confusing.

For our purpose we want a ham that not only tastes great but also is easy to serve.

Check the labels in the grocery. They will show the water content. The lower the water content the better tasting the ham will be.

A ham labeled as "ham in natural juices" is best.

Stay away from hams labeled "Ham - water added" because they have 12 to 15 percent water added. Even worse is "Ham and Water Product" which can have as much as 35 percent water added.

Bone in or boneless? Well boneless would certainly be easier to serve but bone in just tastes better. Boneless requires more processing and it seems the more processing the worse it gets!

A whole ham tends to be massive-weighing about 15 pounds. So, for manageability, they are increasingly cut in half and sold in two pieces, the butt and the shank.

Whole hams have a difficult to carve around bone structure. That difficult structure is in the butt half. The shank half has only one bone to navigate. And if it's spiral sliced so much the better.

Whether half or whole, though, the differences in the best supermarket hams come down to what bones, if any, have been removed and how much water, if any, has been added.

So we have a trade off. A bone in, spiral sliced, fully cooked shank half ham in natural juices is my choice.

Baking Ham - How To Cook A Ham - Cooking Time For a Ham

Since hams from the grocery are already fully cooked our objective in baking for our guests is just to get the it up to serving temperature as gently as possible.

This technique for how to cook a ham greatly reduces the cooking time for a ham.

Gently raising the temperature to 115 degrees F. internally keeps the ham from drying out. When it is removed from the oven residual cooking will bring the temperature to between 125 and 130, which is perfect serving temperature.

So we're going to start that process with raising the temperature before it's even placed in the oven!

Leave the inner plastic or foil covering intact and place the ham in large container and cover with hot tap water. Allow it to sit in the water for 45 minutes and then drain. Cover it again with hot tap water and set aside for another 45 minutes.

Preheating it in this fashion means there is less potential for it drying out in the oven.

Another trick in this baking ham technique is to bake it in an oven bag.

The Oven Bag provides a more even cooking method allowing the heat to circulate within the bag shortening the baking time.

Adjust the oven rack to its lowest position and pre-heat your oven to 250 degrees. Unwrap the ham and remove and discard the plastic disk covering the bone.

Place it in the oven bag. Gather the top of bag tightly so the bag fits snugly around the ham. Tie the bag and trim excess plastic. Set the ham cut-side down in large roasting pan and cut 4 slits in top of the oven bag.

Bake until the center registers 100 degrees on and instant-read thermometer. This will take about 10 minutes per pound which is really a quick cooking time for a ham.

Remove it from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees.

Cut open the oven bag and roll back the sides to expose the ham.

Brush it with one-third of the glaze of your choice and return it to the oven until the glaze becomes sticky, about 10 minutes.

Remove it from the oven and transfer it to a cutting board. Brush the entire surface with another third of the glaze.

Let it rest, loosely tented with foil, for 15 minutes.

While it rests heat the remaining third of the glaze with 4 to 6 tablespoons of the juices from the bag until it forms a thick but fluid sauce.

Carve, serve and pass the sauce at table.

Ham Glaze Recipes

This is the best technique I know of for how to cook a ham but what about glazes?

Glazes not only make your holiday ham look gorgeous but they also add additional flavor.

Glazes are usually sweet and are anything from just a brushing the baking ham with maple syrup to more complex mixtures made from sugars and seasonings.

A glaze should only be added toward the end of cooking time for a ham so they don't burn.

This baking ham technique will work with any glaze recipe that you and your family like. Give the technique a try the next time you are thinking of baking ham.

Baking Ham - How to Cook a Ham That Will Wow Your Guests

Take a look at some of the ham glaze recipes I have at http://www.pork-recipes-online.com. They are in the Ham Recipes section. I especially like the honey baked ham glaze. It's very close to the store bought honey glazed hams that cost a fortune.

Breakfast on the Grill

Summer time mornings are the best! The air is clear, clean and warm. Why not get out of the kitchen and cook breakfast outside on the grill? Food always seems to taste better when made on the grill and breakfast is no exception. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Traditional bacon/sausage and eggs and toast:

Popcorn Tin

Use the griddle plate on the grill. One with ridges that allows the grease to flow away and collect away from the food is best. Preheat the grill and cook your bacon/sausage and eggs just as you do on the stove. Toss a slice or two of buttered bread on the griddle at the last moment and enjoy your in house breakfast cooked outdoors. Because there is grease involved watch to make sure there are no fire flareups and remove grease as necessary.

Next is something a little more fun:

Place a thin ham slices in muffin tins, and top with a mixture of beaten eggs, salt, pepper, 1/4 cup milk, chopped onions and peppers. Top with shredded cheese. Place muffin tin in aluminum pan that has about 1/4 cup of water in the bottom. Cover the pan with foil and cook on low heat until egg is set. Approximately 45 minutes.

How about some BBQ fruit to get you energized for a morning walk:

Grilling fruit is very easy to prepare but there are a few things you should do prior to placing it on the grill. First make sure your grill is clean. You do not want the left over burnt bits of last night's dinner to be mixed with the fresh fruit you will be grilling. Firmer fruits like, pineapples, pears, apples and even bananas work best. They should be firm, fresh and solid so they will hold together will grilling. Leave the peels intact as it will also help hold the fruit together. Slice the fruit into large slices and cut the bananas in half lengthwise. After cutting the fruit soak it in water so that it will absorb as much liquid as possible and stay juicy will grilling. Completely cover the fruit in cold water and add 1 teaspoon of pure lemon juice to the water to help the fruit retain its natural color. Let the fruit soak for 30 minutes adding ice as needed to keep the water cold. Adding spices such as cinnamon to the water gives the fruit a touch of spice flavoring.

Drain the fruit and coat lightly with a mild oil or melted butter to keep it from sticking to the grates. You can also add spices such as ginger, nutmeg, allspice or cloves to the melted butter prior to coating the fruit to spice it up some more. Grill the fruit, on a preheated grill, on medium heat. Grill the fruit till heated through and it has the look of lightly grilled food. Remove from heat and serve warm.

Now that you know how easy it is to make breakfast on the grill. Get out the grill and start your day outside with a meal in the fresh morning air.

How To Decorate A Christmas Tree

This article is a crash course in how to decorate a christmas tree. Your first step is to choose either a natural or artificial tree. Keep in mind that a natural evergreen tree only comes in one color - green. Artificial trees however are now sold in practically every color of the rainbow. Just remember, whatever color you choose will become your canvas for adding more color in the form of garlands, tinsel and decorations.

Your second step is deciding which color schemes go best with what color of tree. Green Christmas trees, both natural and artificial, look best with primary colors such as green, blue and red. White christmas trees look best with a red theme, pink theme, a gold theme or a silver theme or any combination of the above. Blue Christmas trees look best with gold or silver decorations. Red Christmas trees look great with green or pink decorations.

Popcorn Tin

The third step in this course about how to decorate a christmas tree is about lighting. If you are going to buy a natural tree you will need to buy a strand of bulbs or diodes. Traditional strands of christmas bulbs come in a variety of decorative shapes and sizes including the vintage egg shape, tiny twinkling lights and rope lights. However if you buy an artificial tree you may be able to get one that is prelit. The prettiest prelit christmas trees boast fiber optic needles that give the tree a glow of its own. Especially gorgeous are the white christmas trees that boast fiber optics at their tips. These trees remind many people of angel feathers.

How To Decorate A Christmas Tree

The fourth step is investigating the types of decorations that are available to you. The most basic is the garland. A garland is simply any kind of strand of objects that can be used to circle the tree. You can make a garland yourself out of cooked popcorn, holly berries or candy. You can also use a long length of ribbon and attach bows to it. Of course there are all types of garlands available commercially on the market. Most popular are the garlands made of furry bunches of white or gold tinsel. Red and green tinsel garlands can look especially nice on white christmas trees.

If you are traditionally minded you might want to consider decorating your tree with glass christmas balls. These are either hand blown or created in a factory. Many of them are painted and decorated with glitter. You can buy these as globes, flutes, tubes and also in the shape of musical instruments, angels and other Christmas themes. However if you have small children, you might want to opt for the plastic versions of these decorative balls as they don't shatter if they fall off the tree.

An important tip to remember when decorating trees with glass balls is to place the larger ornaments at the bottom of the tree and the smaller ones at the top. This helps keep the total effect of the tree in a pleasing proportion to the decorations.

Of course, christmas decorations don't have to be expensive. You can make your own out of paper that is cut into the shape of snowflakes and other xmas themes. Candies (especially the candy cane), apples, oranges and cookies (especially gingerbread cookies) can also be used as xmas decorations. Red christmas trees look especially good decorated with white shortbread cookies decorated with glitter. White christmas trees look great decorated with home made presents made from tiny boxes wrapped in shiny foil.

Another decoration to consider is tinsel. Strands of tinsel can be hung from the branches to simulate icicles. One tip when hanging tinsel is to hang it in clumps from the edges of the branches. Hanging single or just a couple of strands all over the tree makes it look messy.

The fifth step when it comes to decorating a christmas tree is to choose some kind of tree topper. Commercially you can buy tree-toppers in just about every Christmas motif imaginable including angels, snowmen, teddy bears and of course, the Christmas star. You can buy christmas tree toppers that glow with fiber optic diodes that twirl, play tinkly music and blink on and off. However it is not hard to make your own christmas tree topper. Perhaps the simplest version is a cardboard star that is wrapped in tin foil. Sometimes the home made decorations and tree toppers have more sentimental value than the store bought ones.

The sixth step in this crash course on how to decorate a christmas tree is to make sure you disguise the base of the tree with some kind of Christmas tree skirt. This is simply a mat that is draped around the base and on the floor. It can be made out of shiny or velvet fabric or you can buy commercially made ones that feature xmas motifs in stores and online. Some tree skirts can be quite ornate, decorated with sequins and embroidery. However their original function was to catch the candle drippings from candles on the tree and catch any dropping needles from natural christmas trees.

Another interesting addition, especially if you are a Christian is to place a small nativity scene beneath the Christmas tree on the mat. You can buy Christmas nativity scenes made of wood, metal or plastic. Also popular is a toy train set that runs in a circle around the Christmas tree.

A seventh and final consideration when it comes to how to decorate your christmas tree is a practice called flocking. Flocking is fluffy white stuff, kind of like silly string that is sprayed all over the tree to simulate snow. This gives just about any tree a real 50's or country style feel and it is very unique to tree decorating traditions in the United States and Canada. However it is not recommended for artificial white christmas trees as the effect would be a little bit of overkill.

What Is Tri Ply Cookware?

Tri Ply displays one of the worlds most popular and functional cookware concepts. Tri Ply is basically two or three different metals that are laminated or bonded together to obtain the advantages of the two metals in one piece of cookware.

The metals most often used to create this high quality cookware are stainless steel, aluminum and copper. This type of cookware is often more expensive but is very durable and conducts heat faster and more evenly. The two main types are with just a base or disc inserted in the bottom and on your top quality cookware the inside layer goes up the side as well as at the base.

Popcorn Tin

The most popular type of tri ply is stainless steel with aluminum. This type has an aluminum core sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel. The construction of this type of cookware starts in the raw material stage, with sheets and blanks. The aluminum is laminated between two sheets of stainless steel and then molded into the desired shape.The highest quality of this type is when 18/10 stainless steel is used to cover the aluminum core with 18/8 and 18/0 being of slightly lesser quality due to the different amount of nickel and chromium used to make the stainless steel. This type of cookware, because of how it is constructed is expensive but worth the money since it lasts so long. It is great for all types of cooking and most brands can go from the stove top to the oven.

What Is Tri Ply Cookware?

One thing to keep in mind when buying this type of cookware is that you can get the same high quality product without having to spend your life savings. There are quality cookware companies out there that can give you the same great product, made with the same materials as the top brands. Just be sure that you read up on the materials used and how it is made. The big companies know they are popular and will charge you more for their name so be careful.

Another type of tri ply cookware is made with copper, aluminum and stainless steel. It starts the same way as the stainless steel/aluminum kind but has copper laminated on the outside instead of stainless steel. It has three layers with copper on the outside, aluminum in the middle and a stainless steel interior. Copper is used for it's conductivity as well as the aluminum since stainless steel alone is not a good conductor of heat. The process of making this type of cookware is also expensive, a little more so than the stainless steel and aluminum type. It is better for the stove top because of the insulation properties of the copper. Copper does react with food and will discolor it and can even be toxic with some foods which is why most copper cookware is lined with tin, nickel or stainless steel. Despite this fact it is still a top quality product. Having copper cookware will also make a statement in your kitchen with it's classy look and mirrored finish.

As with all cookware products, as stated earlier, you want to do a little homework. Sometimes the big name brands are not the best buy for the money. You can look at what they offer for the price and compare. With a little knowledge you will most likely find a quality cookware set for about 30 to 50 percent cheaper than the big guys without compromising on quality.

What Is Tri Ply Cookware?

I have been cooking professionally for over 20 years and have acquired a vast amount of knowledge on cooking styles and cookware. I have worked with some of the most innovative chefs and would now like to pass on my knowledge of cooking and supply a lot of great information to you. Since I have worked with all kinds of cookware and cooking equipment I believe my knowledge will be very beneficial, especially to the home cook. I have created a blog with lots of helpful tips, cookware information and recipes. I have also created a website with top quality cookware and accessories. you can find it at www.onestopcook.com

A Guide to Celebrating the 10th Wedding Anniversary

Traditionally, wedding anniversaries under the 20 year mark are usually acknowledged only by the couple themselves, however, today it's not unusual for gatherings and celebrations to take place as early as the fifth year. The tenth year of marriage marks the first full decade of life spent together, and many couples are choosing to mark the occasion with an anniversary party, while others prefer to acknowledge the day with their own private celebration. Either way, ten years of marriage is indeed something special to celebrate!

Celebrating Your 10th Anniversary Together

Popcorn Tin

The actual time of year when your anniversary occurs will have a lot to do with your plans, as it's certainly much easier to plan a picnic or outdoor adventure in warmer weather, unless, of course, you're planning to celebrate skiing down a mountain or doing some other type of winter fun.

For a quiet, romantic night at home or away in a cozy cabin, first do a bit of research online to find out what the best movies were the year you got married, then rent a few, pop some popcorn, snuggle up and enjoy the evening. Likewise, you could either make your own or purchase a CD compilation of the top songs from the year and dance the night away together.

Since daffodils are the flowers associated with this anniversary, plan a completely daffodil-themed day, which won't be difficult to do as a quick search online offers countless choices for gifts, party supplies, trinkets, jewelry, and many other types of daffodil fare.

Visit the place you met and take a long, thoughtful walk down memory lane, remembering how it felt getting to know one another, falling in love, getting married, and enjoying the last ten years of your lives. As long as the two of you are together, it doesn't really matter what you actually do, or where you go, reveling in the day is often all really you need.

Renewing Vows on Your Ten Year Anniversary

Renewing your wedding vows is an excellent way of celebrating any anniversary, especially if you are now able to have a different type of wedding, or have the honeymoon you always wanted, but never had. Some couples choose to write their own vows, a sentimental few words expressing their love for one another, while others prefer to stick with traditional vows, or a shortened version thereof.

In general, vow renewal ceremonies are usually done further down the road after the 20th or other "milestone" anniversary. However, it's really a matter of personal preference and many couples do choose to mark their 10th year by exchanging vows again, either privately, or with their first bridal party present amongst family and friends. Some choose to have an intimate gathering, while others opt for a full blown gala complete with decorations, food, drinks, music, and plenty of laughter and memories.

Gift Ideas

Here are some theme ideas for celebrating a ten year anniversary:

- 10th Anniversary Color: Blue or silver

- 10th Anniversary Flower: Daffodils to symbolize cheerfulness, happiness, and joy

- 10th Anniversary Gemstones: Diamonds, blue sapphire

- 10th Anniversary Gift (Modern/Contemporary): Diamonds, diamond jewelry

- 10th Anniversary Gift (Traditional): Tin or aluminum to symbolize flexibility and malleability

Gifts could include any decorative item made from tin or aluminum, which would stand for the durability of the relationship, paying tribute to successfully withstanding the first ten years of marriage. Personalized items abound made from both tin and aluminum including paper weights, decorative wall scones and candle holders, or anything related to the daffodil. A simple picture of the daffodil in a tin frame would be the perfect 10th wedding anniversary gift.

As for gifts for each other, couples could choose from any number of dazzling pieces of blue sapphire or diamond jewelry, including bracelets, necklaces, pins, and rings.

A 10 Year Wedding Anniversary Party

When hosting or planning a 10 year anniversary party, keep in mind the previous symbols and colors when choosing the decorations and invitations.

Daffodils could be easily incorporated into the theme of the party, and while you may have trouble finding some that are reasonably priced if they're out of season in your area, craft stores are filled with realistic looking faux flowers and with a bit of imagination and creativity, the possibilities are endless to create many beautiful decorations. The colors silver and blue combine together wonderfully and represent the gemstones associated with the ten year anniversary; diamonds and blue sapphires, symbolizing durability and strength.

Some couples may feel uncomfortable at the thought of receiving gifts for their anniversary, if this is the case, simply request on the invitation that no gifts be given, and that all of the guests simply sharing in your special day is all the gift you need.
