I just love my flexi clips and wear them every day! There are so many different styles you can do with them from simple ones that take seconds to put up, to elaborate ones that are made even more special with a flexi clip! I'm not the only one who loves them though! Here's what another lady has to say about them:

"Every since my first Lilla Rose clip I have been in love with these. I wear one just about everyday, if my hair is up its up in flexi clip. I love that they make it able to wear so many different styles. The fact that I never have to "refix" my hair throughout the day is always a reason I love them. They do not slide out or poke me or pull my hair too tight. My favorite one so far the the Cat's Meow."

Don't just take our word for it though! Try them out for yourself! You won't be disappointed.

Homemade Dark Chocolate Drizzled Kettle Corn

About a month or so ago, my mom asked me if there were any recipes for homemade Kettle Corn. She had been enjoying a little chocolate drizzled kettle corn as an afternoon snack, but the bag was almost empty, and as it was a seasonal item, the stores around here didn't have any more available.

So I went searching on Pinterest to see what I could find. Sure enough, I found a recipe that looked easy, and decided to give it a try. The first batch was sort of a success. I only had a regular cooking pan to make the popcorn in, and the sugar stuck to the bottom of the pan a little and the popcorn had a slightly burned taste.

I wasn't ready to give up yet, and thought I'd try it again on a lower temperature. This time was worse! Not only did the popcorn burn again, the sugar also badly burned onto the pan leaving black spots that only came off with vigorous scrubbing and cleaning products! Things were just not working!

Then one day we were at church getting our weekly carry-in meal ready and one of the families brought their new Whirley Pop popcorn maker to make kettle corn! That's what I was missing! A regular pan just wasn't good enough for making kettle corn, I needed a special popcorn popper! We've always used and air popper for making popcorn, so this was something new.

Within a week or two, I had purchased a used Whirley Pop popper off of Ebay and was in business! This pan is just perfect for making kettle corn, and we have been thoroughly enjoying it since we got it. It takes a lot of turning to keep the oil, sugar, and popcorn kernels moving so that they won't burn, but it's worth it, and turns out perfect yummy kettle corn every time!

Making Kettle Corn

Measure 1/2 cup popcorn kernels, 1/4 cup organic sugar (or regular sugar), and 1/4 cup coconut oil (affiliate link).

Pour oil in popper and heat over medium heat until hot. Add popcorn and sugar. Stir to combine. Close lid and begin stirring as the popcorn heats and the sugar melts.

Just as you begin to think nothing is going to happen, the kernels begin to explode first one or two at a time and then more and more at once! Keep stirring until you can't stir anymore as the pan is completely full.

Quickly dump into a large bowl and sprinkle with salt to taste, stirring to get the salt mixed in thoroughly.

Now, you're ready to dig in and eat your yummy treat, OR you can go a step farther and turn your plain kettle corn into an even more special treat by adding drizzled chocolate!

Melt 1/2-3/4 cup dark chocolate chips (depending on how much popcorn you have left after eating sampling the plain kettle corn) and whatever oil has settled in the bottom of the measuring cup from making the popcorn.

Spread the popcorn in a single layer on cookie sheets. Drizzle with melted chocolate. Place the pans in the freezer (or fridge) for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.

Break into chunks and enjoy!

You could also try this with semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips or peanut butter chips for a fun and yummy variation!

Now is the Time to Become a Lilla Rose Consultant

It is no secret around here that I love my Lilla Rose flexi clips, and I'm guessing that if you have one, you love yours too! Nearly everyone I know who has ever tried a flexi clip falls in love with their beauty, their durability, and their ease of use.

Maybe you have and love your flexi clips, but have you ever considered becoming a consultant? Whether you're looking for a part-time (or full time!) income or just want to take advantage of the discounts offered to consultants, now is the perfect time to enroll as a new Lilla Rose consultant.

Through the end of July, Lilla Rose is offering a first time ever free shipping discount on any new consultant enrollments! That's right, order your enrollment kit and your shipping will be completely free!

The chart below shows the shipping rates for each of the different enrollment packages. Just look at how much you could save with this free shipping offer!

Did you know that there are no fees for being a Lilla Rose consultant? Once you purchase your enrollment kit, you won't have any monthly fees or yearly selling requirements, and you will never be pressured to sell. The only requirement for remaining a consultant is that you (or your customers) purchase at least $29 worth of products throughout the year. That's it!

You can put as little or as much time and effort into this business opportunity as you want. If you just want to become a consultant to sell to friends and family and take advantage of the 30% consultant discount, that's perfectly fine. Or you can go all out and turn this into a full-time job if you want to!

Just choose the enrollment kit that is right for you, your budget, and your goals, and get started!

Grandma's Ginger Cookies

Nearly every Saturday morning finds me in the kitchen making food to take to our carry in dinner after church on Sunday, and yesterday was no exception.

After cooking up the chicken and rice casserole and filling the crock pot ready for heating up today, I turned to the dessert. I decided to take advantage of the fact that it is still winter (despite the fact that the temperature was in the 60's yesterday) and make a recipe I typically only make in the Fall and Winter months - Grandma's Ginger Cookies.

The original recipe for these cookies has been passed down from generation to generation from my Great-Great Grandma. If you love ginger cookies, you'll want to try this recipe. These special cookies are packed with flavor and are crisp on the outside while being oh so soft in the middle!

I have changed the recipe slightly to make it a little healthier, but the taste is just as wonderful.

Grandma's Ginger Cookies

1/2 cup palm shortening

1/2 cup coconut oil (or additional shortening)

1 cup molasses

1 cup cane juice crystals (or sugar)

1 egg

1 cup whole wheat flour

2 1/2 cups unbleached white flour

1 tablespoon ginger

1 tablespoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Mix shortening, oil, molasses, sugar, and egg. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Drop by spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet and bake on 350 for 8-10 minutes.

(Do not over bake unless you like your cookies completely crisp rather than soft inside.)

 

Note: The palm shortening and coconut oil I used in this recipe are from Tropical Traditions. I highly recommend their quality products and right now they even have a FREE Shipping coupon! Just use the code 28113 at checkout to receive free shipping on your order. Plus if you order through one of my referral links on this page, you'll also receive a FREE copy of their Coconut Oil book which is excellent! And thanks in advance for allowing me to refer you to Tropical Traditions!
