Kettle Corn

This is so simple but good - the original recipe calls for maple sugar, but I couldn't find any so I used brown sugar.

2 T canola oil
1/2 c. unpopped popcorn kernels
1/4 c. maple or brown sugar
1/2 t. salt

Heat oil. Add popcorn, sugar and salt. Cook until popping slows down, shaking pan continuously to avoid burning.

Chicken Saltimbucca - yum!

Pound chicken breasts - dip in egg and then flour, salt & pepper. Brown in olive oil about 2 min per side (depending on thickness of cutlets). Put chicken on a cooking sheet with chopped garlic. Top each piece of chicken with a slice of prosciutto, basil or sage leaf, and a slice of fresh mozzarella and broil.

Saute sliced assorted mushrooms (shitaake, oyster, baby bella, etc) in marsala wine. Saute baby spinach in olive oil and garlic.

Serve chicken on a bed of spinach, topped with the mushrooms and marsala.
