Honey Butter Creamy Skillet Corn

This gem of a recipe from Gourmet Chef Elaine's kitchen will stun you.  It takes only four ingredients and fifteen minutes to produce this side dish that will knock your taste buds silly.  Butter and honey are melted over medium-high heat, then frozen corn is added.  Cook and stir for 5-8 minutes, then cream cheese, salt, and pepper are added.  Stir another 3-5 minutes, and you have a taste bud masterpiece! 

All the delicious details are at the link below.

Organizing The Spices

We've been looking to improve the organization of our spices.  Most of the time, we're pulling jars and cans out until we can finally spot the one we want.  Gourmet Chef Elaine bought a 5-piece Seville Classics Acacia Storage Bin Set during a recent trip to Costco, and we're using the three 6" (wide) by 11.25" (deep) by 3" (tall) you see in the top picture below.  The one on the left has the tallest jars, the one in the middle has the half-size jars (with their labels facing up!), and the one on the right has the medium-sized jars.  In the final picture, the tallest box is on the left, and the medium box sits on top of the half-sized box.  We'll see how we like it, but early indications are that we'll love it.

Easter Jumping Popper Toys

It's not too late to order a set of the twenty-four Easter Jumping Popper Toys you see below in time to put a few in every Easter basket.  The eggs, bunnies, and bears are as cute as can be, and you just press the head down to the bottom, then wait 3-10 seconds (or a bit more), and it will jump up to 12" - 20" high.  There are eight designs, and you get three of each one, all for $14.
