Homemade Microwave Popcorn

My kids and I really like popcorn.  However buying microwave popcorn can get expensive and making it on the store isn’t as easy as microwave popcorn.  I don’t even want to think about all the extra chemicals that end up in the microwave popcorn.  I recent found an article on one of my favorite cooking blogs with a recipe for making my own microwave popcorn.  I tried it out and it was really good.  Everyone liked it!  It really is inexpensive, all you need is a package of small paper bags, a bag of popcorn kernels, a little oil and whatever toppings you prefer.

Craft Projects for Ramadan (updated)

I was looking online for ideas for a new Ramadan project for this year.  I came across some really good resources and ideas I wanted to share. 

  • Last year for Ramadan I made an Advent Calendar for my children. 
    I wrote down various treats, activities, and games on little slips of paper to put in each pocket.  My kids really liked it.  It is currently rolled up and stored on a shelf in a closet just waiting to be reused again this year.  You can find detailed directions and pictures at UmmLayla’s blog. I did a few things a little different on mine.  I also left mine a little more generic so that it could possibly be used for something else in the future.

 

  • The Muslim Homeschool has three good ideas; candy wrappers, banner, and “Ramadan Boxes” with activities and snacks for children during Taraweeh .  The candy wrappers could easily be used in conjunction with the advent calendar or as treats to be handed out to others.
  • I also found TJ Ramadan which has loads for resources for Ramadan.  There is also an e-book with craft projects for Ramadan that has been compiled from different people, websites, and blogs.  The e-book is a pdf file so you can either save or print it.
  • I found Ramadan Joy today that has some good ideas, including making cookies for your neighbors and including a little note about Ramadan.

Stuffed Crescent Rolls


Everyone in my family likes this recipe for Stuffed Crescent Rolls.  It is really east to change the filling to your family’s preferences.  You can make extra to store in the refrigerator or freeze for snacks or a quick meal.

2 (8 oz) cans Refrigerated Crescent Dinner Rolls Dough
2 cups finely chopped cooked chicken
4 oz cream cheese, softened
3 1/2-7 oz green salsa verde (optional)
chopped onions (yellow or green, any amount desired)
2 cups grated cheese

Set oven to 325 degrees. Combine chicken, cream cheese, salsa, onions and 1 1/2 cups cheese. Roll up 1 tbsp (or a little more) of mixture in the crescent rolls. (You can seal 2 crescent roll triangles together to make larger rolls, you would use more filling.) Then place the crescent rolls seam-side down on a lightly greased pan and sprinkle with remaining grated cheese. Bake for about 30 minutes.
