1 lb. White chocolate disks or white chocolate chips

Melt white chocolate disks (slowly in microwave or in double boiler). In large bowl, pour melted chocolate over popcorn and stir until coated. Stir to break up large clumps and spread onto 2 cookie sheets. Refrigerate 5-8 minutes or keep in a cool place until chocolate has hardened. Store in airtight ziploc bag.
 
Not only is this recipe delicious and terribly easy, but the “hull-less” popcorn is safe for even young kids to enjoy! Make a batch and watch it disappear! Be sure to comment and let us know if you try it!

Recipe: Quick Cake for One

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my full disclosure policy.

With the new Duncan Hines cake mix coupon ($0.35/1 from 3-29 SS) and area sales (like the one VG’s is having this week for $0.99/box), it’s a great time to snag some cake mix at a great price! Don’t feel like baking a cake? Not to worry – with this great idea, you can make a serving-size piece of cake in the microwave. Not only can you make it low-fat, but it will be moist, warm, & delicious!

To make the mix:
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 box chocolate instant pudding mix
(4 serving size)

Combine the 2 mixes well with a whisk and store in an airtight container with the following instructions…

WHEN YOU WANT CAKE:
Spray a LARGE mug with cooking spray. Lightly beat together the white of one large egg and 2 tablespoons water in the mug. Add 1/2 cup of the mix and stir well. Microwave on HIGH 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.

NOTES:

You can also substitute 1-2 tablespoons Egg Beaters – simply adjust the water accordingly so you end up with a total of 4 tablespoons liquid.
If you’d prefer a higher-fat version, mix 1/2 cup mix with 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon water.

These make fun pick-me-up gifts! Place one serving size in a bag, add a mug and some instructions and your gift is ready.

Budget 101 is full of great ideas! Read Cake in a Coffee Mug for additional flavor combinations and glazes! Feeling especially creative? Cakes aren’t the only things you can make in a mug. Look at the complete list of Mug Mixes!

Recipe: Lemon-Glazed Sticky Bread + more lemon recipes!

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my full disclosure policy.

And THIS is why bags of lemons on sale make my day! My family can’t get enough of this bread! We also like Lemon Oregano Chicken – you can marinate and freeze ahead if you like!

Lemon-Glazed Sticky Bread

from Heather Van Vorous

This bread is tart, sweet, and intensely lemony. Though it’s luscious and rich, it’s low-fat and can also be made dairy-free. Don’t forget the glaze – the bread just isn’t the same without it. It freezes very well, so I always double the recipe.

Makes one 9 x 5″ loaf, 16 slices per loaf

Ingredients

3/4 cup milk (can use rice or soy milk as well)
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons canola oil
2 eggs (or 1/2 cup Egg Beaters or 4 egg whites)
zest from 2 lemons, minced

Glaze:
strained juice from 2 lemons
3 tablespoons granulated sugar

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. In a medium bowl add vinegar to milk and stir well (this will “sour” the milk); set aside. Sift dry ingredients into large bowl. Whisk well to combine. Add to sour milk the oil, eggs, and zest. Whisk well until thoroughly combined. Add wet ingredients to dry with a few swift strokes by hand just until blended.
  2. Pour batter into a non-stick loaf 9×5″ pan sprayed with cooking oil. Bake for about 1 hour or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
  3. While bread is baking, stir glaze ingredients together until sugar dissolves. When bread is done, and while it is still hot from the oven, run a sharp knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the loaves, and prick bread carefully all over with a thin wooden or metal skewer. Pour glaze over bread, and cool in pan on rack. Bread tastes even better the next day.

Lemon Oregano Chicken

1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive or canola oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 to 3 cloves garlic, crushed
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

Combine all marinade ingredients. Add chicken breast halves to the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Grill until done (about 4-5 minutes on a George Foreman grill).

And these recipes sound delicious, too!
