My name is Cecilia, but my family calls me “Nanny”. I am NOT a nutritionist or dietitian, I am a retired C.P.A. who loves to cook. After a health scare with my husband back in 2011, healthy cooking became my obsession. Welcome to Nanny Cooks from the Ozarks. If you have never heard of Ozarks country, you have missed a beautiful part of the United States. We are located in the southwest corner of the beautiful state of Missouri where people are friendly and talent is plentiful---we are near Branson, Missouri (known as the “Live Music Show Capital of the Nation"). Our scenic lakes and streams are perfect for fishing, swimming, boat riding or just relaxing. Don’t forget to like and share. We hope you enjoy our recipes, demos and conversations. Thanks for checking in.
I’ve been making my caramel corn just like this for years. But I make about 4 times the amount at one time because it goes sooooo fast. But I about double the caramel recipe you’re doing. It is only a very thin layer of caramel but it’s still super delicious. I actually like it better w/ a thin layer. fill the bag almost 1/2 full with popcorn & mix. Put closed bag in microwave for about 40 sec and mix again. I keep doing this until all popcorn is fully coated and popcorn gets crunchy when a few pieces are left to cool. I sometimes add about 4 tbs Cinnamon when I add the baking soda & vanilla. It would be about 2 tbs to equate with your smaller amount. It’s even better than the OG caramel corn.
Growing up, as a special treat, Mama would sometimes have us a mayonnaise cake waiting for us when we got home from school. This brings back many memories. I'm gonna have to make one, now.
looks delicious, 😋I just started water bathing last year and I love it. I have always been intimidated with pressure cookers. My mother never used one.
To me, water bathing is much less stressful than a pressure cooker, but both have there please, especially for low acid foods (it's best to use pressure cooker for these)
It took 9 minutes for the 3 ears on mine. I put on some rubber gloves and cut off the end and pulled the corn cob out the other end. Silk and leaves came right off at once. Put each one in an already buttered dish with a lid to keep warm and buttery.
I normally make this at Christmas with my grandma, but got a craving for it earlier today. Listening to you reminded me a lot of being in the kitchen with my grandma. Thank you, Cecilia!
Great cake mix ideas, I’ve made the cookies before, but hadn’t heard of making muffins, I can’t wait to try these recipes. I look forward to your new video series. Thank you
I also love to limit preservatives in our diet and eat as naturally as we can I had some health issues and started seeing a physician that practices holistic medicine Wow what a difference it makes when we eat right like God intended We raise our own beef and pork and have a greenhouse and gardens - I love to can And we keep dairy cows for raw milk Feel so much better eating what the good Lord provides
I’ve just found your channel Enjoyed the video ! I’m not far from you in north central Ark - practically neighbors ! LOL I’ll be catching up on all your videos
I've been searching and searching for a recipe to make a starter like my mom gave me years ago. She used it to make Red River Bread. Wonder if you've ever heard of it? It's made with a cereal out of Canada that nothing in the US matches (some are close but just not the same). Thank you for posting this! I'm on my fourth try of making a different recipe and trying to convert it but now I have this and am going to start it today so I can bake the bread next weekend. Lost our mom in 2021 so having this recipe back means a lot. My dad is looking forward to a good loaf of Red River Bread!
It’s so good to see you again and starting a new series. I was just thinking about you a couple weeks ago and what you and your husband do in January (living off your preps.)
You’re back!!!! Welcome back! I’m only a few seconds in and I just want to say Merry Christmas to you and your family! I am so glad to see your bright face. May God pour His abundant love and peace over you and your family always.
Oh My Goodness, so Good to see you. I Love Pumpkin, so I will Definitely be making these recipes. I also have to say, I'm a Subscriber to your channel. I had to Subscribe after luckily stumbling across your recipe for the Microwave Caramel corn, I've made it many times it's just so easy to make, in fact I just made some yesterday, but I wanted to try and see if it would turn out with just using white sugar, for a kind of Kettle Corn, and it did. Hope to see more videos, at least a Few! Happy Thanksgiving!
😄thanks John, I really enjoyed the way you explained everything! I never thought I'd have to search for a video on how to make corn on the cob in a microwave! I have a few ears of corn for dinner, but I need to save the cooking gas today. I'm in Brazil and we use gas in tanks, mine is almost out, you see, and I'm hoping it will last through breakfast tomorrow. Your recipe will help me out, 🤞! 😊🌽🌽🌽
Hope you enjoyed the corn on the cobb in the microwave. It is our favorite way to fix it. AND we hope your cooking gas holds out! Thanks for contacting us.
I mix my butter and salt together then put a part of butter on each bite. Then the butter doesn't melt off onto your plate, it stays on your corn and in your belly!
