We hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and holiday season and could maybe even incorporate this month's ingredients into some holiday baking!

Do you have ideas for ingredients?  Send them our way!  Even if you might not want to participate yourself, definitely comment or email us with what you'd like to see us cook or bake with!  This month, our "popcorn" and "chocolate" ingredients came from Heather!  

The Guidelines:

- "Open The Basket" on the first Tuesday of the month to see your ingredients and sign up.  

- Cook/Bake/Fry/Grill an original recipe using the four ingredients.

- Use any other ingredients you wish.

- Link up with our "Tasting" on the last Tuesday of the month with your recipe and/or photos of your creation.

- Use our button if you wish!

Here's what I made:
