As 2016 was winding down I felt like I was one of the only bloggers without a “Word for the Year,” Then, in the final hours, it came to me in the shower – only THE single-most inspiring space in my house. My word for 2017 is really two words: Open Doors. Ever since these words popped into my head and I claimed them as my own, it seems that doors have been flying open all over the place. Either that or I have more awareness of the opportunities before me.

Cold Day Kingdome Minestrone
I have another favorite recipe for you this week that I’ll also be sharing over at the Home of the 12s Facebook page. This Kingdome Minestrone is named in honor of the Seahawk’s original stadium where we enjoyed many games over the years. My dad had season tickets from the start of the franchise and he LOVED his SEAHAWKS.
Kingdome Minestrone
December 11, 2015
Category
Seattle Seahawks
Kingdome Minestrone is especially delicious because of the addition of the Parmesan rind and the tomato pesto. This one is a FIVE-Star hit even with my meat lovin' husband. Of course, some hot Italian sausage wouldn't be a bad addition either.
Persons
This makes a large pot of soup which means plenty of leftovers for tomorrow!

Amazingly Delicious Coconut Oil Kettle Corn!
It’s Blue Friday for all Seahawk fans, and once again I’m coming to you with a new recipe that I’ll be linking to the Home of the 12’s Facebook page. If you are a fan and haven’t joined this fun group head on over to join. For those of you who don’t like football or who (Heaven forbid!) support opposing teams, this recipe is for you too, because we Seahawks fans are generous in spirit 🙂
Amazingly Delicious Coconut Oil Kettle Corn!
December 4, 2015
Category
Seattle Seahawks
Warning: This is the best kettle corn I've ever tasted but also, highly addictive!
Notes
Be sure to keep the pot moving while popping the corn. With the added sugar it is trickier than regular popcorn and can burn very quickly.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 1/4 cup unbleached pure cane sugar
- 1-1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Heat the coconut oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until it is sizzling.
- Add the popcorn kernels and sugar and stir.
- Place a lid on the pot and shake it continuously until all of the kernels have popped.
- Pour the popcorn into a large bowl and sprinkle with salt to taste
