Grandma Gertie’s Famous Popcorn Ball Recipe:

  • 2 Cups Sugar

  • 2/3 Cup White Corn Syrup

  • 2/3 Cup Water

  • 1/2 Cup Butter

  • 1 1/2 tsp Salt

  • 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla

  • 1 Cup Uncooked Plain Popcorn Kernels (3 quarts popped)

  • Food Coloring of choice

Pop plain popcorn in air popper or paper bag in the microwave 1/4 cup at a time. Pour popped popcorn in a large bowl or roasting pan and remove un-popped kernels. Place bowl or roasting pan in 300 degree oven to keep warm.

Stir and cook corn syrup, water, butter, and salt until sugar in dissolved and a candy thermometer reaches 270 (or 260ish for a chewier texture). Add vanilla and food coloring and remove from heat.

Pour over popcorn stirring with a large spoon to coat evenly. We prefer to not form into balls as it is easier to eat.

Welcome to Live Well Anyway.

I'm your host, Mackenzie Kappa.

0:09.2

On this podcast, we journeyed together in learning how to feel healthy, look good, and plan lives we actually like in the midst of all the everyday chaos.

0:17.2

I'm so glad you're here.

0:18.6

And this is a very festive and fun episode today, ladies.

0:24.2

Oh my goodness. We really get into some fun things that Katie does for a holiday. I mean,

0:31.2

she is the consummate host. She really just lives it up all season long. She reveals some things to me in this episode that I

0:39.8

had no idea about and I think are absolutely hilarious, but they just really show her

0:45.9

enneagram too at its finest. And I think you're really going to enjoy them. We both share some

0:51.8

of our favorite recipes and things we make around this season,

0:55.3

things that you don't have to rush and try to get done right before Christmas. You can really

extend this out all throughout the holidays, all throughout into New Year and everything. I think

1:04.2

it is a really good time with lots of fun ideas in this episode. But before we jump in there,

1:09.8

I do want to mention that we've got so much

1:12.1

going on in Patreon right now. It is more lively than I think it's been over there in quite

1:17.5

a while because we are all really stepping into our planning genius and getting things done.

1:25.3

We have been putting all these little habits into practice with our

1:29.2

monthly challenges that we've been doing that are making a huge difference in all of our lives.

1:34.0

And we are also really pressing into daily planning and weekly planning, like doing those

1:40.0

brain dumps, making sure we go over the next day before we get there and making sure we have a

1:46.1

handle on what's going on. I know it's made a big difference in my life to feel a lot less

1:50.5

stressed and the other ladies in the group are really reporting that too. It has been such a great
