I’m a huge fan of crab boil seasoning, and in particular, Old Bay. I use it in a lot 0f things, not just crab boils. As a steak rub. Or on popcorn! Crab boil popcorn is a great snack. It combines fresh popped popcorn, crunchy oyster crackers, and of course, Old Bay seasoning. The result is perfectly-seasoned and perfectly yummy and I ate a whole lot of it!
It’s Different. And Good.
If you don’t have oyster crackers, you can substitute goldfish crackers and keep the ‘nautical’ theme still going with this Crab Boil popcorn.
I pop my popcorn in a West Bend Stir Crazy Electric Popcorn Popper. It’s the easiest thing in the world for making a big batch of popcorn but it’s a classic and hard to find. There’s a newer model available on Amazon.

Nothing beats a tasty meatball sandwich. You can throw these easy grilled spicy meatball sandwiches together in just minutes. Although you could make this indoors, grilling the meatballs adds a nice charred flavor. Substitute mozzarella cheese and leave out the hot sauce for a less spicy version. I’m always making dishes with a bit of a kick so I like the addition of the hot sauce.
Ready In No Time
I used our homemade pizza and pasta sauce on these easy grilled spicy meatball sandwiches. I had a batch on hand after making some awesome pizzas the day before. You could of course use jarred sauce. And although homemade meatballs would be preferred, I needed a quick dish, so I used Johnsonville’s Italian-Style meatballs. You want to keep this dish easy so grabbing stuff out of the fridge and pantry is encouraged!
I recommend that you use a grill basket when making this dish, although I used skewers. It makes cooking easier and you don’t have to worry about anything falling through the grates. And cleanup is easier too!
I love a good bean salad. But, this isn’t a good bean salad… it’s an amazing bean salad. The pickle sauce is a tasty combination of sweet and vinegar. I could probably just sit down and drink a glass of it by itself. The sauce is what makes this 4-bean salad something special.
A Special Salad
If I’d leave out the peppadew peppers this would be an above-average salad, and I’d be happy to take it to any family picnic or get-together. But, with the peppadew peppers it becomes something that everyone will talk about. They bring just the right amount of heat. They’re my new most-favorite thing. Perfect on hamburgers, hot dogs, in salads, on sandwiches, you name it.
If you can’t find peppadews, use the hot and sweet cherry peppers you can find at Trader Joe’s. If you don’t have a Trader Joe’s nearby, you can substitute chopped roasted red pepper, but you’ll want to add a spicy hot sauce to add some kick. This 4-bean salad needs some kick.
