If I could only eat three foods for the rest of my life, popcorn would be one of them. I love love love popcorn! It can even be a very healthy snack. Unfortunately, usually it is a calorie bomb. Movie theatre popcorn is covered in fake butter and salt. And microwave popcorn is simply loaded with chemicals and preservatives. Take a look. Blegh.
There is a new simple way to make homemade microwave popcorn that is becoming very popular right now. It is amazingly tasty, simple, and way cheaper than microwave popcorn. All you need is bulk popcorn kernels and paper lunch bags.
Start by taking /4 to 1/3 cup of popcorn kernals and putting them in a brown paper bag. Loosly fold the top of the bag over twice and put it in the microwave. Don't stand it up, I've learned it tends to explode all over the microwave. Set the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, but be sure to pay close attention. When the popping slows down to 2 seconds between pops, take it out. Every microwave cooks differently.
When you take it out, you have perfect and tasty popcorn! But, if you want to, you can melt a small pat of butter and drizzle it over the top. Just stick with a small amount to keep the popcorn healthy. Add your favorite topping, such as garlic salt, cinnamon and a sprinkle of sugar, a little real Parmesan cheese, or your favorite combination of spices! Finally, sit back and enjoy your tasty snack. And be proud of yourself for making a healthy choice!
YUM!
