Homemade Popcorn!

So I've seen this on another site, and then i was watching Rachel Ray this morning and that prompted me to make this post.  Whenever wanting popcorn, like everyone else I would buy the packaged popcorn at the grocery store.  Well NO more.  I was totally disgusted after they cut open a packaged bag of popcorn.  It looked TOTALLY disgusting... a bag of fake food and Fat!  So from now on, I'll be using this recipe below to make my own, more natural, healthier popcorn.  You can add your own seasoning to give a bit of flavor.  As a bonus to it being healthier, doing this can also save you some money!  Also you can have more portion control too and not waste as much as you might with a package bag of popcorn. 

Here are the ridiculously easy instructions:
  • Get a brown paper lunch bag.
  • Add a 1/2 cup scoop of popcorn kernels to bag.
  • Fold the bag over twice.
  • Stick the bag in the microwave.
  • Set it for 3 minutes on high…..BUT…STOP the microwave when the popping slows to one to two pops per second to avoid burning.
  • Add topping of choice.
I would also like to recommend this option to.  I saw this on the show.  Its a seasoning that it great for anyone, no matter if you don't eat meat or you are vegan or you love the meats & cheeses!  It supposedly taste a bit cheesy.  Now I haven't tried this yet but I do have the intention of purchasing this very soon.  Its called Bragg Nutritional Yeast Seasoning.  Oh another bonus...its Gluten Free! It is on amazon.com, but you should be able to buy it at your local health food store.  I'm not sure about traditional grocery stores but you can certainly try to look there.  Happy Snacking!
