You've Got To Be Kidding Me

Okay, so I've heard rumor that you can make microwave popcorn with...
ready for it...
popcorn and a brown paper bag...
I have even pinned it over on my pintrest board
healthy snacks popcorn
source: Squawkfox
yep...that's all...

so I researched this crazy idea on the intranet...
(ps Beau hates when I call it that)
Beau thought it was all just one of those things that you read online and shouldn't believe...
he laughed at me...


turns out it's totally true...
so, you can believe some things you read on the intranet...
(said that to make him cringe)


this was so easy that I'm not going to give you the tutorial in pic not words...
okay, so I will use some words...use just under 1/3 cup of popcorn






take it out when the popping gets to about 3-5 seconds apart


and bonus...you can reuse the same bag, over and over...
this was 5 popped bags...one bag, 5 times through the microwave...

okay...so, lets break this down...
1.  ingredients that you're feeding to yourself and your kids...
White Pop Corn...or Yellow ...depending on what you buy...that's IT...pop corn...

or you can feed them this 
and this is Jolly Time Healthy Pop Butter, 94% Fat Free
and you can choose to put your own butter and salt (or whatever you like)...
just butter and salt...
no partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Natural Flavors (really, you can't even tell me which ones, just natural?), Annatto for coloring (cuz I like a good color on my popcorn), Soy Lecithin, Egg and Milk (yep, in my popcorn)....

2.  One bag put into the recycle or green waste bin (not into a landfill, can you imagine how many microwave bags are in our dumps)
3. Cost $1 on 50 brown bags  $1 bag of popcorn...$2 total for who knows how many HUGE bowls of popcorn...
4.  Husband finally realizing that you are a genius!  Who's laughing now
