POPCORN!

I decided to go retro last night and make hot aired popcorn. With everything I've read about the evils of microwave corn, I figured it was worth giving air popped corn another chance. As a kid, we had one of those hideous looking yellow plug-in kinds (remember them? the gross little butter melter tray? they turn up at yard sales all the time!).

My latest trick? Put 1/4 cup of kernels in a brown paper lunch bag, fold the bag over 3 times and pop it for about 2 1/2 minutes in the microwave! The result? Fluffy, white, super low-cal, whole grain treat...in it's own cute bag :) The kids loved it.
