Popcorn, Baby!

So popcorn?
Yeah, it is a rare thing if Matthew and I go just a couple nights without it.
We LOVE popcorn.
YUM!

At our last apartment, we had no microwave.
Tough right?
So instead we made it on the stove.

Popcorn is a GREAT snack.
Why?
Well, it just happens to be filling, low-cal, and inexpensive!
And here's another perk:
There are ENDLESS topping options.

EASY stove popcorn instructions:
1. Add 3 popcorn kernels + 2-3 T. oil to a large pot
2. Heat the pot over medium high heat + cover with lid
3. Once you hear one of the kernels pop + add 1 cup of popcorn kernels + cover
4. You will hear the rest of the kernels popping- Let cook until all have popped, by holding handles of the lid and shaking to avoid any burning
5. Add toppings + stir
6. Serve in your favorite popcorn bowl!
(Chef's note: you will not want to add much more than the 1 cup of kernels because this amount fills up your pot, once all popped!)
