Hi All! For my first post, I thought I'd share my most favorite (and necessary!) snack for watching the latest episode of The Quilt Show! I've been a member since the show first started, and somewhere along the way, it became a firmly entrenched habit that I MUST. HAVE. POPCORN! when watching The Quilt Show.
Over the years, I've tried them all - every type of microwave popcorn known to man. My current favorite is also the tastiest, and healthiest, (and cheapest!) option possible. All you need are some popcorn kernels and a paper lunch bag (available at the grocery store.)
Measure out about 3 tablespoons of popcorn kernels into the paper bag, fold the top over twice, put it in the microwave, and hit the popcorn button on your microwave. Be sure not to wander too far. If the kernels stop popping for more than a second or two, its done.
And now, here is my 'secret ingredient'--spray oil and Morton's Popcorn Salt. I do like a bit of salt on my popcorn, and it just wouldn't stick to this plain stuff. So I simply put a third of the popcorn in a bowl, give it a spritz of Pam (or whatever spray oil you keep around) and then a shake of salt. Repeat twice more. Ah - popcorn perfection! I am all ready to settle in and watch the latest episode of The Quilt Show! Are you?
I'll be back during the week to share some of my favorite Thanksgiving substitutions! In the meantime, you can check out my blog Debby Weighs In...on living a whole and healthy life.
