I mean, who can resist that sweet, salty perfection that is so easily popped up on your stove top?!?
This is one of our favorite movie night snacks, and pops up in a matter of a few minutes.
Ingredients:
1/4 C coconut oil
1/2 C popcorn kernels
1/4 C sugar (I use Florida Crystals)
1 tsp salt
1. Melt your coconut oil in a large pot over medium high heat
2. Add popcorn, sugar and salt; stir well. Place a lid on your kettle, and wait to hear the corn pop.
3. Once the corn starts popping, shake your pot continuously until the popping slows.
4. Remove from heat.
5. Pour into a bowl, making sure to keep the 'old maids' out(we don't want to bite onto one of those!), and stir a few times while cooling. It is sticky when it's hot.
6. Once cooled, it can be stored in an airtight container.
I have always gotten great pleasure,( actually, some sort of freakish high) from feeding the people I love.
I feel that preparing a good meal for someone is one of the most wonderful things you could do to let them know that you care.
After my youngest son was diagnosed with Celiac, I had to learn a whole new way to provide him with foods that not only didn't harm him, but that he enjoyed eating,(not an easy task with a 9 year old) as most of the packaged products just weren't up to snuff with what mom had always made for him.
Through many trials and errors, I have managed to keep his tummy full and happy.
I hope that I can offer advice and a little laughter to others, while I share my stories, along with recipes and tips that I have learned.
