Microwave Popcorn

Well, the girls wanted to watch a movie and I wanted to make them a healthy snack.  Hence, make your own microwave popcorn!  No chemicals - no additivies - just good old fashioned popcorn!

1/2 cup unpopped popcorn
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste 

In a cup or small bowl, mix together the unpopped popcorn and oil. Pour the coated corn into a brown paper lunch sack, and sprinkle in the salt. Fold the top of the bag over twice to seal in the ingredients.

Cook in the microwave at full power for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, or until you hear pauses of about 2 seconds between pops. Carefully open the bag to avoid steam, and pour into a serving bowl. 

Nancy's Take:  Well, it took me twice to make it without burning it.  But, that was no biggie - it takes no time at all!  It was tasty - I missed the fattening butter!  Thankfully, the girls didn't!

Erin's Take:  YUMMY!  It smells like popcorn!  Mom - this is good.

Ev's Take:  Mom - can you make this again?


Success!
