My eighth experiment was to help satisfy my snack craving while on another one of my diets. One day while searching the web for low fat topping ideas for popcorn I came across a recipe for popping your own popcorn using a brown paper bag. I went to the store picked up a bag of kernels and a package of brown paper bags. I popped 1/4 cup of kernels in the bag for about two minutes. I then added some spray butter (0 calories ), garlic powder and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. This popcorn is so good and cheap. I estimated the cost to be about $0.08 for 1 serving (about 5 cups). Some people may prefer to add more butter because it definitely isn't like your movie theater popcorn, but the toppings you can add to this popcorn is endless.
Directions
Place 1/4 cup unpopped kernels in a brown-paper lunch bag. Fold the top over tightly a few times; microwave on high for about 2 minutes, or until the popping slows (the timing depends on your microwave).
Topping Ideas
Spray butter or oil
garlic
hot sauce
cinnamon
I'm going to have to try this!! :)
