Microwave popcorn - the healthy way

My mom is doing this clean eating with me, and if you know her then you know - popcorn is a must!! She loves popcorn so much that a few years back, my brother bought her a popcorn popper - one of those stand up fancy kinds that you see at the movie theatre. Between you & me, an attempt to secure his place as her favorite child went into that decision.  It's great - only problem is there's a LOT of oil & calories in that popper of deliciousness. So the only way for Mom to continue clean eating she had to find a way to get popcorn. She discovered this nifty trick.


Simply put 1/4 cup of popcorn kernels in a brown paper lunch sack.  Fold over the top twice & microwave for 3 minutes (times may vary, so pay attention to not let it burn.). Delicious fat free popcorn.

Now if you're a salt lover, you may want to pour it out on a tray & spray it (lightly) with an oil sprayer (or cooking spray if that's what you have.)  then salt it. That will give the salt something to stick to.  

Delicious & ready in three minutes. Gotta love popcorn...
