Yum yum popcorn!

in Family and Home on 12/18/12

Powered by Mom Blog loves popcorn, how about you?!

 

If you’re a regular reader of Powered by Mom then I’m sure you’ll have read how much I love popcorn. It’s one of my favorite snacks and one of the reasons I love it so much is it can be a healthy or an indulgent snack depending on how you make it. 

You can of course put lots of butter and salt on it which I try not to do, it can be sweet and salty, it can be healthy well popcorn can be made almost anyway you want it to be. If you’re like me you have your popcorn supplies so that you can have your popcorn when you want it and how you want it. I love popcorn so much that we have a popcorn machine where I can have my popcorn made in a healthy fashion. Very little oil used when I make popcorn for myself as a healthy snack and I put just  wee bit of butter and a little bit of sea salt. It’s delicious and curbs my craving for something salty without being bad for me. I make kettle corn if I want to satisfy a sweet craving and again it’s quite healthy compared to anything store bought as I control how much sugar goes on it. 

We of course love to have popcorn in our house when we’re watching a movie, so much so that I bought a set of popcorn tubs (similar to the ones below) so that each member of my family could eat their popcorn the way that they want. My husband & daughter of course prefers a little more butter than I put on mine which is fine once in a while. Overall though their popcorn is a tasty but healthier version than most out there.

 

Do you love popcorn as much as we do? If so tell us about it and remember it can be a health and a tasty snack. Healthy doesn’t mean it doesn’t taste good, the options are almost endless when it comes to popcorn 🙂

    I have a popcorn maker from Nostalgia Electronics and love it. I found it at a local thrift shop which was great! It was in mint condition. I love making organic popcorn.

    Our family loves popcorn! I have to admit that I prefer it less “healthy” most of the time, as I load mine up with my butter, but even that way it’s still a better snack than a lot of other things out there 🙂

    My grand kids are totally in love with popcorn and we have always wanted a popcorn maker like the kind they use in the movie theater. They have discovered that a great addition to the flavor is to sprinkle Old Bay seasoning on it.

    I love popcorn, and wanted to go healthier with an air popper. I made the mistake of buying store brand kernels, which tasted stale and were really small. Do you have a particular brand or something you use that you like the most?

    I love buttered popcorn, so it’s a good thing that there are so many wonderful spices out there just for popcorn, so I can stay away from so much butter.

    I absolutely LOVE popcorn. I often eat it for lunch as well as snacks. I just use the brown paper bag method in the microwave. No mess and healthy! I like to use garlic (another health benefit) and butter and rosemary.

    My husband and I love movies and popcorn. Often a couple evenings a week I make it and make it healthy with coconut oil instead of butter and sea salt, just a touch…

    My family likes popcorn as well. Everytime we go to this one store, my 3 year old daughter knows they have popcorn, so even before we get in the doors she is asking for some.

    My daughter and her husband and their two kids have family night once a week with movies and popcorn. This christmas I bought them a popcorn popper similar to the one in the picture but it has the kettle in it. I also got them popcorn buckets and put their names on each one. I love popcorn and I miss those family night with the kids. So now that I’m old (LOL) I will give the gift of making their family night a little better!

Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and Happy #Easter everyone. Hubby & I went camping and just got back. We took both of our dogs with us and we think we broke them 😆 #CleoTheDog & #NyxTheDog were both soooo tired by around 8:30pm each night that they would go to our trailer door & look at ys waiting to be let in 😁 while we continued to enjoy our campfire 🔥It was great to unplug there is no cell service let alone internet where we go so we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We are lucky to live in #BeautifulBC. Swipe to see our 📷  more beautiful nature photos to come soon. 🌿🌼#camping #PNW #nature #naturephotography #pnwwonderland #pnwlife #forest #greatoutdoors #campfire #Chilliwack  #chilliwackbc  #FraserValley
