Did You Know...that you can pop popcorn in an ordinary paper bag?
Just use a lunch size bag and cover the bottom of the bag in popcorn kernels...white or yellow.
Don't add anything else!
Just fold down the top of the bag a couple of times and place in your microwave.
I use the popcorn setting (I usually add on an extra 45 seconds or so)
Just listen for it to stop popping.
Voila! Microwave popcorn without any chemicals or artificial preservatives.
I never buy microwave popcorn from the market anymore!
It pops perfectly!
You can add whatever you would like for seasoning...
We use spray Canola or Oil Olive oil and salt. Extra Low-fat!
And it is so inexpensive too. You can even re-use the bag!
A quick, healthy snack!
Give it a try!

Thank you so much for your comment on my blog! :-) I'm so glad you brought me, in turn, to your beautiful blog!
ReplyDeleteI am SO excited about your popcorn tip! I love popcorn, and this is such an economical AND time saving idea!! Thank you, thank you! :-)
I feel I just won the lottery with your post about popcorn...I can't wait to try this today. Thank you!!!!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea!!! This has to be so much better than the store bought kind...too many fake flavors for my taste...I usually use a very old air popper...this will be so much easier!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip!!!
Enjoy!!!
XOXO

Thanks for the tip! I have a recipe for microwave caramel popcorn that is fantastic too! But I'm sure your version is better for me :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much again for the opportunity to win something from you. I'm excited to receive it and I'll let you know the second it lands in my anxious little hands. LOL
Have a great day,
Darla
We love popcorn. Thanks for posting this. I will give it a try.
ReplyDeleteWillow
Most importantly, 3 cups equals 1 (one) point on Wt. Watchers! THREE CUPS!
ReplyDeleteI had not heard of this, but it is a great tip. Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeletePopcorn is one snack we all enjoy. This is a great tip and I am going this route the next time we have it. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteoh Carrie, you have just made my day!!!
ReplyDeleteI had no clue to even try this...
I eat popcorn pretty much every night for a snack and I drag out the heavy pot and lid, pop the corn, then clean up the stove and dishes... you have just simplified my life and time in the kitchen. Heck I can even just eat it out of the bag, no bowl to dirty!!!! WooHoo, guess what I am fixing tonight?????
What a great idea! Twyla
ReplyDeleteWell this is unbelievable Carrie! Wow! I never knew!
ReplyDeleteBrown bags at Walmart...here I come!
Thanks for the great idea!
XXOOXX
Awesome idea, thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tip! It would be healthier!
ReplyDeleteI just love the popcorn bowl you have pictured! I want one like that. :)
ReplyDeleteNice to know! Thank you dear. That's one of my snack foods. Hugs
ReplyDeleteBoy what an idea!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find this at?
Melinda
What??!! This is amazing!!! I had no idea...
ReplyDeleteI have a little one with severe food allergies {milk, and egg products} so I don't buy microwave popcorn-it usually has butter-this would be PERFECT for him, and I can add his soy butter!!!
YOU ARE AWESOME~~~
:)
That's awesome! I didn't know that I could make my own popcorn in that manner. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletehi carrie,
ReplyDeletearound here, we are completely hooked on popping popcorn in EVOO in a crank-handled popper (from target). so delicious! in fact, i want some right now!
xo
Carrie,
ReplyDeleteI'm so pleased to have you drop by and also to take the time to comment.
I don't believe I've met you before...
Your blog is lovely and I'd like to visit again...Betty
I am new to your blog. I did not know that you could "pop" popcorn in a regular lunch bag. Thanks for the great idea.
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered if this would work but have been afraid to try it. Now that I know it's safe, I'm off to buy some paper bags and some Orville's in a jar!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I make caramel corn every Christmas and this will help a lot!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend,
M.L.
Cool tip. Popcorn in November always reminds me of Charlie Browns Thanksgiving.. all we need is some toast to go with it.
ReplyDeleteYou are so clever my friend...I will try that next time...no more microwave bought popcorn for us! xoxox
ReplyDeleteThat's so clever Carrie, I never thought that we could do it ourselves but it makes perfect sense! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for that idea!!! I am going to try that. We use the bag popcorn all the time, so this will be good for us!
ReplyDeleteHi Carrie:
ReplyDeleteI am your newest follower : ) I came to you via Myko's blog. This is one of those moment's where you say why didn't I think of that? How cool. I am going to try it this weekend so I will not have to use the stove; yes, I still pop popcorn the old fashion way : )
Pearl looks like a little lady sitting so nicely : )
You and your Hubby look happy!
Glad to meet you and I will be back.
peace
carole
You have just made my decade! My husband eats popcorn EVERY night, and the kind he likes is $5 for 5 bags. It's just ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to buy some kernals and try this on him tonight! Thank you so much!!
Xandra
Who knew! Thanks for this great tip! Have a great weekend! E
ReplyDeleteHi Carrie,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tip! I can't wait to pass it along to my daughter. She eats popcorn all the time. She will love this!
Have a fun weekend.
Karen

ReplyDeletehappy autumn.

ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sheila
Who would have thought that was possible. Thanks for the great tip.
ReplyDeletehi carrie...i just came acrosss your blog. thanks for the tip on popcorn. i just bought a big bag of kernals because my whole family is coming in town for thanksgiving (az) and we have a tradition of placing 5 kernals of corn on each plate before we start our huge meal...just to remind us that the first pilgrims only had 5 kernals of corn rationed to them back in plymouth. now i know what to do with all my extra corn.
ReplyDeletethanks.
your blog is darling.
Canola Oil spray!! thats one of the many delish ideas ive gotten from you over the years! I've now passed it on to my roomies! We all eat our popcorn like that now!
ReplyDeletelove you!! can't wait to see you next weekend:)
xoxo, Halle
