Day 24: Homemade Microwave Popcorn

Who would have guessed that 1/2 cup popcorn kernels plus a paper bag and a few minutes in the microwave equals a delicious snack?  This is so simple!  I actually just saw this in a pin a few days ago.  I just had to try it!

Instructions:

1)  Get a paper lunch bag.

2)  Put in the bag a 1/2 cup of kernels in the bag.  I chose these red popcorn kernels. 

3) Fold the bag over twice.

4)  Put it in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, or until the popping slows to 1-2 pops per second.  (My bag took 2 minutes.)

5) Sprinkle with a little salt and butter (we used Earth Balance Whipped Spread).  Shake in bag.

6)  Enjoy!
