Want to know how to make healthy microwave popcorn? I’ll tell you in a minute:
This morning we went to Gossett’s Indoor Farmer’s Market again. Landon must have had 5 samples of grass-fed Angus sausage and bread with butter each — I finally had to pry him away from the samples.
Don bought a fruit tart and some wine, and I got some vegetables, yummy bread, and one cob of dried, red corn to make popcorn. I was instructed to just put the corn into a regular paper bag and pop it in the microwave, and that sounded like so much fun that I just had to try it out.
I never have enough time to look at all the cute new things they have at Cottage Antiques next door. Today, I hardly had time to say hi to the owner, Lisa, but my goal for my next visit is to buy at least one of her adorable treasures.
Back at home, this:
turned into this after two minutes in the microwave:
With a little bit of sea salt for seasoning, this turned into a fun, quick, healthy snack that’s like a science project for kids.
The next time you see dried corn at a market, find out if you can buy some to make popcorn with! It’s cheaper and more health than packaged microwave popcorn. I bought my corn for $1 and it made more than a regular bag of microwave popcorn.
