Paper Bag Popcorn: Healthy Mommy Snacking Idea!


A while back I was discussing with a another mom about my family's love of popcorn. We use an air popper but once the baby is in bed it is a little loud and usually wakes him up. Then another mom brought this wonderful idea to light and we tried it last night and it is awesome! And for those of you who buy bags of popcorn, this way is just as easy and less expensive...and doesn't have anything added so it's healthier!

All you need is:
Popcorn Kernels
Brown Bag
Tape (to keep it shut)

Put about 1/4 cup of kernels in the unopened brown bag. Fold the end over and put a piece of tape to hold it closed.

Place the bag in the microwave so the bottom is facing up, so that it can expand. Time varies for every microwave. Start with 3 minutes and listen for the popping to decrease to two or three seconds in between pops.

Open carefully, it will be hot. Add popcorn toppers if you like them or eat it plain!


We will be doing this if we feel like popcorn while the baby is in bed. Another interesting idea that I will be trying will be popcorn french toast.  Brilliant! Another great idea shared between momstown mamas!
Thank you momstown member Vicky for passing this idea on!
