Bending the Rules

I’m not allowed to keep bags of popcorn kernels in the house. It’s a safety-comes-first type of rule. The temptation is just too great to pour them into a pot, heat it uncovered on the stove, and watch as the fluffy white morsels explode out and rain down on the kitchen floor.

 

Instead, I’m required to have adult supervision whenever I make a popcorn snack. No picking super small pots or hiding all of the lids. (Yes, I’ve tried…)  

 

But after discovering this little microwave trick, I can cook all of the popcorn I want, all by myself! It’s practically foolproof and only takes 2 minutes to make a bowl of hot homemade popcorn. What are you waiting for—I’m already munching on mine!

Add whatever seasonings and toppings you like! Salt, butter, cinnamon sugar: the possibilities are endless!

⅓ c. popcorn kernels

1 paper bag (lunch bag size)

1. Pour the popcorn kernels into the paper bag, and fold the top of the bag over twice. Lay the bag, sealed side down, in the microwave, and heat for 2 min. Be careful of the steam when opening the bag, and discard any unpopped kernels.
