word of mom: healthier microwave popcorn

Angela Tung | Frankfurt, GERMANY

I love the convenience of microwave popcorn, but I'm not a fan of all the chemicals and preservatives in store-bought brands. So, I've come up with an easy way to make perfect popcorn without the additives (or the greasy pot): Mix desired amount of popcorn kernels with canola or olive oil (it also works without any oil).  Pour the popcorn mixture into a brown paper lunch bag.  Fold over top of bag so popcorn won't escape.  Pop in microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes, and remove when the popping slows down.  Open the bag carefully and season with salt or your other favorite topping.  Pour into serving bowl or eat directly out of the bag, and enjoy!
