Sneaky Advertisers made me think that you needed a fancy popcorn machine to make your own homemade popcorn! Therefore by default you should purchase the microwave stuff in the bags. Well not anymore!!! (Good by Preservatives!)You can actually make the best popcorn in your own skillet on your stove top.
What you need:
Skillet
Stove
Oil (preferrably Olive)
Maybe Butter and Salt depending on your tastes
Popcorn Kernels
What to do:
Thinly coat the bottom of a cold skillet(maybe 10") with the oil. Place a single kernel in the middle of the pan and cover with a lid. Turn heat to medium high. When you hear the first kernel 'pop' then take off the lid and add about a 1/4c worth of popcorn. Cover the skillet with the lid and then gently move the pan over the heat. Remove from heat when you hear the popping slow down(approx. 1 min.) Voila! You have great tasting popcorn. I do like to add a tiny bit of butter and salt but it doesn't need much!
What a great way to start out the new year whether you are watching tons of football or movies, wanting to eat healthier, or looking for great tasting fresh food!
I have to give credit to my sis-in-law Kamie Harris for such a fabulous treat. I had it at her house and was in love. I was a little scared to make it because I thought it would burn but I made two batches tonight and it is as easy as turning on the stove!! (just don't get antsy and take off the lid... explosion!)
Let me know if you made it and what you think...

I need to try this! We used to make it like that when I was little before my mom got a popcorn popper and I forgot all about it. I always read that plain popcorn is healthy but think I can't make it since I don't have a popper. So I'll have to give it a try and I'll let you know how it goes!
So happy it worked out for you!!!! I love tht stuff...Good source of fiber too!!!!! LOVE YOU GUYS AND MISS YOU SOOOOOO MUCH:(!!!!
Homemade popcorn is great, we used to make it with a cast iron skillet while camping . You should try making some savory popcorn and while its hot sprinkle parmesan cheese and your fav herb, like fresh thyme! Or drizzle warm white chocolate over it!! both yummy!
Those are good tips Whitney- others probably know how to make popcorn but this is new for me!! I am addicted. I want to try the parmesean one:)
April, I was so surprised to see your comment on my page and I have now been occupied for a while reading blogs of people that I haven't talked to, or seen in so long!!!! I will email soon! Carrie
