Stove Popped Popcorn

I pretty much love popcorn. It's yummy. And so easy to make. And I passed this love along to my daughter as well. I'd really just stick a bag in the microwave, heat it up for a few minutes and voila! It'd be ready. 

But it never really had that quality taste to it. I dunno about you guys, but I'm a fan of movie popcorn. With some a lot of butter and salt. Yummy. So I wasn't too surprised when I started my healthier eating kick, to see NINE ingredients listed on the back of the microwave popcorn box. NINE. Disgusting. It's just supposed to be POPPED corn for goodness sake!

So one day while walking down the aisle of my local grocery store, I noticed it. Kernels. Popping kernels. For Stove Popped Popcorn. This couldn't be. It just couldn't be real!

So I bought two bags and started popping my own popcorn. And OMG, I was THRILLED to have it taste like some movie style popcorn. MMM, MMM, MMM

The first night I added real butter to it w/ lots of salt. And I was in heaven. One night I added Lawry's seasoned salt. Another night, garlic salt. Another night, furukake. You can see where this is going...

It was delicious. And the ONLY way to eat popcorn. Seriously. Do yourself a favor and throw the bagged popcorn away and buy this. Throw a little bit of oil in the pan, pop, toss with some olive oil and salt and HELLO, little taste of Heaven. *sigh* This is a snack to die for.
