Popcorn?

I pop my own and add seasonings. My current favorites are Cajun seasoning and Olivio spray butter or a half tablespoon of melted real butter with a teaspoon of brown sugar and some cinnamon mixed in. I usually pop 3 tablespoons of kernels to get about 5 cups of popcorn.0

A snack size bag of Skinny Girl popcorn is like 24 calories. I eat them every once and awhile. It's not awesome, but good enough when you're hungry and don't have many calories left.0

I love popcorn too! However, I don't do microwave. I pop it myself on the stove. It's quite easy and so much more crunchy! It's much cheaper that way too! Plus, no chemicals or preservatives.
Tastes... fresher than anything in a bag. I do try to control the amount of oil I use. I salt the oil, instead of salting after it's popped. I don't use butter because I find popped in oil is enough.0 -
I bought an air popper and buy the kernels from the grocery store. 4 cups of popped corn that way = 120 cals. FOUR CUPS. Melt a tbsp of olive oil margarine = 120 cal and add a little shaker seasoning (~ 12cals)
this lasts me two days... sometimes more.
And way better for you in terms of the crap they put in the microwave stuff... plus it's fluffier and light and fun to watch.

So I cannot be trusted with a whole bag of popcorn so I get the 100 calorie bags and just eat one of those so I am forced into serving size.0

I have a very lightweight pot with a tight lid and pop my Orville Redenbacher popcorn in it with no oil. You have to shake it the whole time to keep it from burning. I add no salt, butter, or flavorings and love it. Plus it probably uses up at least 20 - 25 calories to make it

I air pop mine and season it with Truffle Salt. Heaven!0

Here's my recipe for microwave popcorn that I used to make when I was a lazy vegan.
Popcorn kernels into a brown paper lunch bag, fold it on top, tape the bag, and microwave it. When it's all popped, spritz the inside of the bag with vinegar from a spray bottle, then add salt (and maybe herbs or whatever), then shake it.
It's lower-cal than normal microwave popcorn. But most importantly, it doesn't make your fingers smell bad once you've eaten it!0 -
Nothing wrong with popcorn.0

Today I bought all the ingredients to make that kettle corn ordeal. Well, just the unpopped pop corn really, since I had olive oil, sugar and salt. Got my pot (the utensil). I'm good to go! I have high expectations haha. I'm attracted to it being sweet and salty... and eating a bowl's worth. What to drink with this? I'm thinking diet coke and ice. Cheers!0

I ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ popcorn! I don't bother with the pre-made, microwave bags, I pop my own. In a paper bag, put 1/3 cup of kernels. Close the bag by folding it over 2 or 3 times. I put my microwave on for 3 min but never leave it that long ... After 2 min. I listen to the popping and stop it when the popping has slowed down. (Usually with my microwave it is at about 2:15 ish). Take it out sooner than later as if you leave it too long it will burn. This way you can control the amount of salt and butter you put on it!0

I am just a little bit shocked. I know it isn't a carrot and isn't healthy, but 30 calories really? Does anyone else snack on this?
How many grams per serving? Orville Redenbaucher's kettle popcorn has 100 calories for 28 grams unpopped.
Are you sure it didn't say 130? that sounds more reasonable.0 -

In that case, if you don't have one, you've got to get a Whirley Pop. They make the best old fashioned popcorn!

Avoid movie theater popcorn. I work at a theater. The kernels are okay, but the "buttery topping"...I have no idea what it is
I used to love theater popcorn, but as of late I've noticed it leaves a weird aftertaste in my mouth. For that reason, I (please don't tell one me!) sneak in my own popcorn. 0 -

yummieee (ahum 300 calories but so worth it)
Orville R.'s kernals always make HUGE popcorn! I don't have it every night for a snack, but I do like it a lot!0 -
I pop my own. Jolly time brand is about 40g for 160 calories which is about 10 cups maybe? Then I melt butter for it. It's a bigger splurge snack. Anyone know how to make home made kettle corn topping or another kind?0

i used to buy microwave popcorn all the time. we still keep it on hand for if the sitter's over or something... but once you try maing your own popcorn on the stove you will NEVER GO BACK. it is so light, airy, and delicious. I put a tablespoon of coconut oil in the pot and heat it, toss a couple kernels in to tell when its hot enough then add 1/4 cup of kernels. Most of the time the coconut oil sweetens it up just enough, occasionally we add a touch of sea salt. Either way YUMMMMMMM-OHHHH0
