Microwave Popcorn

I've been limiting myself to dinners on this blog, just because it is so easy to collect so many fun recipes which don't help you get dinner on the table...because they are desserts, appetizers, or something. But this idea was so easy and healthy and cheap I had to share.

Put 1/3 cup popcorn kernals in a brown paper lunch bag. Fold over top of bag twice. Microwave for 4 minutes. Done.

Popcorn is a whole grain, so as long as you don't drown it in butter or caramel or whatever you prefer on your popcorn, this is a great snack. If you are in the mood for a sweet treat, here is my favorite popcorn recipe:

Honey Popcorn

10 cups popped popcorn
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup honey
3 T margarine

Combine sugar, honey and margarine in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook until mixture bubbles around edges.

Pour over popped corn and mix well. Place on wax paper to cool and harden.
