Recipe-Homemade Popcorn

Well, I was checking out Hip2Save just a second ago and she had her version of homemade popcorn, and it made me think of what I do, when I make my own at home.

Many of you know that I am a Weight Watcher and have been for almost 5 years, hence the reason why I am struggling these past two years. I was a PERFECT Weight Watcher before and now I am not so. I struggle BIG TIME now. Anyway, as a Weight Watcher or ANYONE who likes popcorn, this is great and "frugal." Here is what I do....

1 brown paper bag (you know, the kind that you would send a lunch in)
3 staples or 1 piece of tape
1/4 cup of popcorn (I buy my popcorn at Winco for like $0.38 a pound)

Pour your popcorn into the bag. Fold the top of the bag over two times, about 1/4 fold. Then, either staple it three times (one on each edge) OR tape it shut (about 2 inch long tape). Then, put it in the microwave for a good 2 minutes and 40 seconds or so. You will have to listen for the pop, as each microwave is different.

When it starts getting longer in between the pops, then it is time to pull it out. Viola, your homemade, mini bag of popcorn is done. Now, you can season it and do whatever you want to it.

This is how I do MY popcorn at home. This is especially good for those of you trying to watch your sodium intake. You actually have control of what is going on your popcorn.

I count this as 1 point. I also either use my "good" oil for the day for this. So, two teaspoons of Canola oil, then some spray butter and Kernal Seasonings. YUMM!!! You can even use Pam for some spray.

Anyway, this is how the popcorn is made in our house, unless we are making a whole bunch. It is really really convenient and super easy.

By the way, no flying sparks when using the staples. This is the way I did it for a longtime before I ran out of staples. :) Now, I just use tape.

Enjoy!

I am not.....

100% yet, but I am missing you all and feeling really guilty that I have not been posting, so I wanted to get on here and see if we could find anything.

I still have "the crud" as Leah, from The Coupon Posse' put it. I have been battling with my asthma a bit, but I am hoping that I don't have to go to the doc. So, keep your fingers crossed.

Anyway, "they" say you have to feel a cold right? Well, let me tell you that I will NOT be weighing in this weekend, as I think I overfed mine. :( I REALLY didn't care and I binged AGAIN! I CAN'T BELIEVE MYSELF!!!!! AGAIN!!!! REALLY??!!!!!

Anyway, I'm pseudo on track, although I just had a Fudge Shoppe Jumbo Peanut Butter stick. It WAS good. No more though.

Anyway, I'm off to see about finding us some deals......

Cheryl

P.S. Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I hope you all had a happy Valentines day. I think my kiddos did. :)

Hey everyone.....

I am REALLY sick over here. It is taking EVERYTHING in me to stay awake to try to get my regular work done this morning. Deadlines ya know? I'm supposed to bake cookies for Faith's Valentine's Day party, but I don't think I'm even gonna do that. Luckily, I have some store-bought cookies (Keebler) on-hand that I think I am going to send with her. I have battling this "cold" thing for six days and it REALLY does seem to be getting worse than better. I do tend to scare myself a little as I have asthma and so I get scared that things like this are going to affect my asthma, which would not be good. There's nothing like feeling like you can't breathe. :(

Anyway, I am going to try to finish up my work, get the kiddos ready for school, get Faith to school, and Blakey willing, GO back to sleep. I do want to go shopping, but I just might keep my butt home this morning. (I wanna see what Target has for ya'll). I dunno, we'll see.....

Okay, I will talk to you all later.

Thanks for your patience. :)

Do you have an addiction?

Well, let me clarify that. As a couponer, I think that we all have "favorite" things to purchase with our coupons. I have recently discovered that I have a really hard time passing up hair products that I have coupons for. Something I always relay to people when I'm talking about couponing is BC (before couponing) I used to just ALWAYS buy the cheapest hair products there were. NEVER would I buy Finesse, John Frieda, Garnier, etc. That stuff was waaaaay too expensive for me. Right? So, now that I coupon I can buy "the good" stuff and I DO, but not only do I buy "the good" stuff, IT'S USUALLY FREE or pretty darn close. Right? So, I walk into Rite Aid the other day and they have a whole bunch of John Frieda, Finesse, Got2B, Nexxus, and whatnot on clearance for 50% off, most of it still too much for me, EVEN with a coupon, EXCEPT the Got2B hair spray. So, I have a printable that was available a while back that is expiring on Monday, so I got my little coupon out and used it. I JUST had to use it. ;) I have been telling myself that I do not need shampoo, conditioner, hair spray, but seriously I just CAN'T pass up super cheap/free hair products I EVEN bought more Finesse. Hey, it was free!!! I do go through a lot of hair products and I just cannot stand the thought of having to pay for it.

So, what is your coupon addiction? I know you have one. :)

Kraft Raising The Price of Food :(

I have been hearing here and there that many companies are raising the cost of their products. Well, so far, this is the first one I have seen. I heard that Kellogg AND Smucker's made an announcement, but I have yet to find it, but when I do, if I do, I will share. Okay, so here is what I came across.....

This article is a great article and was written by.......... Sarah Skidmore, AP Food Industry Writer, On Thursday February 10, 2011, 8:32 pm EST


PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Kraft Foods Inc., like many of its peers, is feeling some pricing pressure.
The company reported Thursday that price increases it made to cope with higher ingredient costs are not going to be enough to sustain its profitability and it plans further hikes this year.
As one of the world's largest food companies, Kraft is feeling the pinch from higher costs for wheat, corn, sugar and other commodities.
The company already raised prices on most of its products in Europe and more than half in North America. But it said its input costs rose nearly $500 million during the fourth quarter and its profit margins suffered accordingly.
Company leaders expect costs will remain high for the year, but they said profit margins should recover in the second half of the year as price hikes begin to offset those costs.
Kraft is one of many food makers talking about price hikes to cope with increased costs. In the past two weeks, Kellogg Co., Sara Lee Corp. and J.M. Smucker Co. also announced them.
This is only part of the article. If you are interested in reading the rest, just go on over here to get the rest of it.

Thanks!
