THE RUNDOWN

Sometimes you just need some popcorn to go with a movie or as a snack.  Who needs the microwave bag with a myriad of ingredients when you could just make it yourself with 3 ingredients.  Pro tips - nutritional yeast is a great alternative if you are trying to cut back on salt. You could also use coconut oil, just make sure to keep the heat lower since coconut oil has a lower smoke point.  Don't forget to save the leftovers for a snack the next day!
