Snack happy


Try as I might to retrain my brain, the word "snack" still tends to conjure up visions of junk food and/or the traditional milk and cookies after school. But there is an exception. One that I've never had to alter at all. You know it. It's popcorn. Don't you love snacks that involve eating air? Old blue eyes (aka Paul Newman) is serving up 3.5 cups here at 120 calories. And my kids love it too. One throws the popped pieces to the other who pretends she's a dog begging for treats. I promise you that if you play the dog with her, it takes a very long time to make your way through 3.5 cups.

  2. Love popcorn, love those little 100 calorie bags, love that you can just throw them in a micro wave and I love the idea of someone trying to throw it in my mouth......that would definitely make the snacking last longer.

    P.S. Also love the picture that goes with this post.

  4. I love popcorn, too, and a lot of brands have switched to canola oil, a much healthier choice. So now I can snack guilt-free.
