Healthy Microwave Popcorn Trick
Last week I was asked to speak to a group of kindergarten, 1st and 2nd graders about nutrition.
I thought I’d share the healthy popcorn trick I taught them. With this trick, you get beautiful, fluffy popcorn without using oil.
It might just help you keep your hand out of the candy dish.
