Paper Bag Popcorn

By dette

Warning: This recipe will make you feel silly for having spent five times the money on microwave bags of popcorn all these yeasrs. All you really need is a paper bag and some corn kernels. You control the seasoning, and skip all the artificial flavors and preservatives. I like mine best lightly salted, but popcorn is also delicious with a sprinkle of Cajun or chesapeake seasoning. Either way, it makes movie night even more fun.

Ingredients

• 1/4 c. popcorn kernels
• 1/2 tsp peanut or canola oil
