Introduction

We subscribe to the "Don't eat anything you can't pronounce." theory in our house. Those microwave bags have trans fats - even when the label says "zero" it can have them! Splurge on a homemade treat that will have tossing the microwave popcorn packs in the trash. This is REAL popcorn. The butter and the oil mean that a 2-3 cup serving will satisfy you (instead of the WHOLE micro bag). We subscribe to the "Don't eat anything you can't pronounce." theory in our house.
