Microwave Popcorn, HACK, What?!

 Friends! Friends! FRIEEENNNDDSS!!

Listen, if we are going to be friends, we have to make sure to keep each other in the know about things. How come so many of my friends have known about this popcorn hack and never shared it with me? Some of you I will give the benefit of the doubt because we just met. BUT, if you have known me and this is how you have been making popcorn…..why the hold out?

Simple, easy, and affordable. Three of my favorite things! Now mind you, safety is always first. This may not be for everyone. Although, many friends have said they have been making their popcorn this way for years, please make sure to be careful, so as not to get burned or cause damage. Children should be assisted by an adult. 

Now, when I saw this I had to try it, because it’s so quick and easy. Movie night will never be the same.



Tips: I like melted butter on the raw kernels before popping. However, to avoid getting melted butter everywhere, you can pour over cooked popcorn instead.

Use sturdy paper lunch bags. Thin bags work, but, be sure to wipe out the microwave after each batch. 

There are so many topping options, and flavors. Try using white cheddar, and dried Rosemary for a “gourmet” popcorn. Or, for sweet and salty, add in pretzels and drizzle with milk chocolate and caramel. Or, stick to popcorn salt and butter. Whatever you like to do!! 


Ingredients 

1/4 Popcorn kernels

Brown paper lunch bag

1TBSP butter 

Popcorn salt


I mixed the kernels in the butter and sprinkled the salt, then I add to the bag. You can omit the butter, until after the popcorn is cooked if you like. 

Shake all ingredients in the bag. Fold the bag a couple times leaving room for the popcorn to expand

Cook for 1 and 1/2 to 2 mins, but watch the popcorn. When the popping slows take it out the microwave! Don’t burn it. 

Pour into a bowl and season with your favorite seasoning or toppings. ENJOY!!

Easy Stuffed Bellpeppers with no tomato sauce

 Hey!  I love  vegetables. I especially am a fan of a bell pepper, red green yellow, yummy! Bell-peppers are versatile, you can eat em topped with cream cheese, or use in a recipe, or you can stuff them with your preferred ingredients. I often cook with bell pepper. I know there are people out there that are not fans of the yummy vegetable, which WHAT?! But, if you are a fan, I have a delicious recipe for you for stuffed peppers, that will have you doing a happy dance because they are so good child!! The ooey-gooey cheese, mixed with rice and meat, and stuffed inside the crunchy, sweet pepper is so DELICIOUS! I was eating the meat mixture as I was preparing this dish, by the time the peppers were done I was so full.  Does anyone else eat as they are cooking? Let’s talk about that in another blog, LOL. Stay focused, Angel.. NOTE: You can leave the bell pepper whole, or, cut them length wise, which makes it easier to just pick em up and bite em. Either way, make sure t...

Has there ever been a thing you have loved to do but, you couldn’t get out of your own head about it? Or, maybe you love multiple things, so, you couldn’t pick the one that stands out to you the most. Or, or, or, you are presented with opportunity’s and get rich quick schemes that you know you will be good at, so the one thing you love or are truly good at gets left behind or misplaced, to pursue those things? In any case, I am this person. Stay with me this will make sense in a minute. Keep reading…. I am good at a lot of things. You need help planning an event, decorating for a party or home?  I’m your girl . I can sell water to a fish, manage a business, do hair and nails. I have sold Tupperware, MaryKay. Etc.

You know how they say, if, you are single, looking for love, to stop looking, because, the pers...

I Don’t Know What I am Doing

 I have no idea what I am doing. I have always wanted to share my love for cooking, and trying new ideas and recipes. For like 10 years, I have wanted to share,  but I have been super nervous about it. My anxiety is on 12,000 as I type this. Despite not knowing where to begin, what to post, what to talk about, here I am… then there is the whole what if people don’t like my content. My goodness, the pressure!!  I watch all the cooking videos, blogs, and ideas of other moms, and creators, each one more intimidating than the next one. To be honest, creating this blog, and opening myself up to others comments is a huge, huge deal for me. So be patient with me, as I learn to navigate the blog lifestyle. I have content on Instagram, TikTok  and one video on YouTube posted almost a year ago. Again, I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I AM DOING!! My goal is to be consistent, and intentional. My goal for this blog is to make some friends, share some recipes, trade ideas and hopefully get my ...
