Z I don’t know bout you but I love munching on popcorn more this time of year but I don’t like cooking it in a pot. So...

take 1/4 cup of popcorn kernels and 1 tbsp of butter and place in a brown paper lunch bag. Microwave for 1:30, give it a shake and your popcorn is ready! Of course this recipe is more of a base for popcorn, if you’re a butter lovers person, salty or sweet or cheddar corn lover, just mix in your add ins to the warm bag and shake it. Some stores even have popcorn seasoning labeled as such. Either way, munch away!🍽

Here we can buy the popcorn already in the microwavable bags. So just grab the bag and pop it in there 😅 don't other people have that? Do yall have to buy seperate corn kernels??

But thank youuuuu

spent this weekend going over the work in our next issue, and snacked on this popcorn while doing it 😛🍿 our favorite kind includes a little bit of oil, and some nutritional yeast, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt + pepper (exact recipe in #chktogether)🧂🍂✨ we use an air popper we got at a thrift store, but if you have a microwave you can just use a brown paper lunch bag filled with kernels to make your own from scratch! (just fold the top over tightly - we’ve never had an explosion yet, haha) ✨🧨☁️

coloured popcorn by Copper Spice Co.

Hello all, just remembered as I was going thru some stuff at home. .. that I still have these popcorns from like spring lol

My coworker friend got me these from the St. Albert Farmers Market. These are ‘coloured’ microwaveable cob by the brand Copper Spice Co. They are a company based here in Edmonton, AB. They do not have a store but their products are sold online on their website, & they also participate in Farmers Market as well. Not sure if they are at the Edmonton ones, though.

What do they sell?

They have some cob like these, as well as various spices, which is actually their main thing! It’s pretty neat to check out but they’re very pricey! They have various salts. They also have many gift sets to choose from.

Okay, let’s try out the microwaveable cobs~

(PS: the 2 diff coloured ones result in same popcorn- I didn’t take any pictures for the 2nd one bcos. .. it’s the same!)

Each one costs $3.99, & each package comes with the cob & a paper bag. It’s just a normal brown lunch bag, but it has a BB date on it.

Instructions are NOT included anywhere in the package; nor do they have an instructions sheet at the booth (or else my coworker would have gotten me one). The instructions are on their website, when you click into the item.

“Place cob of popping corn in the included paper bag or micro-popper. Microwave 1-2.5minutes on high or until the popping stops.”

I don’t know about you. .. I guess my microwave isn’t strong. I microwaved a total of over 4mins (over 3 diff intervals) & not all of the kernels popped & a lot of the popcorn were semi-popped & not detached from the cob. I was scared of microwaving more bcos I was able to smell burnt smell =/ I’m not sure what it was from. I didn’t want my microwave to explode. ..

It gave a decent amount of popcorn but I felt so much was ‘wasted’ bcos they didn’t ‘work’ lol

So yeah. .. $3.99 for a large-ish bowl.

PS: the same thing happened for the 2nd cob, but instead of 3-internals totaling 4mins, I did it in 2 intervals of 2mins. The outcome was the same! Still lots attached to the cob & ends weren’t popped at all.

How was it????

Zero flavour.

It’s weird- not just flavour but aroma as well. My mom described it as styrofoam lol I know, not pleasing at all. But you know what, she was absolutely correct. You really need to add your own spice to it. I sprinkled salt to it but . .. I don’t know, I was not a fan. ..

I’ll always be there

Paring: Bucky x reader

Summary: you as the reader are a bit clumsy but your boyfriend Bucky is always there to catch you

Warning(s): just fluff! And spelling mistakes

—-

By nature I was clusmy. Ever sense I was born from the day I could walk to now. The amount of times I knocked over glasses, chairs, almost people too etc.. Is insane. In middle school I was given the name “clumsy Y/N” or anything related to the subject, because I’d knock over everything. And I kept that name all through high school.

I was known for working alone during labs in science because no one wanted to work with a cluts. There’s been times where I’ve accidentally spilled my lunch on people because the cafeteria was always so busy, well and my clumsiness. I started taking my lunch with me in spill free safe containers and eating in the girls bathroom to stay out of peoples way.

When I got into my first two years of college they weren’t bad. Everyone thought it was normal being my energetic self, so no one thought anything of it. But by the time the end of my third year people started to find it annoying and once again I was back in that pain I was in while I was in high school.

My last year of college was awful, while trying to work hard so I could become a lawyer i had to deal with the everyday life I had back in high school. I turned shy and didn’t talk to anyone that much. But once I got out of college I failed to succeed at being a lawyer because to most I was “to clumsy” and instead went to work as an assistant.

Being an assistant was hard from time to time, especially because you had to wear these black heels, dark brown pencil skirts, and tight white blouses. Not to mention the make up... I couldn’t even walk normally with flats or sneakers so putting me in heels was even harder because it’s already hard enough to balance in them. But me being my clumsy self I had to spend hours upon hours practicing just walking in heels so I wouldn’t screw up this job.

I worked for the famous playboy Tony Stark, I wasn’t his assistant Persay I just worked in the same building as him. I’ve seen him walk through hallways in his really expensive suits. I’ve ran into him a few times as we’ve tried to enter and exit the elevators at the same time. Or out of my clumsiness. But that’s also how I met bucky. Bucky Barnes, the man that stole my heart. He came to the tower one day with some other people of only I can assume were the Avengers.

A blush spread across my face as I got a good look at his facial features. He was really handsome. He has a small smile on his face and his eyes were twinkling with something I wasn’t quite sure what it was.

“O-Oh... Thank you” I stuttered. Embarrassed that he just saw me trip and spill coffee everywhere.

“No problem, doll” he said lovingly. His arm stableized me and helped stand. I looked down to see the coffee all over the floor and my shirt. Thank god the papers weren’t messed up though. I slowly bent down and picked up the papers, and picking up the empty coffee cup.

“Here let me help you” He said in his silky voice.

“Baby, I’m home!” Bucky Shouted bringing me out of my thoughts. I was sitting at the kitchen table, with a cup of milk. He walked into the kitchen a smile made its way to his lips when his eyes landed on my figure. I looked up at him with doe like eyes and smiled.

“How was your morning baby?” He asked as he walked up to me and kissed my forehead. I blushed and buried my head in his chest grabbing his shirt and inhaling his musky pine scent.

“It was good. Would’ve been better if you were here though...” I mumbled closing my eyes. He wrapped his arms around my waist and rubbed one hand up and down my back while the other securely held my lower back.

“I’m sorry, doll. You know I hate leaving you alone” his voice was soft and silky. It brought s special warmth to my chest that no one else’s could.

“It’s ok....” my voice was muffled by buckets training gear he was wearing.

“I’m gonna go change, love. I’ll be right back.” He whispered in my ear quickly kissing me on the lips before walking down the hall to our shared bedroom.

I sipped down the last little bit of milk from my mug and stood up to go rinse it off in the sink. I opened up the dishwasher placing the mug inside on the top shelf before shutting it. I went over to the cubaord and pulled out the chocolate and popcorn. It was only 9:03 so why not watch a movie.

I walked a little to quickly to the microwave and quickly placed popcorn bag inside setting the timer for 2 minutes. The timer on the microwave went off and I quickly opened it up and poured it in a big bowl. I grabbed the chocolate and made my way to the living room. On the way I tripped over my own feet and started falling backwards.

Right before i could hit the ground arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me up. I turned my head over my shoulder and looked to see bucky smiling at me. I looked away my eyes glossy and I let out a embarrassed sigh.

“What’s wring love..?” Bucky asked as he let me go and picked up the popcorn setting on the little table near the living room. He walked back over to me wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing my forehead.

“I-I just...”

“Take your time... I’m not going anywhere” his voice was barely audible but I still heard it. I wrapped my arms around his torso burring my face into his white muscle tank top. Probably setting his shirt a little bit with the fees years that escaped.

“I-I just feel like I’m annoying you with me being so clumsy. Y-Your always there t-to catch me.... aren’t I annoying..” I stuttered our. I’m surprised he could hear me from hoe far my face was digging in his chest.

“Doll, I find it cute! I think your clumsiness is one of the most adorable things about you. It defines you as you. And absolutely not, you are not annoying to me at all. So don’t ever think you are. Your perfect and quiet frankly, I enjoy catching you...” he smirked and kissed me.

His lips were warm and soft as they pressed against mine. I loved the way his lips fit against mine. They fit like a puzzle peice and so did our hands. One hand rubbed up and down my back as the other tangles it’s self into my hair. And my hands went to tangle in his shoulder length soft hair.

We pulled away a little out of breath. Our foreheads touching and noses rubbing against each other like little Eskimo kisses.

“I’ll always be there to catch you, doll.” He smiled placing both of his hands on my cheeks and giving me a quick peck on the lips.

“Now... lets go watch a movie” he whispered. Guiding me to the couch picking up the bowl of popcorn on the way. We cuddled together and watched movies together that night. Whole Bucky whispered sweet nothings into my ear randomly.

budget/healthy vegan grocery list & meal planning

so I do shopping for a house of 4, and one of the people I live with has type 2 diabetes. So I thought I'd share the types of things I get that are both healthy and cost effective.

Breakfast

Instant oatmeal (we buy sugar free brown sugar flavor, but you can also just buy a big tin of instant oatmeal and add stevia or sugar free maple syrup and cinnamon+allspice)

Bananas (good to add in oatmeal)

Cereal and a milk alternative (most cereals besides kellogs are vegan, try to find a cereal and milk that's fortified with b12)

French toast (mash a banana with either 3/4c milk alternative or the juice from a can of chickpeas, then add a tsp vanilla, 1-2tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp allspice. dip bread in mixture on both sides and then fry in a pan with 1 tbsp butter/coconut oil/nonstick spray on high heat and fry till desired on both sides. makes about 6 slices and is super good topped with syrup!)

Tofu scramble with toast (to make tofu scramble add onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, nutritional yeast and break up the tofu in a skillet with a fork and heat it up) goes great with a side of baked beans too

Lunch

sweet potato and beans (microwave sweet potato 6-9 minutes depending on size, rinse beans and microwave for 1-2 minutes and then season both the beans and sweet potato however you like!)

chickpea salad sandwich (microwave 1/2c chickpeas for about 25 seconds, then mash them with a fork and add 1 tbsp hummus, garlic powder, onion powder, dill weed, parsley all to taste and 1-2tsp spicy brown mustard) tomato slices are a good addition

Veggie hummus wrap (buy cauliflower and broccoli by the head, it's cheaper. Spread hummus on a tortilla. Chop up cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots(or veggies of choice) and assemble the wrap)

Dinner

Burritos (microwave instant brown rice to instructions, then add hummus and salsa. microwave beans and season as desired. assemble burrito with rice, lettuce, beans, and guacamole(optional). It's even better if you turn a skillet on high and grill the tortilla first and assemble the burrito in the skillet, then slide it onto a plate once it's nice and browned on the outside and wrap it up! Takes maybe 2 minutes extra to do this but it's so worth it)

Curried veggies with rice (I just microwave frozen veggies and then add them to whatever curry I'm making. Walmart carries a "golden curry" that comes in a shiny box and dissolves in water to make a thick curry sauce. But there are tons of other options for curry sauce out there!)

Soups like progresso (their tomato basil soup, garden vegetable, lentil soup are vegan just double check the labels!) Campbell's condensed tomato soup is also vegan. It's also really good to add some cooked rice to tomato soup!

Snacks

Cauliflower/fresh veggies or rice cakes with hummus

Popcorn (tons of "buttery" microwave popcorns are vegan. But you can also buy a jar of popcorn kernels, paper bags, and add 1c of kernels with a tiny bit of olive oil to it and fold the top of the bag so it doesn't open and microwave for 1-2 minutes or until kernels have mostly stopped popping, then add salt and/or nutritional yeast!)

Canned fruit or fresh fruit that's in season/on sale

Apples or oranges (buy them by the bag)

I'm sure there's things I'm missing and I know this list isn't super extensive but this is what we've been keeping in the house recently for dietary reasons while also being concious of our low budget. I'll add more if I think of anything but feel free to ask questions or add to this list!

Being poor while trying to eat healthy can be a challenge, but it isn't necessarily impossible either.

happy belated second birthday, empty belle vie sparkling water twelve can box. i taped you to the cabinet door under my kitchen sink to see if it was a convenient spot to store my heavy duty aluminum foil with the picture of an aluminum foil alligator on it. it was a very convenient spot.

this week, i found a purpose-built store-bought replacement for you and i brought it home. oh, but then i saw the date i had written on your side when you were put in place, and i realized how long we have been working together and how well you had done. look at you. you look as good as the day that i hung you there.

i am returning the usurper to the store. you will stay until you are no longer able. we are in this together.

Power Up with Plant Proteins

By Emilie Riddle, UVM M.S. Dietetics Intern

Getting some protein with every meal provides fuel for your active student lifestyle, helps maintain strong muscles, and keeps you feeling satisfied until your next meal. Even if you are not following a vegetarian or vegan eating pattern, plant proteins are a way to add variety and help you stay fit and healthy.

In addition to amino acids (the building blocks of body proteins), plant proteins provide fiber and nutrients like calcium, potassium, magnesium and B vitamins, while being naturally low in cholesterol, sodium, and calories. Research shows a strong link between eating patterns based on plant proteins and a reduced risk of developing chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Choosing plant proteins also helps the environment. Beef is the worst offender: if cows started their own country they would be the third largest greenhouse gas emitter, behind the U.S. and China! Cutting your consumption of meat, dairy, and eggs in half can reduce your environmental footprint by half.

Some plant proteins (soy, quinoa, and hemp) already contain all the amino acids your body cannot make for itself. For a full vegan diet, plan to include complete plant proteins or legumes every day to ensure a sufficient supply of the amino acid lysine, which is not found in high quantities in other plant proteins. Select a variety of plant proteins to ensure your body has everything it needs to build complete proteins. Even the vegetables you eat with your meal play a part, as a ½ cup serving of most vegetables has at least 2 grams of protein.

There are many plant proteins available at UVM Dining locations, including tofu, beans, seeds and sometimes nuts (at the salad bar), hummus, falafel, seitan, tempeh, peanut butter, lentils, and quinoa.

Choose Your Plant Protein

Legumes: lentils, beans, peas, peanuts/peanut butter

Soy: tofu, tempeh, edamame, soy milk

Grains: seitan, quinoa, amaranth, spelt, teff, buckwheat, oats, wheat berries, wild rice, sprouted breads

Nuts: pistachios, almonds, cashews, walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts

Seeds: pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, hemp, flax, chia

Other: nutritional yeast, spirulina

 Easy Protein Snacks

Try these simple snacks to add plant proteins to your eating pattern. Most of them are also great options to have on the go between classes and study sessions:

 ·       Nuts

·       Pumpkin or sunflower seeds

·       Roasted chickpeas or edamame

·       Trail Mix – make your own with nuts, seeds, dried fruit, dark chocolate

·       Apple, pear, carrots, or celery with peanut or other nut butter

·       Bean Salsa – mix beans with salsa and serve with tortilla chips

·       Toast with hummus or nut butter – try sprouted bread for extra protein

Microwave Popcorn with Nutritional Yeast

Cheaper than buying microwave popcorn bags, the nutritional yeast gives a “cheesy” flavor with a healthy dose of protein—2-6 grams per tablespoon, depending on the brand.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup popping corn

1-2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, to taste

Salt, to taste

Brown paper lunch bag

Directions:

Place ¼ cup popcorn kernels in bag (no staples or other metal in it). Fold the bag over a few times and place in the microwave. Microwave on high for about 2-3 minutes, until popping slows to every couple of seconds. Stop promptly to make sure it doesn’t burn! Pour into a bowl and sprinkle with salt and nutritional yeast.

How to make homemade microwave popcorn in a paper bag

I love movie theater popcorn. There’s something about the enormity of it, the sheer thrill of sitting down with a tub of popcorn as big as your torso and munching on it mindlessly for two hours straight.

Seriously — is there any other snack we can eat in such insane volume without feeling like we’re breaking a social taboo?

But I don’t get to the movies that often, and I’m not a fan of pre-packaged microwave popcorn. The fake-butter flavoring leaves a weird, filmy feeling on my tongue, reminding me that I have no idea what’s actually in the popcorn. (At least the chemical once used in the flavoring that causes a rare respiratory disease with the banal yet terrifying name of "Popcorn Lung" is now banned.)

Earn Rewards for using the Internet! Start Earning Now! 

So my husband and I started experimenting with making popcorn at home. We considered getting an air popper, but we have a small kitchen, and the thought of having to get out a stool and rummage past the unused canning equipment I once bought in a short-lived fit of ambition in order to retrieve a single-use appliance is unappealing. I tried making popcorn in a pot on the stove a few times, but could never get the heat quite right — either half the kernels wouldn’t pop or I’d overcook it. (And scorched popcorn is the worst.)

But then my husband read about a way to make popcorn in the microwave using only a brown paper lunch bag, and our household movie nights were forever changed. The method is foolproof (well, mostly — see the cautionary note below), takes less than 3 minutes, and makes popcorn that will neither leave your tongue filmy nor cause rare respiratory diseases.

Here’s how to do it:

PUT POPCORN KERNELS IN A PAPER BAG

Place ¼ cup uncooked popcorn kernels in a brown paper lunch bag. (NOTE: To avoid the possible use of metallic paints, this should be a plain, unadorned paper bag. I once used a Hello Kitty–themed paper bag, and Hello Kitty's face caught on fire.) No need to add any oil at this point — it's not necessary for cooking and it'll just soak through the bag and get your microwave all greasy.

FOLD THE BAG TO SEAL

Fold the top of the bag down about half an inch to seal it. Then fold it a second time, pressing firmly. You want to make sure the bag is securely closed so it doesn’t burst open as the kernels begin to pop.

PUT THE BAG IN THE MICROWAVE

Place the bag upright in the microwave and set the microwave on high for 2½ minutes. Then stay nearby and listen: You want to stop the microwave soon after the popping noises slow to avoid overcooking, regardless of whether or not the 2½ minutes are up. The popcorn will be ready faster if you have a powerful microwave. Open the bag carefully, keeping your face and fingers away from the steam.

Above, is your offer URL to share. When a person completes the offer, you will earn $7.48.

FLAVOR THE POPCORN

Technically, you could add your flavorings right to the bag at this point, but that can get a little messy. I like to pour the popcorn into my largest mixing bowl, mostly because I (shhh) usually make a double batch and want to have plenty of room for mixing in the toppings.

And the beauty of making homemade popcorn is that you can flavor it however you want. Like it savory? Add olive oil, Parmesan, and rosemary. Like it spicy? Add coconut oil and cayenne. Like it to leave a weird, fake-y film on your tongue? You're on your own. I like to stir in any wet toppings (like butter or oil) first to give the dry toppings (salt, spices, sugar) something to cling to.

My favorite topping is just melted butter and salt, but sometimes, when I decide to be “healthy,” I top my popcorn with delicious, virtuous-sounding products from the health food store, like nutritional yeast (or, as my Epi coworker Matt Duckor calls them, "Flavor Flakes"), which adds a salty, nutty kick, and a few drops of coconut aminos, which tastes sort of like sweet soy sauce.

And then I eat 10 cups of popcorn before deciding to go full force and raiding my kids’ candy stash. Because the only thing that compares with movie theater popcorn? Movie theater candy.

4.) If you were stranded in a zombie apocalypse with only a full, run-of-the-mill and full-of-junk vending machine for food, which items would you eat first? Ahh. That’d be hard because I’d want to spread it out as long as I could. I’d probably want to spare my favorites for last.
