30 Perfect Popcorn Recipes : How to Make Sweet & Savory Gourmet Popcorn at Home (The Green Gourmet) Lori Jane Stewart New from #1 Bestselling author Lori Jane Stewart!
Popcorn has probably been around longer than any other snack food on the planet. It has a rich history, dating back to before civilization and taking part in a multitude of events we celebrate every year. It's the most popular snack food around the world, and the second most popular snack in America (falling just behind potato chips). Popcorn can be found all over the country, at movie theaters, carnivals, and most people's kitchens or pantries.
It is a common misconception that popcorn is an unhealthy snack. The reason some people avoid popcorn is because they don't understand the real culprit! Behind its supposedly unhealthy status, are the seasonings and additives, often added to commercially packaged products to liven up the bland natural flavor and to lengthen it's shelf life. The popcorn itself is a wholegrain, and these can help prevent cancer and lower the risk of heart disease, while also supplying healthy nutrients that support our vision.
There are many different methods to create popcorn, but the basic principle stays the same. All you have to do is make the kernels hot enough to heat the moisture contained naturally inside, and turn that into steam. The steam creates pressure from inside the hard shell casing and before you know it, POP! - the kernel is turned inside out and is ready to be consumed. As long as you can generate heat and have some kernels on hand, you can make popcorn!
Enough of the history, what about the recipes? I've gathered 30 of the finest popcorn recipes from around the world for your snacking pleasure, and have tried to keep them free from artificial sweeteners, preservatives or other nasty additives wherever possible. I've specified 9 cups of popped corn for most recipes, as that gives 3 generous cups per serving - you can have as many or as few servings as you fancy, but keep an eye on the calories! For your convenience, I've also included nutritional data from the USDA for each recipe (that's the U.S. Department of Agriculture and not the United Square Dancers of America!)
My preference for both flavor and health reasons, is freshly air-popped popcorn - so I have used that kind for all of these recipes. Everything in this book can be made with kernels you have freshly popped, or if you are in a hurry (or feeling lazy!), then you can always use the plain store bought pre-popped variety - just make sure you check the packaging for artificial nasties!
Most of the ingredients for these recipes can be found at your local grocery store or deli, but if you get stuck, then the slightly more unusual ones can also be bought online via a link at the end of the book.
Enjoy preparing and sharing!

Feed Your Family on a Tight Budget Wenona Victoria One common denominator that impacts us all is money.
Another is that we all need to eat.
While considering economic states for many families, I am compelled to assemble my food budget tips for quick-reference and inspire you to look at your pantry with hope.

Fresh Fruit Quick Breads (In the Pantry Quick Breads) Joyce Middleton Ranked #1 Best Selling in Baking
Ranked #1 Best Selling in Bread
Volume 1 In the Pantry Quick Breads series
Enjoy 51 recipes using seasonal fruit; you're never without a fruit recipe all year long!
Seasonal fruit makes delicious and moist quick bread. If you would enjoy baking with fresh fruit and staples you already have in your pantry, then you'll certainly enjoy this recipe book. Too often we end up with extra fruit from our trees in the backyard or fresh fruit we purchased, but it's just sitting in the bowl. Now you have a way to use it and avoid the waste.
Not only are quick breads yummy, you can save money by doing your own baking. How much is a fabulous banana bread or blueberry bread at your local market or bakery? You can create the same delicious bread in your home; not to mention how wonderful your house will smell during and after baking your quick bread.
Take one of these quick bread recipes and convert it to muffins using the information included, if that's what you prefer. Quick bread recipes are equally good served warm, cold or even toasted for breakfast. Decorate the top of your loaf or muffins; serve with ice cream or whipping cream; enjoy with plain or flavored butter. In other words, you can't go wrong with the right quick bread recipes! You could have your next masterpiece in the oven in 15 minutes, ready to take out of the oven in the next hour!
"... Every year I end up with way too many mangoes so I was
pleasantly surprised to find a quick bread that included mango. I love
fruit bread, but avoid buying it because it is just not in my budget.
Now I'm thrilled that I can make my own, quickly and cheaply." ~ Tilly

The Skinny Rules: The Simple, Nonnegotiable Principles for Getting to Thin Bob Harper, Greg Critser THE LAST DIET BOOK YOU’LL EVER NEED
With so much conflicting weight-loss advice out there to confuse your efforts, it’s no wonder you haven’t been successful losing weight and keeping it off. But with Bob Harper, superstar trainer and co-host of NBC’s hit show The Biggest Loser as your personal authority and coach, you can and will finally shed the pounds—whether you want to lose two or two hundred!
Distilling Bob’s vast knowledge of nutrition, weight-loss strategy, and human nature down to twenty simple, nonnegotiable principles, The Skinny Rules will help you step away from a reliance on processed foods and the need for so much sweet and salt and step into a newly thin lifestyle. And Bob’s methods couldn’t be more straightforward.
Taking the guesswork out of implementing the Skinny Rules, Bob offers a month’s worth of menu plans and more than 90 delicious, rule-abiding recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks to keep you cooking and eating skinny for life. You’ll be happily astounded to see the variety and volume of the tasty food on your plate! He also includes terrific tips for what to stock in your fridge and what to prepare every weekend in order to set yourself up for success during your too-busy-to-cook weekdays.
A virtual GPS to your weight-loss goals, The Skinny Rules takes the mystery out of the process, offering the fastest route to your skinny destination.
LOSING WEIGHT IS NOW AS SIMPLE AS 1-2-3 . . . AND 3-15-18-20 TOO!
Rule #3: Eat protein at every meal, making some kind of fish your go-to protein as often as you can. Take your weight and divide it by two—that’s more or less how much protein you should be eating in grams every day.
Rule #15: Eat at least ten meals a week at home (and cook them yourself). Restaurant portions are usually 40 to 50 percent bigger than what you’d serve at home—the more you eat out, the more you overeat. Set yourself up for success by preparing my turkey meatballs, hummus, and roasted vegetables on the weekend so that you will have go-to staples and no excuses!
Rule #18: Go to bed slightly hungry. Denied fuel for more than five hours, your body will start burning its own fat and sugar. Make a point not to eat after dinner and you’ll be burning fat while you’re sleeping.
Rule #20: Enjoy a splurge meal once a week. Unlike episodic bingeing, splurge meals are an ingredient in your diet. When you plan something, you are in control. |
