    Default Frugal & Easy Microwave Popcorn

    Microwave just like you would any store-bought microwave popcorn bags, stopping when there are 2-3 seconds between pops.

    Open bag carefully, it will be steamy! Add toppings, such as a little butter and salt, close the bag and shake. Enjoy!

    Okay, now I'm annoyed that I JUST threw out (as of yesterday) a bunch of brown paper lunch bags that I have had for ages and never used! They would have been perfect to try this!

    Hey I just saw this on Rachel Ray not too long ago! I was surprised at how easy it was to do when I tried it.

    I got a really cool glass popcorn microwaving bowl at a thrift store for $2.00. The only problem is it is a pain to wash out because little kernel bits stick to the glass. I guess I will be buying a pack of paper bags next time I am in the store!
