When I want a little sweet treat I make smoothies.

My base is always frozen banana + milk + oats then do one of these:

Cinnamon + vanilla

Pumpkin + pumpkin spice+ brown sugar

Strawberries/blue berries

Cost like under a dollar to make a good cup and they are pretty filling.

Popcorn with garlic powder, Parmesan, and black pepper.

35¢ of ingredients for a gourmet-feeling snack.

Oooh great shout! Now remembering how crazy we would go with the little $20 popcorn machine my mom bought.

And does it just stick? If so what's the trick? I pop my popcorn, and it must be some crazy salt resistant mutation. I have ground the salt up in a blender, bought the popcorn salt, etc and it's like the popcorn has some defense mechanism.

I mean a small amount of oil usually helps.

Tried Flavacol?

[-] FigMcLargeHuge@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

I had no idea that existed. Thanks! I am going to order some.

[-] JetpackJackson@feddit.de 1 points 5 months ago

No problem! Glad I could help, hope it works for you!

You're not using enough oil when you pop, or you're not seeing it soon enough after removing it from the heat.

I am popping it in a microwave silicon popper. Does a great job popping, but I might have to go back to the oil method and a metal bowl. Thanks.
