Popcorn

Tue, 08 Jan 2008 from Donna

Thought your readers might enjoy a very easy, very healthy (totally non-fat) way to make popcorn (I liked the one suggestion using olive oil.)

1/4 cup unpopped popping corn

1 brown lunch bag

Place corn kernels in lunch bag. Fold at end 2-3 times. Place in microwave on High for 2-3 minutes, until kernels stop popping. Enjoy! More of the kernels will pop with repeated refills as the bag gets hotter. Just leave the unpopped kernels in the bag for the next serving.

Sat, 20 Jan 2007 from Sheri

I have found popcorn to be a very good and enjoyable snack during the Daniel Diet. I have a new whirly-pop popcorn cooker that cooks popcorn with only 1 teaspoon of oil. I use olive oil. The popcorn is fantastic! It's much better than corn cooked in an air popper. I've also tried some packaged cooked popcorn called 'Organic Popcorn' that is lightly salted. You can buy this at Tom Thumb grocery stores, and it's delicious. I've read a lot about popcorn being one of the most toxic items people eat, due to the pesticides and sprays put on the corn before harvesting. Go organic for your health!

Cantaloupe Tonight Melon Smoothie

I came across this recipe from the Vegan Planet Cookbook called Cantaloupe Tonight Melon Smoothie. I was looking for something to have as a fruit snack, or eat for breakfast. My teenage son loves smoothies, and when you restrict dairy, it's hard to find something that will satisfy you, unless you use soy milk. Here's what's in the recipe:

    * 1/2 medium-size cantaloupe, seeded and cut from the rind.

    * 1/2 cup orange juice

    * Juice of 2 limes (taste before you add all the juice at once)

    * 1 medium-size, banana, peeled and cut into chunks

    * Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

    * our addition: 2 cups of ice cubes - makes it like a frozen ice drink.

Mix all in a blender, and serve. Serves 2
