Healthy Microwave Popcorn

1 brown paper lunch bag
2 TB popcorn kernels

Put the kernels in the brown lunch bag & fold the top over a couple of times. Put it in the microwave until the popping slows, about 2-3 minutes depending on your microwave.

Season to your taste. We like to spray it with olive oil (with the Misto) and sprinkle salt on it. Delicious (and healthy) snack!
