I LOVE Food! 4 Days of Healthy, Gluten-Free Snacks

I love food.

Snacks. Desserts. Meals.  All of it.  One of my favorite reasons to travel is to experience the food of different places.

My favorite rule in my classroom- "You can eat in here because I WILL eat in front of you- just don't expect me to share my food."  

So when my options for food shrank significantly, I had to get creative . . . especially when it came to snacks . . . especially when it came to health.

For the next 4 days, I am sharing my favorite snacks. 

Popcorn. Salsa. Black Bean Dip. Fruit. Enjoy!

 

Day 1:  Old-Fashion Popcorn

This simple, cheap snack is addicting!

1/3 c. Whole, White Popcorn Kernels 
3 tbs. Olive Oil
Salt (to taste)

Check out the different popcorn seasoning flavors they have!  My favorite is white cheddar!

**This is a recipe for stove-top popcorn which requires a specific stove-top pot.   They can easily be found online and are totally worth it!**

Place oil in pot and turn oven eye on to high.
Pour in salt to taste and then add the kernels.  
When you hear the first kernel pop, begin turning the handle on the popcorn maker.  
Continue to turn the handle until you can count 2-3 seconds between each "pop."
Pour into a bowl & enjoy!
