Old Fashioned Pop Corn
Have you ever made popcorn on the stove? It’s so much better than the microwave kind, or even air pop for that matter. The kernels pop up light, fluffy and crisp.
It’s so easy to make and you can keep it healthy by simply adding a touch of salt, or a sprinkle of flavors, or you can make it as a very special treat by drizzling melted butter over the top.
Anyway you dress it up, it will be delectable.
Home Style Popcorn on the Stove
Ingredients:
Popcorn Kernels (do check the date for freshness, it does go stale)
Coconut Oil or any oil you prefer. I chose coconut oil for it’s health benefits and fabulous taste.
Your choice of topping
Large pan with lidTo the large pan, over medium to medium high heat, add 2 Tbl. of coconut oil, or preferred oil, and allow to melt
put on the lid.
When the oil is melted, add in 2 kernels of popcorn and When you hear the popcorn kernels pop, take them out 
Now add in 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels 
Put the lid on and move the pan back and forth over the burner. This keeps the popcorn from burning on the bottom
Keep the pan moving and when you hear the popcorn popping slowing down, take off heat and wait until there is no more popping sound to avoid getting burned from a stray popping kernel. 
Pour out and enjoy with melted butter, salt or any of your favorite seasonings.

Recognize a blessing and be a blessing today.
I haven’t had old fashioned popcorn in ages, but you totally brought me back on this one. Now, I totally want to try your recipe and might have to for the girls the weekend. Thanks Carrie and have a great weekend now, too 🙂
Carrie,
This brings back so many memories. We cooked a lot of popcorn on the stove. I love your seasonings. We were to dumb back them to season it or maybe seasoning was not invented. Anyway, I am going to have to show my kids how to make popcorn on the stove. Maybe Today!
Blessings,

I will have to try this – reminds me of growing up my parents used to make it this way or my grandmother. We have an air popper that we use a lot. I like the idea of using the coconut oil.
My kids always make their own popcorn on the stove…no microwave here. They love it that way…tastes so much better!
When I was little I remember popping popcorn on the stove (I think it was the Jiffy Pop kind). My kiddo has too many sensory issues to try something like that with now. Thanks for sharing this on #yuckstopshere link up. Please come share some more with us next week.
Oh yum! Pinned. Hugs! Lou Lou Girls
I always use my hot air popper. I’ll have to do this with the kids sometime! Thanks for linking up to the Tasty Tuesday’s Linky Party. I’ve pinned this post to Creative K Kids’ Tasty Tuesdays’ Pinterest Board.
