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.

        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.
