Popcorn 3 Ways

POPCORN
2 Tablespoons Oil
1/3 Cup Popcorn Kernels
Add oil and 3 kernels to a pot on high heat. Once the kernels have popped add the rest of the popcorn and the lid, shaking and letting the pot “breathe” until the popping has slowed to once every 2 or 3 seconds. Turn off heat and pour popcorn into a heat safe bowl.

CARAMEL
1/3 of the popcorn
2 Tablespoons Salted Butter
1/2 Cup Maple Syrup
Boil the butter and syrup until it starts to “burn” a little and smells like roasted marshmallows. If you want to be fancy you can get a candy thermometer. ;D
Throw in 1/3 of the popcorn and stir. Transfer immediately to a parchment lined pan to cool completely until hardened.

Note: Some people add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda and/or bake at 250F for 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes instead of waiting for it to cool and consuming ASAP. If you have the patience for that more power to ya! Hehe. 😛

CHILI LIME
1/3 of the popcorn
2 Tablespoons Butter
1 Tablespoon Chili Lime Seasoning (*Also Available Here: http://amzn.to/2i84V1k)

NUTRITIONAL YEAST
1/3 of the popcorn
2 Tablespoons Butter
1 Tablespoon Nutritional Yeast Flakes (*Also Available here: http://amzn.to/2i8hidF)

CASHEW CREAMER

3 cups water
1 cup cashew peices
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 dropper hazelnut stevia

Add all ingredients to blender jar. Blend on high for 2 minutes.

I use a high speed blender, so I don’t need to strain it. If you use an inexpensive blender you may want to strain it before use. It will be really frothy at first (perfect for a latte!), but will settle over time. This creamer will separate in the refrigerator because it has no emulsifiers or hydrogenation to keep it together…that’s a good thing! Shake before pouring and you’re all set!

I make a batch every 5 days or so. It only takes a couple minutes once you’ve made it a couple times! You may want to make a half batch if you don’t drink a lot of coffee or only have one person drinking coffee in your house.  I buy a lot of these ingredients in bulk from Azure Standard or Costco to save money!  <3

Options:
If you prefer dairy you could substitute the cashews and water with half and half. Instead of coconut sugar you could use sucanat, pure cane sugar, or more maple syrup. You could try almond extract instead of vanilla or try english toffee or vanilla creme stevia. The possibilities are endless! You could even add a spoonful of canned plain pumpkin and your favorite spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or allspice to make a pumpkin spice latte! I’d love to see what you come up with!

WHAT I EAT IN A DAY

What I eat in a day! My version of healthy meal ideas. I’m a stay at home homeschool mom who loves food! I believe in everyone finding an eating style that makes them feel their best and going with it! Of course I don’t eat the same thing every day and some days I eat more, or less, but this is a descent representation of how I like to eat. I try to eat as much from scratch as possible when I’m at home and then let loose and enjoy myself when I’m out with other people. I’d love to hear about your version of healthy down in the comments! What are your favorite kinds of meals? 🙂
