Add 1/2 c. popcorn. Put lid on pot, shake kernels so they are coated with coconut oil. Keep lid on as corn pops, occasionally shaking pot to keep bottom kernels from scorching. When popping slows to 3 seconds between pops, remove pot from heat, pour popcorn into bowl. Pour over 1/2 c. melted butter. Sprinkle with sea salt. Toss and enjoy! 6) Recommended by Hangout Group:Fresh 20 : http://www.thefresh20.comPlan to Eat : http://www.plantoeat.comPepperplate : https://www.pepperplate.comE-Meals : http://emeals.comPrepDish : http://www.prepdish.com Mel’s Kitchen cafe : http://www.melskitchencafe.com Cheap Good Eats : http://goodcheapeats.comTwo posts about meal planning: Nester’s Meal Planning Secrethttp://www.thenester.com/2011/11/imperfect-flexible-do-able-meal-blueprint.html Rachel Anne Ridge’s Meal Planning Guidehttp://www.homesanctuary.com/rachelanne/2015/01/best-ever-no-fail-super-easy-menu-plan.html Everyday Foodhttp://www.marthastewart.com/946620/everyday-food-sarah-carey Find Kelly on her blog, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram!
