Celebrate National Popcorn Day with a healthy version of the snack
01.01.70
Butter and salt aren't the only popcorn toppings. Keep it healthy while adding flavor with any of these:
Garlic salt Cinnamon Chili powder Bacon salt Packaged popcorn seasoning like Archer Farms brand Sea Salt and Vinegar, or Kettle Corn (but check the labels and don't overdo it) A spritz of olive oil
— Kara Yorio
SIMON'S POPCORN
1/2 cup popcorn kernels Flavored cooking spray (butter, olive oil or garlic) Garlic salt or cinnamon
Place popcorn in a 2 1/2-quart, microwave-safe container; cover and cook at high power 4 to 5 minutes, or until popcorn is popped but not scorched.
If the microwave oven does not have a rotating turntable, use oven mitts to grasp and shake the covered container after 3 minutes of cooking.
Immediately pour the popcorn onto a baking sheet and coat with cooking spray.
To further flavor the popcorn, immediately sprinkle on your favorite seasoning blend such as garlic salt or cinnamon.

01.01.70
Has helped millions make everything easier, and now by the Grace of the App God, they’re launching their most ingenious title yet,
“Surviving Mom’s Day Off.”
This remarkable App will give spouses, children, friends of your children and even the family pet strategic ways to navigate through some of the family’s most unthinkable nightmares — taking over the menial household responsibilities for a day or worse — longer!
Let’s get started!
When your download is complete, you’ll have a helpful index to guide you through the plethora of duties that mom (or in some cases — dad!) handles 24/7. A little sampling (because Lord knows there is no way we can list them all in one sitting!) is shared below:
Kitchen Duties
The Dishwasher — though it’s been said more times than Charlie Sheen’s been in rehab — it’s never a good idea to just load the dishwasher with the meal still attached. Gently scrape the large items such as chicken bones, crusts of bread and the skins of the baked potato into the garbage first then load. Keep this in mind for items on silverware such as peanut butter, cream cheese and the cat’s liver pate. This will help keep the blades of the dishwasher from clogging on a weekly basis.
