    Good Morning! I hope everyone enjoyed their Valentine's Day. I did a poll recently on Instagram to see what kind of recipes that you all are looking for. One of my goals with this blog is to make sure that I'm putting recipes out there that everyone finds useful and that they want to cook. In the poll, quite a few people opted for comfort food, but the majority wanted more healthy recipes. Unanimously everyone voted for snacks over desserts. So, today, I'm sharing with you one of my favorite healthy snacks, Coconut Sriracha Popcorn.
    Coconut Sriracha Popcorn

    When I was a little girl, I remember my mom making popcorn and hot chocolate as an after-school snack on rainy days. It was one of my favorite things and is a tradition that I have carried on with my kids to this day. I like coming with different flavors for their popcorn too, just to make it fun! This is a flavor combination that I came up with a while ago and I have to say, it's one of my favorites. My husband and I like to make this when we are watching movies or just as a fun afternoon snack. I try to double this sometimes to make it last for a while, but it usually doesn't make it through the day! It's a little bit sweet and a little bit salty and has a decent spicy kick to it.Coconut Sriracha Popcorn

    Typically, I will keep a supply of popcorn kernels in my pantry that I purchase in bulk. I prefer this over using microwave bagged popcorn. The microwave bags usually have quite a bit of butter and salt. Yes, I know that's what makes them so good, however, we are trying to come up with healthy snacks to eat, remember? If you don't have a popcorn popper, have no fear, you can still make delicious popcorn in a snap. The brown paper lunch sack method I have listed in the recipe below is one my sister showed me a while back and it works great! Feel free to kick up the sriracha a bit if you like. The amount listed is a good balance in my opinion, but I have been known to add in a bit more when I'm feeling spicy!

      I really love this recipe! I have made it many times and it is always a hit. It hits both my need for sweet and salty/spicy at the same time. I have never popped popcorn in the microwave in a paper bag but it worked like a charm. I would definitely recommend this recipe! It is so quick and easy.
