Guilty Pleasure Friday: Cheesy Popcorn Edition



I am a very picky eater. I eat a rotation of maybe eight foods on a regular basis, and I'm much more of a snacker than someone who plans, cooks, and eats meals. My main food group is cheesy popcorn. It's the perfect combination of carbs and cheese, and it is delish. Full disclosure: I eat this daily...sometimes twice.

Here is what you need to do:

1. Buy a box of reduced-fat mini popcorn bags (the "reduced-fat" and "mini" are key to not being a heifer)
2. Buy a huge bag of whatever shredded cheese you love (I love extra-extra-extra-cut-my-tongue sharp cheddar)
3. Microwave the bag of popcorn (my Trader Joe's popcorn takes 2 minutes 10 seconds)
4. Dump half the bag in a small-ish microwave-safe bowl, being careful of kernels (which are like little roadside bombs in your salty treat)
5. Sprinkle a generous handful of cheese on top
6. Layer the rest of the popcorn over the cheese
7. Sprinkle an even more generous handful of cheese on top of that
8. Microwave the whole bowl for 44 seconds

I have just given you the recipe for high-grade crack. Remember, food is not love.

  1. I'm a cheese popcorn lover too, but when I want it (and that's not even close to how often you eat it!) I head to the store and buy "Smart Food" popcorn. It has white sharp cheddar cheese!!!!! ^_^ The only drawback is having to eat the leftover sticky cheese goodness off of your fingers when you're done...Did I say 'Drawback'?! LOL

  5. Ha ha I love it. I am a sharp cheddar girl too, and also rotate about 8 foods. Some really weird ones at that. Canned cooked carrots? Now tell me, that is so weird right?
