Pineapple and Popcorn

For Monday's lunch, I have a ham and pineapple skewer, green pepper strips, grapes, Triscuit thin crisps (love those!), and chocolate chips.  










Since I have a rather long meeting after school, I wanted to pack a snack.  So, I'm bring popcorn!  Not the pre-packaged-full-of-chemicals microwave stuff, but do-it-yourself microwave popcorn!  I found THE RECIPE this spring on Allrecipes.com.  I was skeptical.  But it really works!!!  I measured 3 TBSP of popcorn and mixed it with 1/2 tsp of olive oil and sprinkled in a little salt.  I put that in the PlanetBox Little Dipper.  I'll dump the oil-coated kernels into the brown bag and keep the bag closed with the toothpick...2 min in the microwave...and...fresh popcorn! 


Added to What's For Lunch Wednesday...tons of great ideas over there!
