Forget store-bought microwave popcorn bags. You can make your own popcorn in the microwave for pennies!

You'll need...

• Brown paper lunch bag
• Whole kernel popcorn
• Seasoning (salt, brown sugar, garam masala, etc.)
• Drizzle or spritz of olive oil
  

Here's how...

Put ¼ cup popcorn into a brown lunch bag. Spritz a little bit of olive oil into the bag. Sprinkle a dash of salt and brown sugar (or any other combination of seasoning). Shake. Remove air from bag and then fold the top of the brown bag twice and then fold a small section of the corner underneath. Pop the bag into the microwave for a couple of minutes. Carefully open the bag and pour your perfectly popped popcorn into a bowl and enjoy!

Each microwave acts differently.  You may need to experiment with a few batches before finding the best timing and setting.
