Kernel Season's Butter Flavored Popcorn Seasoning Review

This morning I was feeling pretty good. I was in the mood to get some things done. I started the day off with a big cup of coffee (half caf) and a big cinnamon roll with a cup of applesauce. I actually had 2 cups of coffee. 

By the time I'd finished my coffee, I was ready to get some things done. I started with the kennel dining room. It was such a nice day I put the dogs outside and did a thorough cleaning of their space. I washed all their bedding, vacuumed & mopped the floors the floors. It's nice to be able to clean with the pups out of the way. 

Later I took a break from cleaning and fixed lunch. I made another veggie dog using my favorite Veggie Patch brand and the same toppings as yesterday, a slice of colby pepper jack cheese and salsa. I had some of the yellow rice with my veggie dog.


After lunch I went out and worked in the yard. I mowed some with my reel mower. I took a break and had a bowl of peanut butter cheerios. I cleaned up some in the kitchen before going back outside.
 
 I got most of the backyard done. I didn't realize how late it was when I came back in. I made a little popcorn in the microwave. using the paper bag method. I put a quarter cup of popcorn in the bag, folded the bag to prevent the popcorn from coming out and put it in the microwave for 2 1/2 minutes.

I then added some Kernel Season's Butter Flavored Popcorn Seasoning. This is not the greatest seasoning. It doesn't stick to the popcorn very well. I sprayed the popcorn with butter flavored cooking spray to help the seasoning stick. I'm not crazy about doing that either, but it helped a little. It still wasn't very buttery and there was still quite a bit of the seasoning left in the bottom of the bowl. I will be looking for an alternative. This stuff gets just 2 stars.

It wasn't long until dinner time. I decided to just make some egg noodles with mixed veggies.

Just a little butter, salt and lots of black pepper. I love veggies with egg noodles.
I also had a couple of handfuls of raisins after dinner.

After a very productive day, I am ready for bed. I'm not the least bit sleepy, but I have an early morning. Have a great night/day!!!

 If you have any popcorn seasoning suggestions. I'd love to hear them.

Pop Secret 100 Calorie Pop Review

This morning I had a couple of big cups of mostly decaf coffee to start me off. I'd slept pretty well, but wasn't quite as awake as I expected to be. It may have been a side effect of the Melatonin, I'm not sure. I do know that if I wake up during the night after taking one, I feel sort of groggy. 

After drinking my first cup of coffee, I heated a couple of leftover angel biscuits and had them with butter and Lingonberries. 

For lunch I had WW Smart Ones fettucini alfredo with broccoli. I added some extra broccoli, parmesan cheese and black pepper. 

There were two parts to my afternoon snack; sweet & salt. The sweet was a few FL brand chocolate sandwich cookies.

The salty, but not so salty part was Pop Secret 100 Calorie microwave popcorn.

This popcorn is just alright. This was the butter flavored, which isn't very butter flavored. I burned the first bag and nearly the second. I usually go by the pops. When it's just about stops popping and you stop hearing one pop right after the other. Well by then it's burnt. I did the second bag for 1min. 45 sec. which was less than the 2 minutes it took to burn the other bag. With quite a few kernels left and smoke rising out of the bag I poured the popcorn into the bowl. Luckily it was only the side of the bag that was burned with a few dark kernels. We had to take the first bag out of the house. It was really smokin'. Due to the lack of flavor and the difficulty to pop successfully, I am generously giving the Pop Secret 3 stars. 

For dinner I had a colby pepper jack grilled cheese sandwich with a salad of iceberg, red bell peppers, broccoli, onion, and ranch dressing. I should have had a jalapeno dill spear with it, but I didn't think about it until I'd sat down to eat and I was too lazy to get up and get it. 
Now I'm sorry to be rushing through this post, but I've fooled around too long this evening and I was late getting starting on the blog. I also need to get to bed, because I have an early day tomorrow. I just can't seem to make myself get an early start. Have a great night!!!
