Replacement for butter on popcorn

Ok this may not sound good but trust me it is AWESOME!
Next time you are sitting down to watch a movie and wish you could soak your popcorn with butter try this.

fill a large ziploc bag about half to 3/4th full of popcorn

Then add 1 to 1 1/2 Tbsp flax oil and a dash of salt.

Trust me guy it rocks! This is as close as you can get to movie theater popcorn without the risk of a coronary.

I think a dab of 100% unsaturated fat margarine would do a better trick.And since we are talking popcorn,how do you make air-poped pop corn?

"And since we are talking popcorn,how do you make air-poped pop corn? "

You buy a hot air popper, available at most department stores in the U.S. and Canada. Here in Mexico you have to look long and hard to find one of these puppies.

The texture is different than if you use hot oil BUT the payoff is better health.

Actually doesn't sound that bad. I may have to try this out sometime as I have a air popper. Thanks.

I know it sounds nasty but it really tastes like butter when its on popcorn, plus your getting your omega's right in with it. fat free margerine wont do that.
