When the blankets, the cosy warming fire, the happy fights about what movie to choose and the popcorn, all come out to play. Including this 3 ingredient healthy herb popcorn that is soooooooooooooo easy to make and share around (or not). Just think of the gorgeous smell of melting coconut oil, then the sizzling as you add in the popcorn kernels, then the fun that you have listing to the popping corn all whilst trying to wait patiently for the end.  Then you take the hot crispy popcorn off the heat, throw on some salt and dried thyme, toss it and dig right in…. Tip moment here, you can make the waiting even more fun by getting the children to sing as many verses of ‘down in the jungle where nobody goes’ at the top of their voices, whilst you count down. And when I say children, I erm totally mean the big children too :). What, it is a really nice song and the elephant motions are fun……

Ok, ok, back to the healthy herb popcorn. This is one those snacks that you are absolutely allowed to have one, then two, then 3 whole bowls of. Face it, you are never going to overdose from popcorn and the fact that it is tasty and healthier to boot, means guilt free snacking at its best. So really the only thing you have to feel guilty about is whether or not you insist on making everyone watch that most talked about vampire movie or the sappy chick flick for the third time. Team vampire here by the way, if you were wondering.
