Healthy Snacks

These are my two new favorite snacks.  Seriously, the best.

Red Pepper Feta Dip


1 red pepper
1/2 onion
Tbsp garlic
1/4 c feta cheese + a little more for sprinkling
Oil
Sliced cucumber

1. Dice up red pepper and onion into tiny pieces.  Add garlic and cook with oil until soft/onion is clear.
2.  Add in feta cheese and let it melt.
3. Remove from heat, sprinkle some more feta cheese so it becomes soft but not melted.

Dip sliced cucumber and enjoy!  You could use pita bread, or chips or whatever you want, but cucumbers make it delicious and 100% healthy.

Microwave Popcorn

Did you know you can cook popcorn using a brown paper bag?  How did I not know this until last week??

First try I put 1/2 c kernels in a brown paper bag and set it for 2 min.  They popped so much that the bag ripped open from being so full before the time was even up.

Second try, 1/4 c kernels for 2 min.  Burnt.

Third try, somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 c kernels for 2 min.  Perfection.

Sprinkle some garlic salt, or some EVOO and salt, whatever you want.  It's healthy and easy and delicious.
