Afternoon Snacking

Around 3:30 or 4:00 in the afternoon the boys start looking for a snack. Usually they're satisfied with a piece of fruit or some raisins and nuts, but sometimes they're really feeling munchy. That's when I reach for the popcorn.

I'm not a fan of the kind cooked in the microwave and we don't have a popper so we pop it the old fashioned way, in a big pot on the stove top. With just a bit of melted butter and a good shaking of salt it's a simple, sugar-free snack.

Of course, there are days {especially these days} when I'm we're feeling a bit stir crazy and {gasp} grumpy and tired... that's when we jump in the car and zip up the road for happy hour at Sonic. After all, what goes better with popcorn than a half-price fountain drink?!
