Super Easy Caramel Corn
"A super easy, super quick caramel corn recipe.
You can make microwave popcorn without all the junk! Place 1/4 c of popcorn kernels in a paper bag and turning the top down a few times. Pop on the popcorn setting of your microwave. Listen carefully and remove when the popping slows. Over time you will be able to tell how long you need to pop it."

This is a great recipe. I like how easy it is. I cooked 3 tablespoon of popcorn in a brown bag in microwave for 3 minutes. So I made half recipe. But next time I may add more brown sugar. I think it needed a bit more, for the taste and for a darker color. Thanks cook from scratch :) Made for PAC Spring 2010

My passions are photography and cooking (a good combination to have a 'zaar!) I try to photograph every recipe I review. My family sometimes wishes we could just sit down to eat at night without first having to take pictures of what we are eating!
I've been cooking for a long time and recently started baking from scratch. I have been a member at 'zaar for quite a few years and my tried-and-tried recipes come mainly from my favorite chefs here. I am dabbling in OAMC and pantry cooking and do a lot of baking due to my boys' food allergies. We follow the Feingold Program, an alternative to ADHD medications. Feingold eliminates food additives such as artificial flavors and colorings, synthetic sweeteners such as Equal and the petroleum-based preservatives such as BHT, BHA and TBHQ (ewww!!) You can find more information on the Feingold program by visiting the website at http://www.feingold.org. I have become a much better cook since starting the program two years ago and have become somewhat of a food snob because of it.
I am a mom first and for-most. I also work with families who lose a child at or before birth.
