Quick Sweet and Salty Popcorn

Every Friday we as a family do movie night. I make popcorn and usually put a surprise buried underneath the popcorn. Instead of hiding a special treat this week, I made a quick sweet and salty popcorn that we all gobbled up! This is also something fun that the kids can help out with. 

10 c air popped popcorn

6 tabl melted butter

1/4 c brown sugar

salt

After you've popped your popcorn, melt the butter in a bowl, stir in the brown sugar and mix well. Drizzle over the popcorn a little at a time mixing/sharing the popcorn in between drizzling. once you've drizzled all the butter/sugar mixture give it a good stir, sprinkle a little salt over and shake up. Pour in individual bowls and have at it!

Zucchini Bread

I wanted to make a healthier version of the zucchini bread I once had from Trader Joe's, something I wouldn't feel too guilty about indulging in. 
This bread is moist and flavorful. One of my kids fav's!
