The popcorn is regular microwave in a bag corn, but with very little salt and no butter. I sprinkle a few shakes of each spice until it looks pretty, then I shake it up so the popcorn's pretty evenly covered. YUMMY!

This sounds good. Is it heavy on the salt? Is it regular microwave in a bag?

When you just can't stop from eating ice cream.
If you're like me then ice cream is one of your biggest weaknesses. After a meal I crave something cold and sweet. I've found that frozen yogurt is a good alternative.... as in, take your Dannon and stick it in the freezer. It comes out rock hard but after about 30 seconds in the microwave it breaks up enough to get a spoon through it. Even better is GoGurt, if you have it, it's like eating a creamy otter pop. You can also make your own popcycles, all you need is a mold and some sticks!
