WARM SPICED VANILLA POPCORN
Popcorn is a lowfat, high-fiber treat that my whole family loves. Just a hint of sugar and some coconut oil add a lot of flavor for the calories. My favorite way to pop popcorn is in a heavy-bottomed pot-while it may take a few more minutes compared to a microwave or air popper, the results are exponentially better. Once you get the hang of it, I know you'll agree that old-fashioned stove-top popcorn is worth the five extra minutes.

Steps:
- Mix the sugar, salt, and cinnamon together in a small bowl and set aside. Place a rimmed baking sheet or a large paper bag on the work surface.
- Heat the coconut oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat for 1 minute. Add 2 popcorn kernels. Once they pop, add the scraped vanilla seeds and stir. Immediately stir in the remaining popcorn kernels, wait 10 seconds, then quickly stir in the sugar-cinnamon mixture. Cover the pot, leaving the lid slightly askew (and facing away from you) to allow steam to escape. Use oven mitts to protect your hands as you shake the pot constantly over the burner. Keep shaking until most of the popcorn has popped and you hear 1 to 2 seconds between pops.
- Immediately turn off the heat, uncover the pot, and carefully dump the popcorn out onto the baking sheet or into the paper bag. Let cool at least 5 minutes before eating (be careful-the sugar makes the popcorn extremely and hot!).

VANILLA POPCORN
I have not tried this recipe. I got it from Country Discoveries. "This sweet crunchy snack is my family's favorite", writes Carolyn Roney of Scipio Center, New York. "For variety, substitute almond extract or maple flavoring or add nuts for exta crunch".

CINNAMON-SUGAR POPCORN
I first tried this when I was visiting my sister in West Virginia. After trying it, I loved it, however I neglected to ask her for the recipe. 10 years later, I have it, and I still love it! The kids can help make it if you use an air popper (which I did to reduce fat and calories...there's enough in the butter!) I used my deep dish lasagna pan to cook it in the oven. You can use a roasting pan or any other large, deep dish pan. It makes a lot, so either invite your friends or store it in an airtight container for later.

VANILLA FLAVORED POPCORN
I bought some vanilla flavored popcorn a few years back. It had kind of a clear candy coating on it. I think I'll try using clear vanilla extract when I make this. I hope this will come close to what I had. Found on recipe tips.
