My very random post!

Hey guys,

Sorry for my disappearing act lately! I’ve been super busy, but have still been reading all your blogs, just no commenting!!

 

Ok, this is my super random post!  Lots of fun stuff… with some wedding details at the end!! :)

Ok… after my snack post a few people asked me how to oven pop popcorn!!

 

Take some oil of choice – about a table spoon and put it in a pot (with a tight fitting lid)

I prefer coconut oil

Drop in 3 kernels of popcorn

Cover until all 3 pop!!

Once all 3 have popped then put in about 1/4 cup of kernels per person.

Keep the heat around medium… and let the sizzle begin!

Give the pot a little shake every once in awhile!! (to keep the kernels from burning!)

Then… beautiful popcorn!!

Then top with whatever you like!!

WEDDING DETAILS!!!

So we are officially staying at the RIU Emerald Bay, Mazatlan

riu_emerald_bay01

SO excited!! We’ve had some RSVPs coming in, which makes it super exciting!! I can’t wait for it!!

I’ve found some fun excursions too…  very close to a bloggers heart!   Salsa and Salsa – learn to make authentic Mexican margaritas, 6 different salsas, guacamole and then spend the afternoon doing salsa lessons!  YES!!  So fun.  It got rated as one of the best excursions in Mazatlan, and I have been emailing the “dancing chefs” and they sound like so much fun!

This is all the wedding gossip as of now! I still haven’t been dress shopping, but soon!!

-----------------------------------------------------------

Hope you are all doing wonderful!!

Keep your eyes open for a coconuty, peanut buttery giveaway, very soon!

I am confused I had not yet found you rblog either, as we seem to read many of the same blogs (Meghan Telpner, Voracious Vegan, Girl on Raw) - which reminds me, I need to update my blog roll.
