This Cinnamon Brown Sugar Popcorn is absolutely amazing! The perfect sweet snack that won't blow your diet. Get the recipe at LoveGrowsWild.com

This Cinnamon Brown Sugar Popcorn is the perfect snack for satisfying your sweet tooth without sabotaging your diet. It’s a little sweet, a little salty, super crunchy, and under 140 calories per serving!

I’m a snacker. Always have been and always will be. Everyday around 2:30 pm, my stomach starts telling me, “go grab some potato chips… you know you want an ice cream bar… there’s a Snicker’s sitting in the pantry with your name on it…”. Of course all that junk food is delicious, but about 6 months ago now I joined a local gym and have been determined to get some healthier habits in my life. 6 months strong of going to the gym every week… that’s HUGE for me!!

So now I try to reach for healthier snacks like cheese sticks, yogurt, nuts, fruit… that kind of stuff. But every once in awhile I get tired of eating the typical healthy stuff and start to crave that evil junk food again. That’s where this recipe comes into play!

This wicked-good popcorn recipe comes from the new cookbook, 400 Calories or Less with Our Best Bites. I’ve tried quite a few recipes over the years from these talented bloggers (Sara and Kate), and they always turn out amazing. When I saw they were coming out with a new cookbook geared towards a healthy lifestyle, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it! I sat flipping through page after page of delicious low-calorie recipes and marked over half of them with little Post-it’s so I could try them ASAP. Every recipe comes with a big, beautiful photo as well as nutritional information including calories, fat content, carbs, sugar, etc. This book actually got me excited about cooking and eating healthy again!

Here are some of the other recipes I have bookmarked to try: Crispy Baked Fish and Chips, Slow Cooker Pot Roast, Grilled Steak Gyro Pitas, Cheddar Bacon Burgers with Caramelized Onions, Grilled Chicken Caprese, Oven-Baked Cinnamon Apple Chips, Chocolate Crepes with Bananas and Caramel

Psst… there’s a cookbook giveaway at the bottom of this post… keep reading!!

So back to the popcorn recipe. This Cinnamon Brown Sugar version is actually one of THREE flavored popcorn recipes featured in the 400 Calories or Less book, but this one is by far my favorite. You just can’t beat a crunchy, sweet, and salty snack! You need 8 cups of air-popped popcorn, which will give you 4 servings, but if you prefer to use the microwaveable kind, just look for a plain variety.

Once the popcorn is popped, season it lightly with salt, then drizzle on a mixture of melted butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Yuuuuummmm. I like to pour the butter mixture on slowly while I toss the popcorn with a big spoon to evenly distribute the butter throughout the popcorn. I’m not going to lie… every time I’ve made this I eat closer to 2 servings instead of 1 (oops!), but each 2-cup serving is only 137 calories, which is awesome! You will feel like you’re indulging in a big, sweet treat, but you’re actually still sticking to your diet like a champ. WAY more delicious than a handful of carrot sticks, am I right??

    For something snacky i do air popped corn in the microwave—so easy and quick, but healthy. And satisifies my need for a crunchy snack. Love your blog and also that cookbook is awesome lookong. Having the nutritional info is so helpful for being mindful of servings for me.

    Looks like a great cookbook! And nice work on going to the gym. I love low cal egg based recipes, like frittatas with some whole eggs, a lot of whites and a ton of veg.

    Popcorn is actually one of them. I air pop it and add salt an nutritional yeast. Also do apples and other fruit, and coffee!

    YUM! We almost made popcorn as a snack the other night and decided against it because we weren’t feeling the normal salt and butter combo. This would have been perfect! Pinning to make soon šŸ™‚

A weird side angle of the living room as proof tha A weird side angle of the living room as proof that a giant TV does in fact exist in here, and we are just a normal family who loves movie nights snuggled up on the couch with the dog & football Sundays with all the yummy food during the game (one benefit of having an open concept living/dining room). I purposely placed the TV in a spot where it isn’t the main focal point of the room and designed the space to draw your eye to other much prettier things like the big picture window just to the left of this photo.

Want to try something like this in your living room? See if you can arrange the furniture so the TV isn’t the main focal point in the room, but still has visibility from the majority of your seating. Try making the focus a fireplace, window, or create a gallery wall with pretty artwork if you don’t have any standout architectural elements!

Just a little tidbit of advice I’ve learned & loved & wanted to pass along... Happy Monday, sweet friends!

A little bit of work & a whole lot of relaxing wit A little bit of work & a whole lot of relaxing with my favorite humans this weekend. I have some fun things to share with you on the blog this week & several house projects going on (the dining & living room are looking SO good!!), but I need to recharge and spend some quality time doing my most important job on this Earth... taking care of my people. šŸ¤

What are your plans for the weekend? Whatever they are, I hope you have a chance to laugh, rest, eat something delicious, and enjoy a little sunshine (even if it’s sitting indoors because it’s very brrrr outside)!

Quite possibly my favorite view in the house. And Quite possibly my favorite view in the house. And also quite possibly the best place for morning snuggles, second cups of coffee, and the occasional Netflix binge. This room was ā€œshiplappedā€ over 5 years ago now, but it has never felt like a passing fad or overly trendy with a mix of other vintage & traditional elements in the room. These big, wide planks have my whole heart just as much as the day we installed them back in 2015.

What’s your opinion on shiplap? In? Out? Vertical? Horizontal? Focal wall or the entire room? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

NEW! THE ARMSTRONG HOUSE LIVING ROOM REVEAL Last NEW! THE ARMSTRONG HOUSE LIVING ROOM REVEAL

Last time I shared an update on Mom’s house, I had just revealed the completed renovation, and you were able to see all the freshly painted white walls, new carpet & flooring, and a very stark blank canvas. We intentionally made this space light, bright, & neutral since 1) it’s a rental home, and we want it to appeal to a variety of styles. And 2) it’s VERY small, so the light paint makes it feel much more open & spacious than dark paint would! But all those white walls were in desperate need of a warm, cozy touch, and that’s exactly what Mom and I did…
