Nesting!!!

So the time has finally arrived where I have begun "nesting"! Ha Ha! Just a nice word for the combination of weird things I'm doing to pass the time waiting for Sissy! Anyway, rather than cleaning the corners of my bathroom floors with a toothbrush or organizing closets, (which might still happen...we'll see!), I've been baking! Most of you know I like to bake but lately I've been like Julia Childs on crack! Well, maybe not quite that bad, but you get the picture! Last week it was cornbread, yesterday was blackberry struessel muffins and today was microwave caramel corn! Ok, microwave caramel corn doesn't really count as baking but it sounded good and what an eight-and-three-quarters-month pregnant girl wants...an eight-and-three-quarters-month pregnant girl gets! :) 

My mom used to make this recipe when I was a kid and thanks to the internet it took me all of five seconds to find it again! I'm including it down below for any of you who are in need of a sweet treat!

4 Quarts popped popcorn

1 Cup brown sugar

1/2 Cup margarine

1/4 Cup light corn syrup

1/2 Teaspoon salt

1 Teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 Teaspoon baking soda

Place the popped popcorn in a large brown paper bag and set asside.

In a casserole dish, or other microwave safe glass dish, combine the brown sugar, margarine, corn syrup, salt and vanilla. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Remove and stir to combine. Microwave for another 1.5 minutes. Remove and stir in baking soda.

Pour the syrup mixture over the popcorn and shake the bag to coat evenly. Place the entire bag in the microwave on high for 1 minute 10 seconds. Remove and shake the bag again! Return it to the microwave for another 1 minute 10 seconds. Pour out the popcorn onto wax paper until the coating is cool. Store in an airtight container!
