Jiffy Pop for dinner.

Tuesday May 20, 2008

Does it make me a bad mom that this is what I gave my 4 1/2 year old for dinner last Friday night? Pizza rolls and Jiffy Pop!

It was movie night ("Barbie Mermaidia") and my husband was out of town. Why cook??

I "Googled" Jiffy Pop and learned that it was invented in the United States in 1958 by Fred Mennen. What a genius!! If you grew up in the US and you are somewhere near my age range (or even what I claim to be) :-) you should remember this:

In case you're curious about the nutritional value I was able to capture that as well:

Serving size 2 TABLESPOONS?!?!? That's about 6 pieces of popcorn, which means I ate at least 5 servings.

Anyway... it made me feel like a kid again and my daughter now thinks I'm the coolest mom in the world. Totally worth it- but I promise not to do it again. (In case my husband or the grandparents are reading this)
