Popcornopolis Organic Nearly Naked Popcorn – Available at Costco

Erin Sluka

I have partnered with Zebra Popcorn for this Blog Tour feature

Nearly Naked popcorn is new and the best tasting popcorn. Certified Gluten Free, GMO Free Corn, Pure Coconut Oil, No High Fructose Corn Syrup, 0g Trans Fat, Made with American Grown Corn. When I say the best, I mean it. My husband and I eat popcorn as our snack of choice and we have tried all the brands out there. After trying Nearly Naked my husband said it is by far the best tasting of all the ‘naked’ popcorns available that we have tried. I truly agree!

Given that Popcornopolis Nearly Naked is our new favorite I wanted to share the following shopping tip for you!

Find Nearly Naked popcorn at Costco for the following prices! I know we’ll be stocking up. The shelf life is quite long. On March 13 – Costco will be selling it for $5.39 a bag. However, to really stock up wait until April 19 – May 13 where the cost will drop to $3.49 a bag! These bags are huge! Find more at Popcornopolis

Naked Chicken Egg Rolls Recipe

Easy Naked Chicken Egg Roll Recipe

When your husband comes to you one day and says he wants to start eating healthier but no real plan that is the beginning of a lifestyle change. He wants to lose weight and knew he has little control over will power and we discussed the type of regimen we wanted to follow. I am not overweight but I could shed a few so I decided to join him on the journey to mainly eat healthier and be a partner with him to help keep him motivated.

We decided to choose – and tweak- the paleo diet. Basically it was very low carbs. That meant no breads, pasta, rice, cereals, tortillas, some cheeses and sugars. It is hard to suddenly get creative. We do allow ourselves a cheat night a week. After 3 months my husband is down 42 pounds and me 8.

This latest recipe has been a hit! I was asked twice this night to make it so I will finally share! By Naked Chicken Egg Rolls I mean you make the insides but no pastry to roll them in. Very low carbs and filling!

Low Carb Chicken Pea Penne Recipe

I have partnered with Explore Cuisine. Recipe is my own

Low Carb Chicken Pea Penne Recipe

Being on a low carb diet makes it hard to get creative. We have cut rices, most pasta and breads. Only poultry and lean pork and lots of fresh veggies and fruits. I can stare at a chicken breast a thousand hours some nights and am just flat out of creativity. Then one day you realize you have some peas, chicken and Explore Cuisine in the kitchen and crave pasta, but because we aren’t eating the sauces you just get creative anyway. Here is my Low Carb Chicken Pea Penne and it was a hit!

Explore Cuisine

The only pasta we keep in our cupboard is Explore Cuisine because it is made with real veggies and lentils like edamame chickpea and green lentils. These are loaded with plant-based protein, are USDA Organic and Gluten free. They taste incredible. The closest store to me that carries Explore Cuisine is an Albertsons 30 minutes away and I will head there to stock up. I have approved this pasta for a once a week meal on our diet.

Everything is cooked separately then it all comes together with some herbs, parmesan and olive oil in the end.
