Mac and Cheese Popcorn + The Boxtrolls Movie

Filed Under: Recipes, Snack Tagged With: pollinate media, popcorn, sponsored

This Mac and Cheese Popcorn post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Universal Pictures, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #BoxtrollsFamilyNite http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

Mac and Cheese Popcorn is the perfect snack to make on movie night. It is easy, delicious, and the kids will love it. I think almost every kid I know loves Mac & Cheese and Popcorn. Plus, if you have seen the movie you know cheese is a big part of it.

I found that tip online and thought I would make a little video. Pretty simple and something I hadn’t thought of before. It worked perfectly. That way I didn’t have to worry about the boys choking on the kernels. Of course a few little pieces of popcorn fell out, but you can just pick those out and put them with the rest of the popcorn , or just pop them in your mouth.

Mac and Cheese Popcorn

A few Fridays ago we had a family movie night watching the newly released movie, The Boxtrolls. We didn’t get a chance to see it in theaters, so I couldn’t wait to pick the movie up from Walmart. While I was there I grabbed the 10 count Pop Secret Homestyle Popcorn. It is a new favorite of ours. Grab yours while supplies lasts.

Mac and Cheese Popcorn

We try to have a family movie night every Friday or Saturday night. I really feel it is important to take time out of our busy lives and spend quality time together. There is just something amazing about snuggling up on the couch, watching a movie, and snacking the night away. It brings up important conversations with Dustyn later. We usually end up talking about how the characters behaved in the movie. After watching The Boxtrolls we talked about how important it is to be kind to others even if they are different.

Check out The Boxtrolls on Facebook. They are always sharing fun new content and printables. We also had fun checking out The Boxtrolls website and building our own boxtrolls.

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.

So it was growing soooooo slow. I finally repotted it a couple weeks ago, moved it closer to a window, and started using plant food from @happyhappyhouseplant. Not sure what made the most difference but the leaf opened and now a new one is already starting. Hoping it won’t take as long this time.
