The original post where I found this recipe calls it the “Speedy Cheezy Protein Pasta Bowl.” Only I kind of hate that name because not only is it too long, but “cheezy,” with it’s needless “z,” is a really obnoxious word. Also “protein” being highlighted as a particular dietary benefit always makes me think of sperm.
And I couldn’t call it the Yeast-y Protein Bowl, because yeast is even worse. You know what I mean.
Hence, the Goddamn Hippie Winter Bowl.
It’s actually pretty good.
Poppycorn is a stupid-simple and crazy-good thing we make every Christmas. It consists of Crispix, popcorn, and almonds tossed in a caramel mixture and then baked to kind-of-crunchy, kind-of-chewy mouthgasmic goodness. You will not regret making it. The original recipe is brought to you by my little sister’s best childhood friend’s mom, Patty.
