About this episode

Awesomes, as we all know, sometimes you just need the comfort of good, familiar food. At Sorta Awesome, we've had one of those weeks that derailed all of our plans and left us craving a simpler time! We found just what we were looking for in a classic episode from 2015 featuring Meg and Kelly talking all about favorite foods. Tune in to hear a brand new conversation opener with their current Awesomes of the Week, and hear Kelly explain how she broke the internet when she took down her recipe archives (and where you can find it now!). And then enjoy a timeless conversation that reveals the origin story of the BBQ tuna disaster and other kitchen secrets!

Recipe similar to Meg's bierocks recipe

Meg’s secret to stovetop popcorn: In a pot with a lid, melt 1 T. coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add ½ c. popcorn. Put lid on pot, shake kernels so they are coated with coconut oil. Keep lid on as corn pops, occasionally shaking pot to keep bottom kernels from scorching. When popping slows to 3 seconds between pops, remove pot from heat, pour popcorn into bowl. Pour over ½ c. melted butter. Sprinkle with sea salt. Toss and enjoy!
