There are loads of d\u2019lish food holidays<\/a> out there! For example, did you know that January 19th is National Popcorn Day<\/a>? Yum!<\/p>\n

I love classic buttered and salted popcorn. It\u2019s the perfect snack to munch on at the movies, during family game night, or as a healthy alternative to chips. And if those little 100-calorie microwave bags<\/a> leave you craving something a bit more gourmet, try my ideas on how to spice up your snacking!<\/p>\n

-Brown some butter before drizzling it on top, and then toss with cinnamon sugar to satisfy that sweet tooth craving – yum!<\/p>\n

-If savory is more your style, add a dash of fresh chopped herbs in with some olive oil.<\/p>\n

-How about spicing it up with a zesty hit of lime zest, cilantro and Tabasco?<\/p>\n

-For the taste adventurer, try this: shake on some curry powder or furikake seasoning<\/a> to add a truly unique and inspired flavor. Wow!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m always a fan of kicking classics up a notch and I love to grate sharp cheddar over my popcorn \u2013 but why not take it up a level by grating Manchego cheese over it and then seasoning it with sea salt and Spanish smoked paprika or experiment with different flavored seasonings like bacon salt<\/a>. Just remember to be conservative with liquids like hot sauce when seasoning\u2026 no one is a fan of mushy popcorn.<\/p>\n

So however you like it, pop up some tasty fun on National Popcorn Day! -Kathy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
