I absolutely LOVE popcorn.
I think it’s safe to say it’s my favorite snack… well one of my favorite snacks…actually there are quite a few, like these Baked Curried Chickpeas or this Tomato and Avocado Bruschetta. I could go on and on when it comes to food, but back to the popcorn. I am definitely more of a savory than sweet kind of girl. As you know, I like to get creative in the kitchen and I love food with lots of flavor. I’ve gotta say, I wouldn’t turn down good old butter or olive oil with a sprinkle of salt, but today I’m rounding up three of my absolute favorite combos for popcorn toppings that I know you’ll love if you’re looking for something a little different.
Tip: I find that having snack recipes and ideas on hand always frees up more time for fun things like family movie nights, so I’ve created a list of quick and easy meal prep snacks for you here!
