So kids, I've brought some corn for popping... and in fact, I've popped it, seasoned it, and packed it up!
Lately I've been thinking about how, even though I'm pretty good at packing healthy lunches for school, I almost never include snacks. Therefore, once the lunch is gone and I get hungry again, I'm stuck buying little things for myself that have an insane unit price. I hate that. So, one day, I decided that I was going to buy popcorn from the Co-op and have some fun with it.
As it turns out, experimenting with different popcorn flavors is quite addicting.
The first few batches were pretty average... butter or olive oil with some spices: chili powder, garlic, oregano/basil, cinnamon/nutmeg, etc... then I started experimenting with sweet-and-savory combos (my favorite thing ever). For a new favorite, I popped the corn, made some homemade caramel sauce, and added some chopped pecans.
OMG. Delicious. Now, I'm definitely not saying that my love for cheesecake is waning... but every once in a while, a girl needs to branch out a bit, and try something new. This is one of my ways of branching.
(By the way, speaking of branching... vegan Boysenberry-Green Tea cheesecake and gluten-free Velvet cake! Yummy!)
