Other toppings:
garlic salt + rosemary
taco seasoning mix
Personally I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE to sprinkle on some Hidden Valley Ranch Buttermilk seasoning mix
Never thought of these! Very smart!
A little Cayenne pepper is really good, makes a nice spicy treat!
I dip mine in Tapatio or Siracha as well.
I'm a little addicted to heat.
When I feel like sweet tho I use some cinnamon sugar0 -
I think popcorn is great—especially if you pop bulk kernels instead of those bags with yucky chemicals. I actually put 1/4 cup in a paper bag, fold the top two times, put upright in the microwave for 3 min until it stops, and voila! I don't used butter spray—I just melt a 1/2 tbsp butter and pour it over with a little salt. Last week I used olive oil spray instead and added pepper—tasted just like salt and pepper chips!!!
I think it is a good whole grain snack, and actually has a lot of benefits including antioxidants. Might not be lots of protein, so make sure you're filling that gap with other things. But as far as 100 cal snacks go, it's a good choice!
I had no idea you could pop your own popcorn in a paper bag! :drinker:0 -
