I'm sure this has been asked before but how do you switch up your popcorn?

    I like using a microwave popping bowl with a little bit of oil. That adds just enough moisture for the toppings to stick. I like Kernel Seasons popcorn topping, but I've tweaked a couple of the "bland" ones - For Kettle Corn I added cinnamon (cocoa would be good too). For Nacho I added chili powder.

    Wal-Mart carries these, but not this many flavors.....http://www.kernelseasons.com/

    Garlic salt and Parmesan is my current favorite - made in my microwave popper with no oil or butter.

    My favorite is actually a little nooch, cumin and salt.

    Chili lime! Chili powder, light cayenne, light spritz of lime.

    Is there a way to pop "naked" popcorn with what I (probably) have in my kitchen? Or would I need to get a thing? Like the idea of making my own, in an appropriate serving. Garlic salt and parm sounds so yummy.

    I eat the Brims popcorn from dollar store. 3 cups = 170 calories. Very tasty for a premade popcorn.

    I've done it on the stove top in a pot, with about a TBSP of oil. You heat up the oil and put the kernels in and the heat will cause it to pop.

    I've also done pumpkin pie spice and PB2 with the kettle corn seasoning. Instead of buying it, I just refill the shaker with superfine sugar and some salt.

    I'll have to try the chili powder with the nacho, that's a good idea.

    I pop mine in a brown paper bag (those little lunch bags) with nothing added, just the kernels. It works great and is inexpensive!

    Exactly, after it pops and as your pouring it from the bag, give it a quick spray of Pam or similar butter flavored cooking spray. It adds some flavor, and gives it a bit of tackiness so salt or flavored seasonings will stick better.
    I think I may try the garlic salt next, that sounds great to me.

    When using the paper bag, you,will get lots of unpopped kernels, but who really cares ?

    I love to toss some air popped corn with some Frank's RedHot hot sauce.

    Since discovering cumin salt I really like it on popcorn. I also use a combination of garlic and onion flakes, parmesean cheese and/or nutritional yeast or shredded hard cheddar. Of course butter, but if I'm out I'll use olive oil. I think I'd like to try coconut oil next time and maybe some shredded coconut to go with it. Sounds like a plan.

    I like nutritional yeast and Penzeys mural of flavor.
