The Tried and True...

So, before delving into some of the new things I have tried, I thought it would be best to share of few of my very favorite recipes.  These are the ones I have been using for years, and don't have to run to the ol' cookbook to grab the recipe.  We'll start with one of our family favorites...

Honey and Sea Salt Popcorn

1/2 C. popcorn kernels, air popped
2 Tbls. butter
2 Tbls. honey
Sea Salt, to taste

This one's pretty easy.  Pop the popcorn in an air popper.  In a small dish or cup, microwave the butter and honey together for 40 sec. on high.  Pour the honey butter mixture over the popcorn, season with sea salt to taste, and toss to coat the popcorn evenly.

Now the really fun thing about this recipe is you can mix it up by adding cinnamon, cayenne, or any of your favorite seasonings to the honey butter.  I've also replaced half of the butter with coconut oil to add a bit of a coconutty flavor.  Mix it with some Honey Chex cereal and chocolate chips dried fruit for a quick and healthy snack mix.  The possibilities are rather endless here.  What would you toss in?
