Keepin' it spicey!

I am a very big fan of popcorn, my husband is not. However, I can usually lure him to the popcorn bowl if the offering is something a little more out of the ordinary. So, on a whim I whipped up some different seasonings and viola, we are sitting there working on a puzzle and he is chowing down on the crunchy goodness! So here is what I currently use the most:

Italian Seasoning:

1 TBS Garlic Salt
1 1/2 tsp Basil
1 tsp Rosemary

Combine all spices and use a mortar and pestle to finely grind up the herbs, so that they are somewhat dusty in texture. Apply after popcorn has been buttered or oiled and lightly toss.

Mexican Seasoning

1 TBS Garlic Salt
1 TBS Chili Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
1/4 tsp Cumin
Dash of cayenne (can be omitted)

Combine all spices and use a mortar and pestle to finely grind up the herbs, so that they are somewhat dusty in texture. Apply after popcorn has been buttered or oiled and lightly toss.

We have also done cinnamon and sugar, you can also jazz up that combo with some cumin and cayenne for a sweet and spicy flavor.

*If you do not have a mortar and pestle, they are really cheap at walmart...but you may be able to try grinding your spices a little bit finer in a food processor.
