DIY Popcorn Seasonings

First, mom mom started listening to Christmas music this week. for most people christmas music signals christmas, for me it signals about the half-way mark till christmas.

second, well, i like Popcorn, just not plain popcorn.

It's just so bleh.

oh, and i'm in LOVE with the popcorn seasonings that you buy at the store, but they can be pricey.

but they are gradually getting more and more creative with their flavors. Like cajun, apple cinnamon, pizza, bacon cheddar, and chocolate marshmallow(don't know how i feel about the last two or three flavors).

so for each flavor you obviously make the popcorn and either butter it or spray it with oil so that the seasoning sticks. oh, and all recipes can be changed for your taste buds, but i cannot vouch for how it will taste. 

mexican hot chocolate: sweet with chocolate and cinnamon

heaping tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of powdered sugar

1 scant tablespoon of cocoa

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

mix.

barbecue: inspired by the sauce. . .  

heaping tablespoon brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon garlic

1/8 teaspoon paprika

mix.

italian mix: herby and looks like a mini salad

1tablespoon dried parsley

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon pepper

mix.

oh and this is good with parmesan sprinkled on too.

gingerbread: christmas in july?

2 scant tablespoons brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

pinch of salt

mix.

then google "tilt" funny until you can't figure out how to untilt. you'd think to just google untilt, huh. well i couldn't figure that out.

so i googled it.

cookie dough in the headlights

you know how when you use the flash on a picture it gives it the much unwanted "deer in the headlights" affect?

behold, cookie dough dip in the headlights.

 and now your blinded.

 i tried the chocolate chip dip recipe that i found on the lovely katie's blog. it tasted waaaay better than this picture looks

 ummmmmm,

YUM

"i'm here for my close up"

But seriously, this dip was DYLish.

oh and did i say that it was healthy? it is. don't judge a bowl of cookie dough dip by how good it looks. wait, scratch that. do.

i left a full bowl of it on the counter and went to say something to my dad and when i came back like 10 minutes later, the thing was practically all gone and my sisters were the culprits. they are like food critics, except they only eat sweet things and don't ever criticize. usually. 

and i took a picture of a hole

just for you.

xoxo,
