Snackilicious: Power Popcorn

flavored popcorn recipes

Today is National Popcorn Day. For me, popcorn day happens about once a week. I absolutely love it. I typically eat it with no butter and plenty of popcorn salt. If you haven’t tried popcorn salt, I highly recommend it as it is more finely ground and sticks to the corn much better than table salt.

Cookie Week continues with a winter classic… the oatmeal cookie. I must tell you upfront that while I like most cookies soft and chewy, that is not the case with oatmeal cookies. It must be my fondness for granola that leads me toward a denser cookie. These cookies are still somewhat soft but have some real substance.
