Ginger Cinnamon Popcorn

Popcorn is one of our favorite snacks. It's great for the munchies! We have an air popper, and sometimes just enjoy the popcorn plain, sometimes with salt and butter, and sometimes we get even more flavorful. Tonight I decided to try a new combination which worked well and so I thought I would share. In a small saucepan, I melted a tbsp of butter and a little honey (I didn't measure, but it couldn't have been more than a tbsp; I'm pretty stingy with the honey since it's so expensive and we don't need to eat much anyway), and then added some grated ginger. I didn't measure it either, but I stopped when I was tired of grating; it was probably about 1/4 tsp, but maybe more. I sprinkled cinnamon directly on the popcorn, then drizzled the melted butter mixture on top, then mixed it all up -- and voila! It was really good. I think it's definitely a do-over. I'm a cinnamon fan, so this is yet another way to enjoy cinnamon (together with butter, even better!). Let me know if you try it and what you think.

Hey! Aleecia, that sounds really good! I have some regular popcorn that I have to pop on the stove, but I never use it since I am too lazy. I guess I really need to get an air popper. Right now, I am using microwave popcorn. The most healthy kind I have found is the light butter. Of course, the "butter" is probably not butter. I am probably canceling out the goodness of popcorn as a snack by doing it this way. Oh well, baby steps!
