We LOVE popcorn. The snack was a staple in our apartment when we lived together, and we would often eat it while we watched movies with our favorite toppings (hot sauce for Sarah and Italian dressing for Caitlin). Caitlin and her sister Holly came up with a great way to test popcorn pairings: They pour various condiments and other refrigerator goodies into mini muffin tins so they can sample multiple combinations. Sarah’s dad taught her how to make popcorn over the stove before she moved into her first college apartment (see the video below for the how-to). She has it down to a near science now and often pops a big bowl right as company arrives.
We’re offering two new recipes to try this Popcorn Day, but also be sure to check out our previous popcorn recipes:

Asiago and thyme popcorn
by Sarah Steimer
Make about 6-8 cups popcorn. While the popcorn is still warm, spray or drizzle with olive or vegetable oil to lightly coat. Finely grate about 1/2 cup Asiago cheese. Add the cheese and about 2-3 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves to the popcorn. Add a pinch of salt. Gently toss and serve.

Brown butter, rosemary and lemon popcorn
by Caitlin Saniga
Pop about 6 cups of popcorn. Place 3 tablespoons butter in a small pan and cook over medium heat until it turn light brown, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the stove and add 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary. Pour the butter over the popcorn. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1 lemon) over top and finish with a few grinds of salt and pepper. Toss to coat and serve.

- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
In a medium pot over medium-high heat, toss the kernels in oil. Cover the pot with a lid. As the kernels begin to pop, gently shake the covered pot to ensure that the popcorn doesn’t burn. Once the kernels stop popping, remove the pot from the stove.
In a small bowl, stir sugar and cinnamon to combine.
Slowly trickle melted butter over the popcorn, stopping frequently to shake the popcorn. Season popcorn to taste with cinnamon-sugar mixture, stopping frequently to shake the popcorn.

Taco seasoning: (note: This recipe makes way more seasoning than you’ll need for one batch of popcorn. Save the extra seasoning in a shaker or sealed container.)
- 1/4 cup chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon salt (at least)
- 1 tablespoon pepper (at least)
Popcorn:
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
To prepare the taco seasoning, combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Transfer the mix to a shaker or small, resealable container or bag.
To prepare the popcorn, in a medium pot over medium-high heat, toss the kernels in oil. Cover the pot with a lid. As the kernels begin to pop, gently shake the covered pot to ensure that the popcorn doesn’t burn. Once the kernels stop popping, remove the pot from the stove.
Slowly trickle melted butter over the popcorn, stopping frequently to shake the popcorn. Season popcorn to taste with taco seasoning, stopping frequently to shake the popcorn.
