Parmesan Popcorn
I love popcorn, I really do. My dad used to make it for my siblings and me as a treat every single Friday night. He would air-pop it, drizzle it with butter, and then we’d settle into our favorite TGIF shows (you remember the ones; Full House, Family Matters, Step by Step, etc.). Today I like to do the same thing with my kiddos, but I try to make our popcorn with better ingredients that are better for you.
Life is a bit hectic, and time gets away from me, especially after dinner and my kiddo’s bedtime. Just like growing up, my little family likes to make Friday nights Family TV/Movie night.
We still want to get the kids in bed on time, so after we clear the dinner table, we jump right into our Family TV/Movie Night. I usually pop a bag of popcorn and call it done. On a recent trip to the store, I found this Lime & Salt flavored popcorn.
I love all things lime and decided to try it for our next movie night. I was expecting a fake or even subtle lime flavor, but I found neither in this popcorn. The lime flavor was perfect, and everyone loved it.
The next day I wanted popcorn again for a snack, but this time I wanted to try it with one of my favorite lime-flavored combinations: Lime, Chipotle & Parmesan. Wow, if you like spicy snacks, you need to try this recipe!

Cook’s Note:
- Make sure you grate the Parmesan and not shred it. You will use more cheese if you shred it, and then it’s no longer a healthy snack. Grating the cheese lets you evenly distribute the cheese by using less of it.
