\"cheesy<\/p>\n

Oh popcorn. What a long and tumultuous relationship we\u2019ve had.<\/p>\n

There was, of course, the early childhood stage: occasionally that unmistakable smell and sound of kernels popping on the stove would fill the house and I knew a special treat was on the horizon.<\/p>\n

Then there was the teenage stage. I was responsible for more of my own meals by then and hey!<\/em> Popcorn can totally be a meal, right??<\/em><\/p>\n

\"cheesy<\/p>\n

As often as I could get my hands on it, I ate popcorn. Breakfast, lunch, snack \u2013 didn\u2019t matter. I basically ate it until I never wanted to see it again.<\/p>\n

And then for a while\u2026 I just didn\u2019t eat popcorn at all. Sad times.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Now that I\u2019ve developed some self control, I love whipping up homemade popcorn before hubs and I sit down to watch a movie.<\/p>\n

\"thyme<\/a><\/p>\n

The best part of making popcorn from scratch: you can throw in any ingredients you have hanging around and make it your own.<\/p>\n

I usually try different flavor combinations each time, but I made this version with lemon, thyme and parmesan cheese recently and I\u2019m hooked!<\/p>\n

\"parmesan<\/p>\n

Salty, cheesy, herby, lemony\u2026 and gone 5 minutes into the movie.<\/p>\n

Maybe I should start making larger batches?<\/p>\n

\"cheesy<\/p>\n

Or I guess I could just stick to that whole self control thing.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n

Cheesy Lemon Thyme Popcorn<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Serves<\/h3>\n

2<\/p><\/div>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • 1\/3 cup finely grated parmesan cheese <\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme <\/li>\n
  • zest of 1\/2 lemon <\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoons butter <\/li>\n
  • 1\/3 cup popcorn kernels <\/li>\n
  • vegetable oil <\/li>\n
  • fine grain sea salt & freshly ground black pepper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Method<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Combine the cheese, thyme and lemon zest, set aside. Melt the butter in a small microwavable dish, set aside.<\/li>\n
    2. In a medium pot, pour in enough vegetable oil just to cover the bottom and set over medium heat. Throw in a couple of popcorn kernels; when they pop, you know the oil is ready. Pour in the rest of the kernels and place a lid on the pot, leaving it cracked so steam can escape. Shaking the pan almost constantly to keep the kernels moving, cook until the popping slows to a few seconds between each pop. Pour the popcorn into a large bowl.<\/li>\n
    3. Pour the butter over the popcorn, stirring to combine. Stir in the parmesan mixture, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Devour!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/article>\n
