POPCORN SEASONING MIXES
When our grandkids sleep over, we usually watch a movie; they like seasoned popcorn but we pefer the plain old buttered stuff! Thanx to Martha Stewart, we now spend a little quality time in the kitchen as each child "cooks up" a mix before "show time"! All of the variations can be doubled or tripled, depending on the size of the container you plan to use. The Italian mixture should be kept in the refrigerator, as it contains fresh cheese.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh herbs, spices, and citrus zest will give your popcorn seasoning the best flavor. If you're using dried herbs or spices, be sure to use them sparingly, as they can be more potent than fresh.
- Experiment with different flavors: There are endless possibilities when it comes to popcorn seasoning flavors. Try sweet and salty, savory and spicy, or anything in between. You can also add different textures to your seasoning, such as nuts, seeds, or grated cheese.
- Make sure your seasoning is evenly distributed: To ensure that every bite of popcorn is flavorful, be sure to mix your seasoning well before adding it to the popcorn. You can do this by shaking the popcorn in a bag or bowl, or by using a fork to stir it.
- Store your popcorn seasoning in an airtight container: This will help to preserve the flavor and prevent the seasoning from becoming stale.
