Pop Secret

Can you keep a secret?

I just whipped up this Popcorn & Spice gift set for my Pop.

I don’t really call him Pop, in fact, he goes by the name Dad. So if you see a handsome guy named Dad running around, please don’t tell him about this gift or you’ll ruin everything.

Anyway, I love to give gifts from the Fitness & Spice test kitchen so when I saw this simple and healthy idea in a special issue of Better Homes & Gardens magazine, I ran right to Bed Bath & Beyond to find the perfect shaker for this…

Pesto Popcorn Seasoning

  • 5 T  finely shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 t dried basil, crushed
  • 1/2 t dried parsley flakes
  • 1/4 t garlic powder

Combine all of the ingredients together and transfer the mixture to a metal shaker embellished with some really cute ribbon.

Package it up with some popcorn, a great little snack bowl, a movie, or whatever is fitting for your Pop.

Now I really must go before I give away any more secrets or say something really corny like Merry Fitness, or worse, Seasons Eatings!

Clever! So this year I’ll make the pumpkin butter, and next year I’ll have to make this for friends and family!! It sounds delicious. Pesto + popcorn is heaven in my mouth (I’m guessing…).

Another awesome idea! I haven’t had popcorn in years! Mostly because the only way I ever liked it was DROWNED in butter.
