#TGIT: Gourmet Popcorn

Happy Wednesday, Gladiators. It's almost time to uncork the wine, put on your fanciest pajamas and set your televisions to ABC. I live for TGIT. Live. There is no doubt, my favorite time of the week. What better way to celebrate the new season of Grey's, Scandal and HTGAWM than with a big bowl of delicious popcorn?



Now, you can go the classic route, like our girl Olivia, and eat our popcorn plain. Or you can jazz it up a bit. Once you make these delicious recipes, grab your blanket and your favorite vino and consider it handled.

PS. I burnt the popcorn because it's delicious that way.

Garlic Parmesan popcorn

4 tbsp butter or olive oil
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 tbsp minced garlic

In a saucepan, melt butter or oil. Add garlic and simmer for 3 minutes. Pop your bag of popcorn as directed. In a large mixing bowl pour in your popcorn. Strain melted mixture and Parmesan and toss.

Rosemary Sea Salt popcorn

2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp finely chopped rosemary

*This flavor is extra if you prefer a sweeter popcorn. It's one of my favorites.
