Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday link up! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama + Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl to create awesome healthy recipes each week! This week’s theme = Cookout because it’s still #CookoutWeek! (Aka double-linkup today! Please only link up with Foodie Friday though if you’re not participating in #CookoutWeek!)
Disclaimer: I was provided free products to develop recipes for #CookoutWeek. As always, all thoughts + opinions are mine and mine alone.
If you’re like me and happen to love popcorn as a snack, you’ll be pretty happy about this recipe. And also the discovery of this hot air popcorn popper. :O I won a giveaway from Samantha a little while ago and have been looking for all the excuses ever to make more popcorn. This popcorn maker is the shiz! There’s even a butter melter at the top to make life even easier, haha. (I’ll include instructions for stove-top popcorn too though!)
I’ve talked about my love for Barlean’s butter-flavored coconut oil for a while now..and I’m back again with another recipe! I’ve been wanting to make my own kettle corn at home for ages, and figured it was finally time! :P Yay for a vegan recipe for homemade kettle corn?!
Beware–we finished this in one sitting not even 30 minutes into Doctor Strange. >_> They’re just on the slight side of addicting. :D…

I’m a huge popcorn fan so this recipe is right up my alley! I’ve also been looking for a new air popper since ours fizzled out – I’m going to look up this one!
Popcorn’s the best! :D I really like this air popper–the butter melter is an awesome feature, hehehe.
I have never made kettle corn but we love popcorn around here so it’s time to give it a try.
Yay! I hope you like this! :]!
Yum! We are big popcorn eaters in this house. The one advantage of our sucky (new) microwave is that I’ve got my husband making fresh popcorn with an air popper instead of the microwave stuff.

That popcorn machine would be a dangerous kitchen addition for me -I’d eat popcorn for dinner every night

Yum! What a simple recipe and great giveaway!
Thanks, Carrie! :]
This looks soooo good! I really need to get my hands on some Barleans!
It’s one of my favorite products from them! So good! *-*
I never thought to make my own kettle corn popcorn – such a cool idea!
I like it too much but am too cheap to buy it so I figured trying to make it on my own would be a good alternative! :P
I LOVE Kettle corn! The sweet and salty combo gets me every time!

Me too! It’s one of my favorite “flavor profiles” for snacks! :P
who knew it was this easy.
Agreed! I love that I can make it on my own now! :P
I love kettle corn! I like that it’s slightly sweet but still nice and salty!

Me too! It’s so addicting! :P
Okay, I gotta say a big “Duh!” LOL I love popcorn and I love kettle corn, but never think to make my own. And, it’s so easy…. thanks for the wake-up call ;-)
hehehe, I love kettle corn but haven’t tried making it on my own til now–so glad to find out that it’s not hard at all! :P
I love kettle corn! I’ve never made my own before but now I want some :)

This is so fun! I would love to make homemade kettle corn!
Yay! I hope you get a chance to make it sometime! :]
Sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing – I love all popcorn but kettle corn is my favorite!
It’s definitely one of my favorites as well! *-*
I just love popcorn! We have family movie night 2-3 times a week, so we are always messing around with spices and recipes!
That’s awesome! Got any favorites to share? I’m always looking for more popcorn ideas! :P
Mmmmm kettle corn!!!!! This sounds bomb!
Thanks, Rachel! :]
We love popcorn, caramel corn, kettle corn…really we aren’t picky over here!
hahaha, me too! :P
Yum, popcorn is one of my favourite snacks!
Same here! :D
I love this! I’m a popcorn addict, and love the flavors you used! Can’t wait to try your recipe.
Yay! I hope you like it! :]
This sounds sooo good right about now! The perfect snack!
hehehe, it’s so addicting! *-*
I’ve been in search of a good popcorn maker for family movie nights. I’ll have to look into the one that you have. Thanks for the recommendation!

Ooo, hope you like this one! It’s been working rather well for me thus far! *-*
YUM! I haven’t had kettle corn in SO long, but love it! What a great recipe!
It had been ages for me too, so I figured that had to change! :P
Nice post,I love it ❤
Thank you!
I’m not gonna lie, popcorn is my favorite snack, ever! For me, though, it’s hard to improve on good old salty and buttery popcorn. We had an air popper when we lived in the USA and it was my all-time favorite appliance. Now we use the stove which is slightly less foolproof when it comes to burned kernels, haha!

haha, that’s true!! I’ve definitely had less success with stovetop but that was my standard before this popper came into my life! :P
Yum yum yum!
The last movie we watched was Peter Rabbit (last night at home) and it was super cute!
Kristy from Southern In Law recently posted…Recent Things: SERIOUS Bargains and Lucky Charms
Aww, I haven’t seen that one yet, but it looked really cute!
Isn’t that popcorn popper amazing!
I’m so gonna try this recipe!
Yay! I hope you like it! :]!
Our motto was there’s always room for popcorn. We could totally stuff ourselves at an all you can eat and order a jumbo popcorn bucket at the movies that night. I’m definitely trying this.
hahaha, I have that motto for ice cream, but I’m pretty sure it could encompass popcorn as well! :P
Popcorn is one of my favorite snacks! Most of the time I just use flavacol on it – that orange salt stuff that goes on movie theater popcorn.
Oh gosh, yum! I LOVE popcorn – definitely one of my favorite snacks. And kettle corn really is awesome.
