]]> Popcorn is the quintessential snack for movie nights and get-togethers. But why settle for plain butter and salt when there are so many creative ways to elevate this humble snack? Here are some of the best ideas for upgrading your popcorn.

Cheese and Herbs Delight

Start with a base of freshly popped corn and while it’s still hot, sprinkle a generous amount of grated Parmesan or pecorino cheese over it. Add a mix of dried herbs like thyme, rosemary, and oregano. Toss everything together while the popcorn is still warm to help the cheese melt slightly and stick to the kernels.

Sweet and Salty Caramel Crunch

If you love the classic sweet and salty combination, caramel popcorn is a sure winner. You can easily make a homemade caramel sauce by melting butter and brown sugar together, adding a touch of cream for richness. Drizzle the warm caramel over the popcorn, then sprinkle some sea salt over the top. 

Spicy Sriracha Lime

If you enjoy a bit of heat, spicy Sriracha lime popcorn will not disappoint. Mix a few tablespoons of Sriracha sauce with melted butter, a squeeze of lime juice, and a hint of lime zest. Drizzle this spicy, tangy mixture over hot popcorn and toss thoroughly.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup uncooked pudding rice
  • 3.5 cups full-fat milk
  • ¼ cup demerara sugar
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon dried nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon dried cinnamon

  3. Add all the ingredients (leaving a bit of nutmeg and sugar) to the dish and stir well.
  4. Sprinkle over the remaining nutmeg and sugar.
  5. Place in the oven for 50 minutes, until the top is well browned.

This yummy day originated in France, and it’s focused entirely on this chic dessert, with pastry shops giving out complimentary macarons for charitable causes. Here are five surprising facts about these colorful cookies that you probably didn’t know.

Origins Unveiled

Forget what you thought you knew—macarons actually have Italian roots! Catherine de’ Medici brought these fancy treats to France in the 16th century, and the French took them and ran with them.

Mix-Up Alert

Before you make a crucial mistake, macarons and macaroons are two totally different things. While Macarons are made of a mix of almond flour, egg white, and sugar, macaroons are all about dense, coconut-based chewiness.

Calorie Check

You might want to sit down for this one—macarons are surprisingly low-calorie, with just 70 to 100 calories per cookie. So go ahead, indulge in all the flavors without the guilt trip.

DIY Dream

Thanks to the Ladurée Sucré cookbook, macaron lovers everywhere can now whip up these Insta-worthy treats in their own kitchen. Get ready to flex your baking skills and impress your feed.

Evolutionary Eats

Did you know that back in the day, macarons only had a single layer? In the 20th century, they leveled up into double-deckers, adding even more flair to this fancy French favorite.

]]> With over 300 kinds of bread and more than 1,200 different types of rolls and mini-breads, there is a lot to discover when it comes to German bread. If you’re ready to start your exploration of German culinary traditions, here are some traditional German breads that are absolutely worth trying

Brötchen (German Rolls)

Brötchen, which translates to “little breads,” are small, crusty rolls that are a ubiquitous sight at German breakfast tables. They come in various forms, including plain white, whole grain, and versions dotted with seeds, nuts, or grains. Crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, there’s nothing like a fresh Brötchen.

Brezel (Pretzel)

While the pretzel has become famous worldwide, its origins are deeply rooted in German baking traditions. The classic German Brezel is larger and softer than its international counterparts, with a distinctive dark, shiny crust and a soft, chewy interior. Perfect for a snack and excellent with a cold beer.

Schwarzbrot (Black Bread)

Schwarzbrot, or black bread, is a whole rye bread that is popular in Northern Germany. It gets its name from its dark color, which comes from a combination of rye flour and a longer baking process. It pairs best with strong cheeses, smoked meats, and fish.

]]> It turns out that there’s such a thing as Macaron Day, and it’s celebrated every year in March! This yummy day originated in France, and it’s focused entirely on this chic dessert, with pastry shops giving out complimentary macarons for charitable causes. Here are five surprising facts about these colorful cookies that you probably didn’t know.

Origins Unveiled

Forget what you thought you knew—macarons actually have Italian roots! Catherine de’ Medici brought these fancy treats to France in the 16th century, and the French took them and ran with them.

Mix-Up Alert

Before you make a crucial mistake, macarons and macaroons are two totally different things. While Macarons are made of a mix of almond flour, egg white, and sugar, macaroons are all about dense, coconut-based chewiness.

You might want to sit down for this one—macarons are surprisingly low-calorie, with just 70 to 100 calories per cookie. So go ahead, indulge in all the flavors without the guilt trip.

DIY Dream

Thanks to the Ladurée Sucré cookbook, macaron lovers everywhere can now whip up these Insta-worthy treats in their own kitchen. Get ready to flex your baking skills and impress your feed.

Evolutionary Eats

Did you know that back in the day, macarons only had a single layer? In the 20th century, they leveled up into double-deckers, adding even more flair to this fancy French favorite.

]]> With over 300 kinds of bread and more than 1,200 different types of rolls and mini-breads, there is a lot to discover when it comes to German bread. If you’re ready to start your exploration of German culinary traditions, here are some traditional German breads that are absolutely worth trying

Brötchen (German Rolls)

Brötchen, which translates to “little breads,” are small, crusty rolls that are a ubiquitous sight at German breakfast tables. They come in various forms, including plain white, whole grain, and versions dotted with seeds, nuts, or grains. Crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, there’s nothing like a fresh Brötchen.

Brezel (Pretzel)

While the pretzel has become famous worldwide, its origins are deeply rooted in German baking traditions. The classic German Brezel is larger and softer than its international counterparts, with a distinctive dark, shiny crust and a soft, chewy interior. Perfect for a snack and excellent with a cold beer.

Schwarzbrot (Black Bread)

Schwarzbrot, or black bread, is a whole rye bread that is popular in Northern Germany. It gets its name from its dark color, which comes from a combination of rye flour and a longer baking process. It pairs best with strong cheeses, smoked meats, and fish.
