Honey Sea Salt Popcorn Recipe

Happy June everyone! Can you believe we’re almost halfway through 2014 already? Pat and I have now officially lived in San Francisco for one year and every day I fall more madly in love with this amazing city. I really don’t like season at all, so to live in a place where the weather is the same every day suits me just fine. We may not have the hot summer nights of Wisconsin, but when I’m running in shorts in November it’s all worth it.

Speaking of runs, my New Year’s resolution was to do a long run every weekend that I’m not working. After three weeks of mowing on carbs and argan oil during our honeymoon in Morocco, I came back to find that I’d gained five pounds during that short time! I used the excuse of a New Year’s resolution to re-commit to running. My goal was simple – do a long run (at least an hour) every weekend that I am not working at the hospital. I’m happy to report that I’ve stuck to it so far.

Honey Sea Salt Popcorn Recipe

Having a goal is definitely paying off. I’m back at my usual weight and when I was at the doctor’s office last week, he checked my pulse and my resting heart rate is in the 40’s – a sign that my heart is in tip-top shape. I’m even considering signing up for a race or two this summer with some friends.

Today I want to share with you a recipe for honey sea salt popcorn. Popcorn is a great healthy snack that is full of fiber, so it’s very filling. The butter in this recipe makes it a little less healthy than usual, but it’s still a great alternative to something like a baked good. I used this special honey that my friend Kosta sent me. The complexity of his white thyme & forest herbs honey really elevated this snack from ordinary to gourmet.

    I put honey in my protein shakes to sweeten them up a bit, and I love putting honey on peanut butter (or any nut butter) on toast!

    Ohmydearlordyes! I want popcorn always. I’ve gone as far as going to a movie theather to buy just the popcorn because I needed it that much. I just bought a fun air popper that I’m dying to try out and this recipe is the inspiration I needed!

    As far as honey goes… I like it in butter on cornbread. Hello summer in my mouth.

    Honey drizzled on toast with peanut butter is the best.

    Love this! Recently started following your blog and adore your style.

    I’ve always been a popcorn fanatic and put honey on just about anything with yeast in it… but I never considered the two together. I’ll have to try this during the weekend for movie night! Simple, but smart!

    OMG! My husband and I just discovered that you can pop your own popcorn in a brown paper bag and now we are trying different ways to top our popcorn. This recipe is so wonderful and is now my favorite. So easy and so super! Thanks for sharing

      That’s great! I eat popcorn at least 3-4 times per week so let me know if you have any recipes I should try! Also I use a whirly pop which has been life-changing: http://bit.ly/2KaSd2I, but maybe I’ll have to try your bag method!
