I'm a big popcorn fan and often it's a meal for me...this savory one would be perfect for that!(I pop mine in the microwave in a gadget made for that...no oil!)
Bonnie, we use the hot-air popcorn popper, and it's no oil needed either, just hot air. Very convenient, a lot less calories and much healthier. This recipe is like a meal, it's savory and delicious :)
