Easy Italian Popcorn

Since we’re focusing on green this week, we thought a tasty snack was in order. When you think of green popcorn, you probably imagine something involving corn syrup and green Jello powder, but we thought we’d try something a little more savory. This popcorn is the perfect thing to serve at your next cocktail party (maybe serve it with Misha’s fancy beverage!)

This popcorn has all the flavors of garlic cheese bread, but because it’s popcorn you don’t have to wait to serve it with spaghetti! The recipe calls for fresh herbs, but if you don’t have any on hand, just make this with some dried Italian seasoning. I tried both ways, and they’re both delicious, but if you have fresh herbs I would try those first!

So, go pop Under the Tuscan Sun in your dvd player, then pop yourself some of this delicious popcorn, and it will almost be like you’re in Italy!!
