DIY FRIDAY!
Wait… this isn’t a DIY blog?
Uhhhh yes it is! When you cook… don’t you… Do It Yourself?! I think so. And today we are making popcorn seasonings ourselves! Not just your average popcorn seasonings either… super fun and flavorful ones like ranch, mexican, herbal, asian, spicy curry, and smoky bbq!!!
So many flavors!! Sounds awesome right? I know. I agree.
Now, one of my main reasons for making these adorable DIY popcorn seasonings was to put them in cute little spice jars with tags and give them to friends/hostesses! I still have yet to do that… BUT… it’s on my to do list… tehehe.
Last thing, you know what’s extra cool about these popcorn seasonings? Well, when you take out the word popcorn… they become just seasonings! You can whip these up and store them in your spice area then use them to season all kinds of things like tacos, pasta, chicken, fish, red meat, sandwiches, roasted veggies, etc!
Isn’t that awesome?! I KNOW.

Instructions
Measure spices in a small mixing bowl and whisk to combine. Transfer mixture into a 4 ounce spice bottle and label appropriately. Sprinkle over popcorn or other foods as desired!
Extra optional step: Mince spices together in a mini food processor to make them extra fine before placing into the spice jar... this way they will stick to the butter-y popcorn more easily! Mine as pictured are not minced - just an FYI.
Recipe Notes
Each recipe yields 8 tablespoons of seasoning that fills one 4 ounce spice jar! These are the spice jars I purchased.
