Something New Under the Sun 

Quinn Pop�corn will com�pletely change the way you think about this classic microwave treat. This is the best bag of microwave pop�corn you have ever tasted, and considering the way they are flying off the shelves, our cus�tomers couldn't agree more!

First of all, it comes in fan�tastic epi�curean fla�vors like Parmesan & Rose�mary, Maple & Sea Salt, Lemon & Sea Salt, Hickory Smoked Cheddar, and Olive Oil & Herbs. Their list of fla�vors come from their test kitchen, and begin as cus�tomer suggestions.

Sec�ondly, every�thing about it is good for you: from non-toxic pack�aging to clean, healthy ingre�di�ents to the happy smile it leaves on sat�is�fied faces. The owners bend over backwards to produce the purest, most delicious product they can dream up.

 

 

In Theaters Everywhere...

Over the weekend my sister and I saw the movie Chef. It reminded me to strive to do what I am passionate about.

 

I was also reminded that this is the beginning of Blockbuster Movie season. Walking through the theater, I got a preview of what's to come. The walls were covered in posters advertising what will be blown up, turned into robots, animated, scared to death, invaded by aliens, laughed at, and enjoyed.

 

Summer Movie season is a little of everything. There are a few heavy films here and there (The Fault In Our Stars, anyone?) But for the most part the movies reflect the season. It's a fun and carefree way to spend some time cooling off from the afternoon heat, and to ingest way more than your daily allowance of sugar from candy and sodium from buttered popcorn.

 

I have been introducing my kids to some of my favorite movies from when I was their age. Back to the Future was a big hit, as was The Goonies. Unfortunately, I was made to suffer through Ace Ventura Pet Detective-but it was worth it if only to watch my boys totally loose it laughing.

 

This week's recipe is inspired by one of my favorite summer movies, Twister. "Tasty Cow Aunt Meg." Twister is one of my guilty pleasures, and everything a summer movie should be. It's scientifically questionable, totally cheezy and epically cool when seen on the big screen. (It's also quite good when shown on the garage door on a hot summer night!)
