Hints from Heloise

Dear Heloise: Since I am trying to watch my weight, one of my favorite snacks is popcorn. Of course, I love the butter flavor, but that isn’t always the best choice.

I have found that you can use all kinds of things to season it. A couple of neat things I have found are dry dressing mixes and seasoned salts. They are delicious on the popcorn. – Karen L. from Illinois

Yummy! I’m heading to the microwave right now to fix some popcorn. You also can use herb-blend seasonings, taco or chili seasonings, grated cheese or even Parmesan. Have you ever wanted to make salt-free or seasoning salt at home? Well, now is your chance. Send for my popular four-page pamphlet packed with many seasoning recipes and some handy substitutions that will save you a trip to the store.
