"Cheesy" Popcorn

I have ALWAYS LOVED POPCORN! Ever since I can remember, my dad would make hot air popped popcorn with lots of butter and salt and we would eat it together!  Now I share this love with my own family.  We make popcorn at least once a week. It is the perfect snack for a movie night or if you need to ease a few food cravings! We make many versions, here is one of our favorites, made with nutritional yeast. Nutritional yeast is full of protein and vitamins, especially B vitamins. It has a strong cheesy flavor which perfectly compliments popcorn!

"Cheesy" Popcorn
1/2 cup organic popcorn kernels
1-2 T extra virgin olive oil
1 T nutritional yeast
Himalayan salt to taste
This makes enough for one large bowl. Place the kernels in a hot air popcorn popper. Once the kernels have popped, drizzle half the olive oil on the popcorn and sprinkle half the nutritional yeast over the kernels. Add a sprinkling of salt and then mix the popcorn with a large spoon. Repeat with the remaining oil, nutritional yeast and salt.
