Diane's Answer

Dear Diane,

In the winter months, one of the ways I love to spend time with my family is with a movie night! Do you have any ideas for making it even more special?

Dear Jennifer,

I love movie nights with the family too! They’re a cost-effective way to have a night with the people you love and a great way to stay cozy when it’s cold out there!

One of my favourite ways to “spice up” our movie nights is with an assortment of delicious popcorn! You can use your own favourite flavours, such as Parmesan cheese, garlic or onion salt, dill or even salt and pepper! Alternatively, there are lots of flavour shakers you can buy at your local grocery store.

Once you’ve chosen your flavours, melt some butter or margarine and add it to the popcorn in a large bowl. After it’s well-mixed and cooled, put the popcorn in a large Ziploc® brand Easy Zipper® Storage Bag, add approximately 1 teaspoon (5 mL) of your favourite spice or flavour, close the bag and give it a shake! Taste it to see if it needs more flavour, and remember, you can use multiple bags to create a variety of flavours to share with your family.

Sincerely,
Diane

With summer fast approaching and school almost out, I need to get my kids ready and excited for summer camp. It’s always a bit stressful for everyone, including me. Any ideas to make this go more smoothly?
