Don't Blow Your Healthy Habits at the Movies This Weekend
It's a big movie weekend, for sure. With New Moon finally out, I've already committed myself to spend an afternoon at the theater — the only complication is that I'm not so fond of the movie-theater fare. It's an admittedly challenging place to stick to healthy food choices, since there usually aren't any to begin with.
October Is National Popcorn Poppin’ Month
It's that time of the year again . . .
Taste Test: Cape Cod Popcorn
I'm a huge snacker, and admittedly have more than a few downfalls. One of them is popcorn. Combine this with a shipment we recently received of new popcorn from Cape Cod Chips, and you can guess where the story is headed.
Popcorn Hopping With Antioxidants
The list of super foods just got a little snackier: popcorn is loaded with antioxidants. We have known for a while now that blueberries and broccoli contain high amounts of disease-fighting micronutrients, but whole grains are also high in polyphenols that can help in the nutrition fight against cancer and heart disease. Even whole grain foods like cracker and cereals — especially those with added cinnamon and cocoa, which are both known for their beneficial antioxidant content — are high in polyphenols.
Come Party With Me: Oscars Viewing — Menu
Every February I invite an intimate group of friends over to watch the Academy Awards. In 2007 I cooked a menu that featured Wolfgang Puck's recipes. In 2008, I made a smorgasbord of elegant, award-winning appetizers.

Come Party With Me: Election Night — Menu
Since the election night party starts around dinnertime, I plan on providing guests with some substantial snacking. However, the party is at Elixir, a bar with no kitchen, so all of the food has to be made in advance, and it must taste delicious served at room temperature.
To keep up with the patriotic theme, LibertySugar and I have come up with clever names for each of the dishes.
It's Popcorn Time!
October is National Popcorn Month, and there are so many reasons to celebrate. Every October, the kernel harvest signals another year of the air-popped pleasure. Popcorn is indeed one of America's all-time favorite snacks, with over 16 billion quarts consumed each year.
eBay Find of the Day: Popcorn Motorcycle Man
I can't tell you how happy I was, in the middle of the madness that is Mercury Retrograde, to be greeted with the following words: "You are bidding on a small piece of Crunch 'n' Munch popcorn and peanut flavored snack. The peculiar aspect of this particular popcorn product is that it is shaped in great detail like a small man with a peanut helmet cruisin' along on his motorcycle!" Do I really need to say more?
Do You Smuggle Food Into Movie Theaters?
When I made microwave popcorn the other day, it sparked a conversation in the office about sneaking food into movie theaters.
Considering the majority of you like to eat popcorn at the movies, I'm wondering how many of you sneak in your popcorn? While I've never done the deed, I have plenty of friends who do, because store-bought popcorn is a fraction of the cost of movie-theater popcorn.
