You know when I really feel like a failure?

No, it’s not when I didn’t achieve so-and-so…

I feel like an absolute failure when eating popcorn.

Ya see… the thing is, I ALWAYS tell myself “just one more handful” – and the next thing I know I’m finishing off the bag. E-V-E-R-Y T-I-M-E.

Mmmmm it’s SO good.

However, microwave popcorn is full of crappy ingredients that have absolutely ZERO health benefits. Sigh.

But because I love to WIN WIN WIN no matter what what what, I was determined to find a yummy and natural snacking solution.

Alas… CAULIFLOWER popcorn.

Yup, you read that right – check it out below!

Personalize this popcorn by adding your favorite flavors. I LOVE spicy food, so I add a bit of chile powder to spice it up a bit more! You can also add:

Fresh ground black pepper
Cumin
Garlic
Parsley
Dill
Basil

Or you can keep the basic flavor and flavor them further with a yummy dip or sauce, such as:

Happy Snacking!
