This recipe is almost as quick as popping a bag into the microwave and the result is WAY more impressive than that highly processed crap. Maybe you can pop up a big bowl, snuggle on the couch with the one you love, and watch a good movie or play Scrabble. Happy Weekend!!!

Black Truffle and Parmesan Popcorn

• 1/4 cup black truffle infused olive oil
• 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
• 1/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp black truffle butter, melted 
• Salt and pepper to taste

In a heavy bottom pot with a lid, combine the olive oil and popcorn kernels. Place on the lid and heat over medium high heat. As the oil heats and the kernels brown, they will begin to pop. Every couple of seconds, heartily shake the pot so that the unpopped kernels settle to the bottom of the pan. When most of the popping stops, remove the pan from the heat. Pour the butter over the popcorn evenly. Sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Enjoy!

Plum and Thyme Fruit Tea

This mild tea has a lightly sweet and herbal flavor. Of course, the longer it sits, the more flavored it becomes. If you don’t have thyme, you could always substitute basil or marjoram, though they might be overpowering if you add too much.
