RECIPE: EVERYTHING BAGEL POPCORN WITH
HOMEMADE EVERYTHING SEASONING
While it’s easy to purchase an “everything bagel” seasoning mix, this recipe shows how easy it is to make your own.
Make extra to keep in the pantry. Use it in salad dressings, on cole slaw and potato salad, eggs, green salads, grilled chicken and fish, yogurt and cottage cheese, and of course, on soft cheeses like cream cheese and goat cheese (photo #3).
Thanks to the National Popcorn Board for the recipe.

________________
*Bagel Holidays: National Bagel Day is January 15th. National Bagels & Lox Day is February 9th. National Bagelfest Day is July 26th. In 2018, the Thomas’ English Muffin division of Bimbo Bakeries USA decided to move the date from February 9th to January 15th to avoid competing with National Pizza Day. This was a marketing decision of a single company, but today January 15th is the date that appears first in an online search, while February 9th got lox added to the bagels.
†Business of Popping Corn Day commemorates the invention of the first large-scale commercial oil popcorn popper by Charles Cretors in 1885.
