I was at the thrift store and found this adorable Disney Recipe book called The Magic Kitchen Cookbook
– Good Food that’s Fun to Make! I paid just $1 for the book. Here is one of the recipes in the book. The book is really great for kids because it gives healthy tips, cooking basics, fitness, food, and recipe logs. Each page is beautifully illustrated with the characters we all love. You can find the book on Amazon.
My husband and I made all 3 flavors listed. We liked the Parmesan Ranch and Chocolate Cinnamon the best. The book uses the 100 calorie microwave popcorn bags. I personally air pop my popcorn. Basically for every 5-6 cups of popcorn use 2 TBL of seasoning.
Here are the recipes:
- Cinnamon- Chocolate Recipe: Put one 4-serving size package sugar-free fat-free chocolate-flavored instant pudding and pie filly mix and 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir with a spoon to mix. Cover with lid and seal tightly. Store at room temperature for up to 6 months. Makes about 6 tablespoons.
- Parmesan-Ranch Recipe: Put 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese and 1 envelope Ranch salad dressing mix in a small bowl. Stir with a spoon to mix. Pour the mixture into a container and seal tightly. Store in the fridge for up to 6 months. Makes 1/2 cup.
- Pizza Seasoning: Put 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and 2 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning in a small bowl. Stir with a spoon to mix. Pour the mixture into a container and seal tightly. Store in the fridge for up to 6 months. Makes 10 tablespoons.
If I was able to eat sugar…. the Cinnamon Chocolate is the one I would go for.
Well, how could it get any easier. I bet my daycare kiddos would love the chocolate cinnamon popcorn. I will have to try that. Thanks for sharing.

That sounds delicious! I’ll definitely be trying this out the next time we have movie night!
The pizza one is my favorite 🙂 So making this on the weekend!
Interesting! I never thought of making different flavored popcorn. I’m going to try this, thanks for sharing!
I love garlic, so that would be my choice!
These look awesome!! I will definitely have to try these with my kids for the Doctor Who Marathon we’re doing in the evenings. 😉
The Cinnamon- Chocolate Recipe looks like I could actually use it! I am diabetic but since it is using no sugar etc——THANK YOU
Plus, cinnamon is great for lowering blood sugar. My husband and MIL both have diabetes, and I have PCOS, so cinnamon is used a lot in my home.
Oh gosh… all of these look super yummy! We love popcorn as a healthy and delicious snack option 🙂 Thanks for sharing! And I learned something new about cinnamon in the comments 🙂
I feel dumb, but I never thought of making the seasoning myself… next on my to do list!
Oh this is awesome! I was trying to think of combinations the other day. I have done the cinnamon and chocolate but never thought of the pizza one!
This looks like a great kids’ cookbook. That parmesan ranch popcorn sounds delicious.
Great for kids and Disney lovers like me 🙂
Popcorn is one of my favorite things. Would love to try all of these.

I love popcorn! What a great deal you got. 1$ for the book, what? That is so awesome!
That book is so cool! I wouldn’t bought I too for $1!!
What a fun find! And chocolate cinnamon popcorn sounds super yummy!
My kids will love that. Do you use any oil or just shake the seasoning on the popcorn after popping?
I use a tiny bit of butter spray.
I love it when I find great deals like that! I hate popcorn, but my family might enjoy these!
Oh we love our popcorn and haven’t tried any crazy flavors instead of butter. Looks like I will be now. These recipes are easy enough for me to follow :). Thanks for sharing and joining our hop this week!
