Popcorn is one of the easiest kid-friendly snacks. Skip store-bought flavored popcorn with artificial ingredients and whip up a batch of chili-lime popcorn at home. This is a great basic recipe by Chef Alekka Sweeney to get your littles into the kitchen with you. Once you show them the simple process, they can take the lead for future snack preparations. Plus, it saves you from drenching your popcorn in fatty butter or high-sodium salt. That means you can relax from the start of the recipe all teh way to enjoying the final product.
