Bougie Popcorn and Letting God Lead

In this episode of The Dish It Girl Podcast, Dina Deleasa Gonsar sits down with her friend Ashlee Gadd , writer, photographer, and founder of Coffee and Crumbs.  In this episode, they talk about her new book, You’re in Good Company. We talk about Ashlee’s heart for encouraging women to seek authentic connection and give practical ways to help us foster community in everyday life. Ashlee and Dina talk about the importance of authentic connection over perfection. We can gather and connect over something as simple as popcorn. Small intentional acts build the foundation for lasting relationships. If you are struggling with finding friendships or community this episode will encourage you! This week in the kitchen: Featured Recipe: Bougie Popcorn from the book You’re in Good Company Bougie Popcorn Ingredients 1 tbsp olive oil ½ cup popcorn kernels 2 tbsp butter 1 tbsp truffle oil 3 tbsp nutritional yeast 1 tsp garlic powder ½ tsp sea salt instructions Place a large, heavy-bottomed pot on the stove. Add the olive and 3 popcorn kernels to the pot, and place a lid on top. Turn the heat to medium-high. When you hear the kernels, turn the heat down to medium, and put the lid back on. I like to keep the lid propped open ever so slightly to let steam out. Be careful not to open it too much, as piping hot kernels might shoot across your kitchen (ask me how I know). Once the popping starts, carefully grasp the sides of the pot with potholders and give it a gentle shake every minute or so (this helps prevent burning). When the pops start to slow down (about 8 to 10 second lapses in between), remove the pot from the heat. Add the butter and truffle oil. Put the lid back on and shake the pot. Resources: Dina’s Cookbook: https://www.amazon.com/At-Kitchen-Sink-Recipes-Cookbook/dp/0593728939 You’re In Good Company Book: https://www.coffeeandcrumbs.net/book Ashlee Gadd @ashleegadd, @coffeeandcrumbs Coffee and Crumbs: https://www.coffeeandcrumbs.net/ Prefer video?
