I am always intrigued when I hear about a new pizza cookbook. While lounging around one weekend morning, I saw a story on CBS about Philadelphia’s Down North Pizza and their recent cookbook publication. I had my local bookstore order it for me. I was intrigued about the story behind the book (and the . . . → Read More: We the Pizza

The Movies & Munchies film for March is Wild Mountain Thyme (2020). Terri from Our Good Life (https://www.terristeffes.com/) is hosting.
I had preconceived ideas about this movie. From the title I imagined a Hallmark or Lifetime movie. The sweeping views of the beautiful Irish coast opening intrigued me though. Then I spotted Christopher Walken . . . → Read More: Wild Mountain Thyme

I pride myself in not being a fan-girl fanatic (most of the time). I’m not sure who I would really pay big bucks to go see or meet. (I did drop $85 bucks to meet Anthony Bourdain, RIP, once though.)

13 Going on 30 is the Movies & Munchies film for February. Camilla from Culinary Cam is hosting.
I am a Jennifer Garner fan so I’m not sure why I never even heard of this film. We’ve all experienced the awkward middle school angst along with the obligatory mean girls that seem to . . . → Read More: 13 Going on 30 and Pina Colada Cupcakes

I wrote recently that I didn’t post a lot of book reviews for Lit Happens, a FB book club. I decided that I would indeed do another review for our February Selection The Five Wishes of Mr. Murray McBride by Joe Siple. Camilla from Culinary Cam is hosting.
