Bean Salad and The Life List

By Eliot, on April 26th, 2025%

The Life List (Netflix 2025) is the April Movies & Munchies feature film. Wendy (A Day In the Life on the Farm) and Camilla (Culinary Cam) are hosting. I had not heard of this movie and was intrigued. I love Connie Britton, too.

Cookbook Review: Truly Simple by Kristin Cavallari

By Eliot, on February 26th, 2025%

Most of the “best of” or “best seller” cookbooks I pick up at the library are by authors I’ve never heard of. I’ve mentioned before, if they’re TikTok stars, I’ve never heard of them. If they’ve gone viral on YouTube, who knows? I don’t. So maybe my reviews are a little less star struck. . . . → Read More: Cookbook Review: Truly Simple by Kristin Cavallari

By Eliot, on February 22nd, 2025%

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

The Secret Sandwich (and Dipping) Sauce for Super Bowl Sandwiches

By Eliot, on February 7th, 2025%

I decided to go through my saved draft archives and see what I could clean up. Honestly, some of them just needed a bit of editing and could be published. Some were missing a lot if information, and some were just mere ideas that I jotted down and saved to explore and create later. . . . → Read More: The Secret Sandwich (and Dipping) Sauce for Super Bowl Sandwiches

Pumpkin-Oatmeal Dog Treats

By Eliot, on January 22nd, 2025%

I usually make at least one batch of dog treats during the holidays. I’ve posted my usual recipe here.

This old recipe is good and the dogs love it, but it was a little convoluted to make, especially this past holiday season when I had NO time.

I had four huge pumpkins to . . . → Read More: Pumpkin-Oatmeal Dog Treats

Pot luck recipes plus one new offering

By Eliot, on December 22nd, 2024%

For this year’s holiday movie, I went back a few years to A Christmas Memory, originally done for ABC Stage 67 in 1966! Truman Capote narrates. . . . → Read More: Pot luck recipes plus one new offering

Infused Cocktail Kits

By Eliot, on December 17th, 2024%

Have you priced some of those infused cocktail kits that are popping up for holiday giving? They’re like $30 and up and that’s without the liquor. I’ve been stalking those jars lately and jotting down what the ingredients are. I found very few recipes online and the ones I did find had pretty sketchy . . . → Read More: Infused Cocktail Kits

It’s never too early to start holiday movie viewing! Elf is the November Movies & Munchies feature. Keep reading for an unusual pasta salad (with maple syrup but without candy sprinkles). . . . → Read More: Elf revisited

Habanero PLUS Oil

By Eliot, on November 10th, 2024%

The peppers are the only thing that have produced this season. (We still haven’t had a hard freeze so I am still picking them. )

When I finally got enough habaneros at one picking to make something, I thought about making some spicy vinegar but I have way too many flavored vinegars on . . . → Read More: Habanero PLUS Oil
