By Eliot, on February 26th, 2026%

Wendy from A Day in the Life on a Farm is hosting this month’s Movies & Munchies feature.

It’s February. The love month. Tempted by Love was the perfect movie for that. It’s a Terry McMillian “presents” movie so I had high hopes because I have enjoyed her books and adapted-from films like How . . . → Read More: Tempted by Love: Movies & Munchies February Film

By Eliot, on November 20th, 2025%

Hannah and Her Sisters is the November Movies & Munchies selection. Camilla is hosting. It’s getting a bit harder to find Thanksgiving films that we haven’t already featured, either at M&M or at the old Food ‘n Flix group. Glad Camilla found this one.

I am a firm believer that you are either . . . → Read More: Our Thanksgiving movie: Hannah and Her Sisters

Sundried Tomato and Artichoke Pasta for Movies & Munchies

By Eliot, on June 29th, 2025%

The Netflix movies I’ve been watching lately have been cute. Not great but a good way to spend an afternoon when it’s either raining torrentially or it’s too hot to go outside (already). We’ve been back and forth with those as our only weather patterns. Sigh. It’s going to be a long, humid, hot . . . → Read More: Sundried Tomato and Artichoke Pasta for Movies & Munchies

The Taste of Things Roundup for Movies & Munchies, May Edition

By Eliot, on June 5th, 2025%

I’m always on the hunt for a good culinary-themed movie and I think I may have hit the jackpot with The Taste of Things (France 2023). It’s a beautifully shot film that totally focuses on food (and love). I hosted that film for Movies & Munchies for May.

We had four participants this month.

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.

Wild Mountain Thyme

By Eliot, on March 23rd, 2025%

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
