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%

We had four participants this month.

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

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

By Eliot, on January 1st, 2025%

Then there were three.

I’m hosting Movies & Munchies this month and since it’s a busy time I decided to just do a potluck. You could pick whatever holiday movie suits your fancy—the favorite that the fam watches every year, a classic, or even something from your archives.

I love the premise . . . → Read More: Holiday Pot Luck and a Movies & Munchies Round-up
