We are very pleased that Wendy from A Day in the Life on a Farm is our very special guest host for Cook the Books. It was wonderful that Wendy was able to step in and host for the June/July edition. She chose A Bakery in Paris by Aimee Runyan for this round. It was…
Raspberry-Cornbread Muffins and a new Civil War novel: Measure of Devotion by Nell Joslin

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

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 be part…
