A Parsi-inspired salad for The Last Letter of Rachel Ellsworth, a TLC Book Review
I have really enjoyed Barbara O’Neal‘s other novels so when Lisa from the TLC Book Tour emailed me about The Last Letter of Rachel Ellsworth I immediately responded, “Yes, I would love to read it!” I received a free review copy of this book from the author for this stopover. I was not paid for this…
Sundried Tomato and Artichoke Pasta for Movies & Munchies
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 summer…
A Bakery in Paris for June/July Cook the Books
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
Measure of Devotion is an intriguing and well-written Civil War drama about a mother’s devotion.
April/May Cook the Books: The Hazelbourne Ladies Motorcycle and Flying Club by Helen Simonson
Read on for a review of the book and my take on Tilly’s Famous Bacon and Onion Sandwiches using onion jam. YUM!
The Apricot Lane Farms Cookbook (and a recipe)
…a review as I hunt for that elusive chickpea-bean salad recipe. I didn’t find that recipe but I found a keeper of a cauliflower steak one!
Bean Salad and The Life List
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. Alex, a young woman who might suffer from fear of flying, is…
Cookbook Review: Truly Simple by Kristin Cavallari
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. I…
13 Going on 30 and Pina Colada Cupcakes
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…
The Secret Sandwich (and Dipping) Sauce for Super Bowl Sandwiches
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. Here…
