Pumpkin-Oatmeal Dog Treats
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 roast from…
Green Juice Smoothie for Land of Milk and Honey

After reading, we cook something inspired by the book and post. You can find out more details about our group and how to participate here. Claudia (Honey…
Pot luck recipes plus one new offering
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.
Infused Cocktail Kits
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 instructions.…
Elf revisited
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).
Habanero PLUS Oil
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 my cabinet.…
Enchanted for October Movies & Munchies
Here’s a delicious cocktail inspired by Enchanted that isn’t really poisonous, just very sippable!
Herb and Garlic Confit
I’ve been revisiting some recipes from the archives. I usually make a batch of garlic confit every summer after our garlic harvest. It’s really a great recipe to utilize the garlic that might not have been plucked in time and might have the cloves already separating from the neck. This is a great condiment to…
The Secret Life of Bees. One recipe, two events.
I’m hosting two events that wrap up this month: For Cook the Books, I’m hosting Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd for the August/September round. For Movies & Munchies, I’m hosting the 2008 movie with Dakota Fanning, Queen Latifah, and Alicia Keyes, et al. The deadline for both events is September 30 so…
Find Me Falling and Pastitsio
Movies & Munchies has us falling this month, falling into a Harry Connick, Jr. Netflix film.
