We were supposed to leave this morning for a trip to Cabo San Lucas. Mother Nature had other plans. Three large Category 5 storms are in the Pacific, heading towards land, right where we were supposed to vacation.
Our Movies and Munchies selection for this month is Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, hosted by Camilla of Culinary Cam. The movie has a sequel, and we can choose which one to watch. Or we could watch both. I had never watched either of them, nor had I read the book they were based on, so I chose the original movie.
We are still enjoying warm weather here in Michigan, and we are heading to Cabo in a few days, so I am dreaming of cocktails poolside. This Banana Daiquiri is the perfect Indian Summer cocktail.
This hearty, filling chowder, made with leftover rotisserie chicken and leftover corn on the cob, is a perfect way to welcome the fall weather as it finally makes its way into Michigan.
These delicious, tender muffins are perfect for breakfast at home, as a grab-and-go meal on your way out the door, or as a snack in your lunchbox. Studded with fresh apples and covered in a cinnamon crumble, you might want to grab two.
Strawberry Shortcake and Cheesecake collide in this delicious and easy dessert.
I love fresh figs. Maybe they are special to me because they are only available for a few weeks each year, and I live in Michigan, where we don't grow figs. True, I enjoy fig jam, fig newtons, and dried figs year-round, but I'm always excited when I find fresh ones at the market and eagerly pay a small fortune to bring home a case.
