I think that I won, hands down, the award for finding a film with the most difficult foodie challenge in the history of Movies & Munchies and perhaps even our now-defunct Food n Flix group.
These muffins are reminiscent of carrot cake or hummingbird cake without the frosting. Carrots, Zucchini, and Dried Mango combined with Whole Wheat Flour and Flax Seed make these muffins perfect for a nutritious breakfast or snack.
There are sprinkles on this cake because I am celebrating!! Whenever I can use the over-ripe bananas in my freezer AND the zucchini on my counter....it is cause for celebration!
I recently put out a call to my neighbors for some green tomatoes so that I could make some Green Tomato Relish. I was gifted over 15 lbs of green tomatoes. I only needed 7 lbs for the relish so I decided to use some of the rest making this Green Tomato Jam.
The World Wine Travel Group is heading back to Uruguay this month. I decided to open a Torrontes from Bodega Pisano.
During harvest season, at least here in Michigan, there are loads of tomatoes ripe and juicy for the picking. Farmers and home gardeners find that they have just as many green tomatoes as red. This is a great recipe for using up some of those green tomatoes.
Join us today as the Sunday Funday Bloggers share recipes using Green Tomatoes......
This delicious loaf is filled with apples and dried cranberries making it a perfect accompaniment with your coffee for breakfast in the morning, dessert after dinner, or a late-night snack.
I just finished reading The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese. What a beautiful story.
The sweet and spicy flavors of this Huli Huli Chicken paired beautifully with this wonderful bottle of Roche Bellemont Rose from Provence.
Did you know that tomorrow is National Navajo Code Talkers Day? I didn't either until my friend, Amy of Amy's Cooking Adventures, named it as the theme for this week's Sunday Funday.
Navajo Code Talkers Day, celebrated every year on August 14, is a day that holds great importance in the history of the U.S. This is because the day recognizes the contributions of Navajo marines during World War II. Yes, Navajo marines encoded and transmitted messages using a complex Navajo language-based code during a time when secret communication was essential to win a war. And guess what? The code was never broken by Japanese forces in the Pacific and proved to be of great assistance to the U.S. Marines. On this day, celebrate the great American heroes and their service to the nation!

I normally enjoy my PBJ sandwiches with a large glass of cold milk. It had never occurred to me to have wine with my comforting, casual lunch. But then Robin of Crushed Grape Chronicles invited the members of the Wine Pairing Weekend group to experiment with unusual white wine pairings.
From the Island of Seychelles comes a delicious dish, normally made with a whole fish, typically Red Snapper. I adapted the recipe using Mahi Mahi Fillets as that was what I had on hand. They were wonderful and I look forward to finding a whole Red Snapper to make this again with the proper presentation.
My neighbor gifted me a huge sack of radishes from their garden. I love radishes but the rest of my family isn't too crazy about them. I decided to toss them in the air fryer and see how they turned out. Oh, my word!! The bite was gone and replaced by a mild sweetness that my family loved.

I'm still working on using up all of the zucchini on my counter. Today I am sharing a gluten-free recipe using coconut flour, coconut flakes, and zucchini sweetened only with a bit of honey and an over-ripe banana. It is a great Day on the Farm when I can use up both zucchini and over-ripe bananas!!
This easy make-ahead casserole is perfect for those days you want to head out for a hike or the beach. When you get home all you need to do is slide it into the oven, pour yourself a glass of wine, and relax while dinner bakes.
Tender, delicious dumplings of fried bread dough sprinkled with parmesan cheese and served with a side of Marinara Sauce pair wonderfully with this Celita Sangiovese from Emilia-Romagna.
I am hosting our Lit Happens group this month and chose the classic novel The Road by Cormac McCarthy. You are invited to join us. Simply read the book and then, if you wish, join in the discussion as I post questions on our Facebook Page.
This is a fabulous casserole when having a Meatless Mexican Monday or a Fiesta where you wish to offer a Vegetarian side dish.
