Pizza Casserole for Remarkably Bright Creatures and the Weekly Menu

 

Back in 2023, I read the novel Remarkably Bright Creatures.  I enjoyed the novel so much that I suggested it for our Lit Happens Book Club and was inspired to make a Chicken with Mushrooms recipe that I shared along with my Book Review.  

Grilled Potato Wedges #Movies&Munchies

Our Movies and Munchies film this month, chosen by Debra of Eliot's Eats is the 2011 Rom/Com, I Don't Know How She Does It.

Irish Minestrone Soup #MoviesandMunchies

Unlike Italian Minestrone, Irish Minestrone contains no beans and includes bacon.  It is perfect as a starter, a delicious lunch, or a hearty dinner when served with some soda bread and a salad.

I was inspired to make this soup after watching Leap Year, our Movies and Munchies selection for March. I am sharing it today in celebration of St. Patrick's Day.

Seared Scallops with Tomatoes and Basil #MoviesandMunchies

I am hosting our Movies & Munchies group this month and chose the Netflix film Terri McMillan Presents: Tempted by Love.

Shrimp Quenelles and the Weekly Menu #Movies&Munchies

Our Movies and Munchies group decided to revisit the film, Julie and Julia.  Count me in.  It's a good movie, it has a ton of food inspiration, and it encourages me to pull out my copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child.

Turkey Stroganoff, A Movie Review, and the Weekly Menu #Movies&Munchies

I watched the Netflix film, Toscana, and enjoyed it, so I invited my Movies and Munchies crew to watch it and get inspired into the kitchen this month.

Red Wine Risotto and the Weekly Menu #MoviesandMunchies

Have you watched the Netflix film, Toscana, yet?  We watched it and I enjoyed it so much I decided to choose it for our Movies and Munchies pick this month.

It is a wonderful, touching film filled with tons of food inspiration....

Pesto alla Trapanese #MoviesandMunchies

This pesto, originating in Sicily, certainly does not get the attention it deserves.  The Sicilian version of pesto has a fresh tomato base, is full of herbs, and uses almonds instead of pine nuts. It is delicious!!!

I was inspired to make this Pesto after watching Nonna's for our Movies and Munchies group this month......

The Taste of Summer Vegetable Pot au Feu, A Movie Review, and the Weekly Menu #MoviesandMunchies

The Movies and Munchies film for May, chosen by Debra of Eliot's Eats, is The Taste of Things, a French Foodie film released in December 2023.

The Life List Round-Up #MoviesandMunchies

I chose the Netflix movie The Life List as our Movies and Munchies film this month.  It is a very touching movie that had me laughing one moment and crying the next.

Orange Blossom Cocktail #Movies and Munchies

This cocktail made with freshly squeezed orange juice,  flavorful gin, and a touch of sweet grenadine syrup is the perfect way to welcome in the Spring.

I was inspired to make this cocktail after watching Wild Mountain Thyme, our Movies and Munchies film for this month.....

Razzles for Breakfast #MoviesandMunchies

This month's pick for our Movies and Munchies group was 13 Going On 30, chosen by Camilla of Culinary Cam.

Celebrating the 2nd Day of Christmas with a Warm Cocktail and the Weekly Menu leading up to the New Year #MoviesandMunchies

This warm, spiced cocktail is a classic Holiday drink that dates back to the Colonial days.  There are many different versions of this cocktail but all contain rum, butter, and spices.  

The type of rum can vary but I prefer using spiced rum.  Some recipes use hot water, as mine does, others use hot cider.

Elf-The Roundup #Movies&Munchies

I asked the other Movies & Munchies group members to join me this month to watch the Christmas Classic, Elf.  I love this movie and we watch it each year.  This year, I was excited to attend Elf, The Musical at the gorgeous Fox Theatre in Detroit

 

Maple Marinara Sauce #Movies&Munchies

Homemade Marinara sweetened with just a touch of Pure Maple Syrup slow cooked in the crockpot.  I added Meatballs and served it over Spaghetti inspired by the movie Elf.

Enchanted Poison Apple Cocktail for Movies & Munchies and the Weekly Menu

An Enchanted mixture of Spiced Rum and Apple Juice with a touch of grenadine for color.  Rimmed with edible gold glitter and garnished with thin slices of apple.  This fun cocktail is perfect for your adult Halloween gathering.

Cheers!!  It is Friday night and time for Cocktails.  I call the drink I am sharing with you tonight an Enchanted Poison Apple as it was inspired by the Disney movie "Enchanted" our Movies & Munchies film for this Halloween month.
