Little Loaves

January 26, 2023January 26, 2023 by Cat

I spent a lot of time perfecting my bread recipe. It reminded me of all those books, TV shows and movies I consumed as a girl that were full of women from days past baking, eating and living their lives. One is “Little Women,” hence my reasoning for this pairing.

Turn My Tummy

The lyric “They don’t turn my tummy the way you do” is part of the chorus to “Nobody Like U” by 4*TOWN, the boy band in the animated film “Turning Red.” These spicy broccoli tofu dumplings turn my tummy in the best way possible.

One scene involving my favorite character in filmmaker Nancy Meyers’ 2007 rom com “The Holiday” features a Hanukkah dinner, so I decided to make latkes for this pairing.

In addition to attending midnight Mass, I grew up with two other Christmas traditions: watching “Christmas Vacation” and a Christmas Eve appetizer spread that almost always included BBQ slow cooker meatballs.

One staple of the American holiday season is the almighty roll. And when I thought about rolls in movies, the first one that came to mind was “The Gold Rush.”

Cook It Like the Bhamras

October 20, 2022October 19, 2022 by Cat

“Bend It Like Beckham” came out in my teenage years, and it’s one of those movies that I watched over and over again. There’s a memorable line in the movie: “Anyone can cook aloo gobi, but who can bend a ball like Beckham?”

10 Ingredients I Love About Hotdish

September 1, 2022August 31, 2022 by Cat

As someone who has lived in the Midwest for most of her life and is now a Minnesota resident, it was only a matter of time before I had hotdish on the blog. I also knew it was only a matter of when not if with my movie choice for this pairing, “10 Things I Hate About You.”

Yes, Spider-Manwich is the official name of this sandwich, but the full name is “Spider-Manwich, or Peter Parker Picked a Pack of Pickled Peppers.”

2 Ingredients 2 Yummy

The “Fast & Furious” franchise is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. To go along with the franchise name, you can make this soy chorizo queso dip very quickly (five minutes or less) and the chorizo gives it a little kick, or a “furious” taste.

I love a good coming-of-age movie, and “Reality Bites” hits all the right notes of mid-1990s nostalgia. I chose the 4 different toppings for these mini polenta pizzas to represent the movie’s four main characters.
