I love stopping in the midst of all of the holiday madness to watch a movie. Although it doesn't necessary have to be one that fits the season, often it is. I decided that I would throw another holiday movie into the mix this year...one I hadn't seen before- Christmas in Connecticut. A fun, old-timey flick with foodie tendencies.
Although I only had two other people join me this month...I'm happy to bring you the Food 'n Flix: Christmas in Connecticut Roundup!

1. Deb from Kahakai Kitchen made a jazzed-up version of pancakes (she's a scooper, not a flipper...you'll understand if you watch this flick) that I would love to wake up to any morning...Chocolate Chip Oat Pancakes w/ Raspberry Sauce. YUM!
2. Tina from Life in the Slow Lane at Squirrel Head Manor was inspired by the late night snack of chicken drumsticks and cold chablis. One of my personal favorite food scenes in the film.
3. And I (Heather) from girlichef will round out this meal with a dessert that I thought fit right into the time-period (1940's) that this film was made. I thought Elizabeth would love to pass this Double-Vanilla Walnut Meringue w/ Vanilla-Sugared Cranberries off as her own creation at the end of her Christmas meal.
This was a fun holiday flick which has earned a permanent place in my December's of years to come! Thanks so much for joining me, ladies.

Every one is so busy over the holidays, but everything looks delcicious too. Glad to hear you had a wonderful time with family Heather!!
ReplyDeleteAll of those choices look amazing Heather. I've never seen that movie, so we'll add it to our must watch list! I'd love to get in on the movie action for next September if it's still open. If it hasn't already been done, I'll pick "It's Complicated". That movie makes me want to cook!
ReplyDeleteWe're doing a little round up of healthy appy on
December the 30th. Please come by Heather, we'd love to highlight one or many of
your healthy appy recipes. Simply leave the link in the comment section of any
of the recent posts or upcoming posts leading up to it. Have a great
week.
That would be fantastic, France...that movie makes me hungry, too. I'm scheduling you in for September :)
ReplyDeleteNow I need to pull out the movie and watch it. And then make pancakes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting F'nF and picking one of my holiday favorites to watch! I am looking forward to my February hosting gig.
