In a nutshell, our main cast of characters have been working their way towards a government lab in California for the past 2 seasons. Their goal was to deliver Murphy—the only person to be bitten repeatedly by zombies, injected with an experimental cure in a secret government lab (as a prisoner), and still be alive—to the lab.
After helping the group fend off a band of undesirables, they spend the rest of the episode seeking an abandoned Agro lab in Minnesota that is rumored to be working on an herbal cure...but not until after Doc and Murphy accept an invitation from Wrecking Ball to "levitate" with some Z Weed, which is grown in that Minnesota lab, using zombies as compost.
I'll be sharing at least one new recipe from this series every month. To check out all of the past recipes and some upcoming featured titles, check out my "in the kitchen with Zombie Fiction" page!

Seaweed Snack Mix (aka "Z Weed" Munchies Mix)
prep time: 10 MINScook time: 15 MINStotal time: 25 mins
This salty-sweet snack mix with seaweed is the perfect answer to a case of the munchies!
INGREDIENTS:
- 6 cups Crispix cereal
- 2 cups mixed nuts
- 2 cups small pretzels
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey or agave nectar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons wasabi paste
- 1 (.35 ounce/10 g) package of Sesame Roasted Seaweed sheets, broken into pieces
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat oven to 325° F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or foil.
- Combine cereal, nuts, and pretzels in a very large bowl and use yours hands to gently toss and combine.
- Whisk all of the remaining ingredients except the seaweed together until well-combined, then drizzle evenly over the dry ingredients. Toss gently to coat.
- Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Slide into preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes—stir after 6 minutes, then after 12 minutes (not 12 more, just 12 total) scatter the seaweed over the top and stir once more before cooking for the final 3 minutes.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before serving (it will crisp up as it cools). Once cool, this snack mix can be stored in an airtight container at cool room temperature for 3-5 days.
