Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 120 of Life On the Brink!
We're back again with another installment of the Movie Night series, this time in a celebration of cooking, food, and the gathering that happens around it. I'm once again joined by my sister Sarah as we discuss our favorite "foodie" movies and how a movie night can be an extension of the onscreen meals. So fun, and perfect for this time of year!
We have quite a bit in common, mostly that we agree on a lot of our favorite movies and that we love a theme, so we always have a ton of fun when we have these chats.
What’s in my teacup? The Trader Joe's Harvest Herbal tea
The Clear Winner: Ratatouille
Let me take the opportunity to mention that I've shared my personal ratatouille recipe here on the blog. This is also my favorite movie ever, so the post has a lot of that as well.
SOME FOODIE MOMENTS WE MENTIONED:
Sarah’s Little Joy: She shared a recipe (apt for today) for a corn salad/salsa?? that was apparently more than the sum of its parts. She had it on tacos and said it's revolutionary. The recipe is below!
Mexican Corn Salad
Servings: 6 to 8
Preparation Time:
15 minutes
Chilling Time:
2 hours
4 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
½ cup chopped green onions
½ cup chopped red bell pepper
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 cup salsa
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Combine the vegetables in a bowl. Place the salsa and vinegar in a blender jar and process until smooth. Pour over the vegetables and mix well. Refrigerate to blend the flavors.
Recipe Hint: To make this even spicier, add several dashes of Tabasco sauce when mixing the dressing into the vegetables.
What I’m Listening To: I’ve made a playlist composed of tunes from the movies we mentioned in this episode, and I’ve kept it pretty light and fun so it’s perfect for cooking!
