That's right we're bringing back the podcast! We're so excited to be doing this again and chatting about our favorite movie adaptations of some of our favorite books!

Since it's Women's History Month we decided to start with a work of literature by one of the most famous women in literary history, Jane Austen! We chose to do a comparison of Jane's Emma and Amy Heckerling's "Clueless."

That's right, if you didn't know "Clueless" is actually a modern day retelling of Ms Austen's Emma. And we love it. So listen in as Lindsey and I discuss how "Clueless" aligns with Emma and why we think books are made into movies in the first place. 

​If you'd rather read our discussion I'll post the transcription below!

    Here is something a little different to use fresh blackberries in!  This is a soft bar with a nice and crunchy brown sugar crust.  The top part with the blackberries is more like a custard than it is like a cake or bread.  It is made with sour cream and cinnamon and with the blackberries folded in, they give you a juicy burst of fresh flavor!   It is hard to describe, but pretty delicious.  

     The recipe is made in a square, 9x9 inch pan, so it isn't overwhelming, and my family gobbled it up pretty quickly! I hope you love it!  I think that you will.

St. Paddy's day Hot cocoa bombs

ST. Paddy's Day Hot Cocoa Bomb
     My girl's and I came up with the idea for Hot Cocoa Bombs in 2014.  I really wish I had thought of them years ago because they are a great way to celebrate special days and holidays.  When my kids were little, in order to celebrate St. Patrick's Day, I would put a drop of food coloring in their milk to turn it green.  They loved that, but a green Hot Cocoa Bomb would have been so much better!  
     If you still have young kids at home, I'm here to help you be a more fun mom than I was.  How about Pistachio or Peppermint Hot Cocoa Bombs for St. Patrick's Day?  Of course, we have already been making Peppermint Cocoa Bombs since Day 1.  I mean, I think we came up with the original bomb and then immediately thought to make Peppermint ones as well.  
     But, Pistachio?  That is awesome, right?  (Do you say "pist-ahh-chio"  or "pist-a-chio, with a short "a" sound?")   To get the flavor, I made the Pistachio Bomb shells with white chocolate.  I used pistachio instant pudding to flavor them.  I sifted out the bits of pistachio nuts that are in the pudding because I thought no one would like those in their mug.  Was I wrong?  Use quite a bit in your shell because the white chocolate flavor can over power the subtle flavor of the pistachio.  I used the colorful, fruity flavored Kraft Marshmallows and picked out the green ones to use in these bombs.  Then, of course, I used cute St. Patrick's Day sprinkles to decorate them.  I used a few gold balls to represent the gold at the end of the rainbow.

I made the Peppermint Bombs in semi-sweet chocolate and used multi green colored jimmies.
