I’m normally not a fan of Butternut Squash Soup.
But, I gotta admit – this Apple Butternut Squash Soup recipe is pretty darn good.
Why is Apple Butternut Squash Soup the book-inspired recipe for Once Persuaded, Twice Shy? In Once Persuaded, Twice Shy, the first time main character Anne sets eyes on her long-lost love interest, Ben, is at dinner party at his family's winery. The first course served is a creamy butternut squash soup, and...
Move over, Julia Child. There's a new coq au vin recipe in the house.
And it's way easier to make than you think.
Why is coq au vin the book-inspired recipe for Greenwich Park? There’s a lot of drinking in Greenwich Park, especially when it comes to main character Rachel. This pregnant woman is often found with a bottle in her hand, much to the alarm of those around her. Because, well, PREGNANT.
(The fact that Rachel's totally okay...
I can't tell you why Mushroom Risotto is the book-inspired recipe for Ghoster.
That's because the inspiration for this dish comes at the very end of the story.
What I can tell you is that this Mushroom Risotto is my new make-at-home culinary obsession. (Much to my mushroom-hating husband's dismay.) Mushroom Risotto is one of my favorite meals, but I rarely get the opportunity to eat it.
A lot of restaurants offer it on menus, but I'll be...
Hello, please meet my new best friend: Creamy Tomato Pasta. Because carbs are our friends, right? (If you disagree, please unsubscribe from this blog. #Kiddingnotkidding... ) We all know that I love carbs. If I could eat pasta every day for the rest of my life without gaining 5,742 pounds, I would totally do it. And Creamy Tomato Pasta would make a weekly appearance on my dinner table. Okay, maybe twice a week since this recipe could feed an...
Parmesan Broccoli Soup is the perfect dish to usher you out of the depths of winter and lead you into spring. In The Plot, there’s a green soup that wife Anna makes for main character Jacob when he’s feeling down and out. After this family-favorite meal came up few times in the novel, I was like, Okay, a “green soup” NEEDS to be the book-inspired recipe for this story. Thankfully, I've been making Parmesan Broccoli Soup for years. And,...
Ooey, gooey, cheesy goodness is coming your way in the form of One Pot Cheeseburger Pasta.

There’s nothing like Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings to warm you up on a cold winter night! Okay, that gratuitously cozy-sounding first sentence was to coax you into reading the rest of this post after you glanced at the featured image. I’ll be the first to admit that these Chicken and Dumplings pics aren’t the prettiest examples of food photography to ever grace my blog. BUT! I guarantee you that this dish is one of the most delicious,...
Yes, I’m aware it's the wrong time of year for anything pumpkin-flavored, but bear with me as I introduce you to this Pumpkin Pie Baked Oatmeal. I posted a photo of this breakfast on my IG a few weeks ago, and it was surprisingly well-received. So, it got me thinkin'... Many of my book-inspired recipe plans have been derailed because of what I can(‘t) get from the grocery store these days. But, as luck would have it,...

Cauliflower and White Cheddar Soup is your go-to staple for classic comfort food in a bowl. Even though it's a mystery, Aunt Dimity and The King’s Ransom really hits the spot when it comes to foodie fiction. The inn's shifty chef, Steve, is a culinary genius, and his meals at The King's Ransom are paid a lot of attention throughout the book, much to this food blogger's delight. Two dishes in particular are repeatedly mentioned: Steve's apple...
