10 Spooky Movies to Watch this Halloween

October 13, 2021, 5 Comments

While I love a good spooky movie any time of year, October is still really the best time to curl up with a cozy blanket, some popcorn, and watch a movie that will send some chills down your spine. The horror genre is really quite vast, and goes beyond the the classics and bloody slasher…

Cooking with Vincent: Quiche Lorraine

Lately I’ve been in a breakfast mood. Breakfast for breakfast, breakfast for lunch, and breakfast for dinner, so I decided to peek into Vincent Price’s cookbooks for not just a breakfast item, but an egg based dish, as Price starred in Batman as the villainous Egghead. Patrick and I decided upon quiche lorraine, something I…

Christmastime means it’s time for Christmas movies, and one of my favorites is Tim Burton’s Edward Scissorhands. A bizarre but heartwarming tale of where snow comes from, it also happens to star Vincent Price in one of his final roles, in which he plays an inventor. One of his inventions is a massive cookie making…

Cooking with Vincent: Pumpkin Pie

Last weekend I realized I hadn’t had a slice of pumpkin pie all autumn! Now, that isn’t to say I can’t eat pumpkin pie in winter (after all, quite a few Christmas songs mention pumpkin pie) but pumpkin is the flavor of fall! So over the weekend Patrick and I whipped up a pumpkin pie…

It’s the first Cooking with Vincent after our (partial) kitchen redo (which you can read more about here) and under the watchful eye of some smiling Jack o’Lanterns and flying witches, as I also decorated the kitchen a wee bit for Halloween. With it being fall, I can’t help but want to make food that…

Welcome to yet another installment of Cooking with Vincent. If you’re new to the blog, check out my first post from the series detailing what Cooking with Vincent is about. Vincent Price’s cookbooks really cover a lot of ground, well, I mean, just look at the size of A Treasury of Great Recipes! From main…

First, a few words on what has been going on lately. Originally I planned for this post to be published two weeks ago, then I pushed it back, and I pushed it back again. I wanted take time to focus on learning and have conversations. In discussions with Patrick and friends, we came to a…

Cooking with Vincent: Brown and White Cookies

March 19, 2020, 4 Comments

I’ve never been much of a chef…I didn’t grow up in a home that cooked very often, and so the kitchen and I have never been real good friends. I’ve been trying to change that recently, as well as work to reduce plastic waste in our home. I figured a really good way to keep…
