Foodie Blog Post: Look at my Swag from KRUSTEAZ
Tinsel & Tine Celebrates Breakfast Month with Krusteaz Blogger Program Win a Krusteaz #BreakfastNight Prize Pack! By Editor, Le Anne Lindsay When someone says would you like to be sent pancakes, blueberry muffins, cinnamon crumb cake mixes, gift card for side dishes and a selfie stick, you just say YES Please! The big, new, non-stick pan from T-Fal Cookware was a total surprise! I also signed on to participate, as I’ve always been an proponent of breakfast for dinner for as long as I can remember, I feel like mentally, I was part of McDonald’s being swayed to serve breakfast all day. So I love this #BreakfastNight promo which basically…

Food in Film: CHEF
It’s fantastic for my brand when I get to cover a Foodie Film. For years I’ve been saying I’m going to go back and re-watch movies like Big Night, Chocolate, Soul Food and others and write about them so they exist on Tinsel & Tine, still, some how, I’ve yet to get around to it. Not the case with Jon Favreau’s (writer, director, lead) succulent new film Chef this one’s on my front burner. I’ve gotten a chance to see it twice already! What’s great is, the second screening proved to me I really do love the film on its own merit, and not because it’s a foodie movie, or because I took…

Sometimes I Actually Eat at Home: FALL HASH
If you follow Tinsel & Tine regularly, you know I’m a foodie who can, but rarely cooks. I like to be cooked for! I have done a couple of Trader Joe’s posts, which I need to get back to – Trader Joe’s: Chicken Quesadillas & Lobster Ravioli Trader Joe’s Balela Traders Joes: Veggie Dishes But I’m not one to normally put up recipes, However, this morning I threw together a Fall Hash that I thought was delish! So I thought I’d share: I had some left over baked sweet potatoes, an apple almost going to rot, some celery on its last legs, half an onion and 2 chicken thighs…

Commentary – TOAST
This same excitement and enthusiasm for all things culinary would follow Nigel Slater into adulthood and into British celebrity. The film Toast is the early biography of Slater's life growing up in Wolverhampton, England with a very sweet, but sickly mother, who relied heavily on serving toast for meals when her meager attempts at preparing dinner would turn out unappetizing and often inedible...

Coming soon – Toast
I don’t normally plug a movie before screening it unless I’m interviewing the filmmaker; however, I was just reading the Landmark Theater newsletter and a new food in film flick is coming out that looks scrumptious! Toast is the ultimate nostalgia trip through everything edible in 1960’s Britain. Based on the hilarious and touching memoir of food writer Nigel Slater’s childhood, and set to the songs of Dusty Springfield, it’s a delicious love letter to the tastes and smells that turned a young boy into a lifelong foodie. Nigel’s mother (Victoria Hamilton) appears to have been the world’s worst cook, boiling unopened cans of food to a soggy pulp and…
