#BookClubCookbookCC: Allons-y a la France!

So.
It's time for a new month of the #BookClubCookbookCC!  Thanks to our leader, Camilla from Culinary Adventures with Camilla, I'm so excited to be hosting again.  I'm even more excited that we're giving away not one but two copies of the cookbook!  But let's start at the beginning.
This month, I invite you to join us and read Joanne Harris' Chocolat.



I've seen the film...but I haven't finished the book yet.  After report cards and our move (which is complete...not that I can find anything).  The movie is wonderful.  I don't see how the book won't be too.
Read it, and make Hot Cocoa, totally not the drink for this time of year, except maybe breakfast.  But this would be delicious.  Homemade hot cocoa is always the best.  Read, make a recipe, and enter the giveaway.  It really is that simple.  Everything you need to know is after the jump.
I present to you now from the Book Club Cookbook by Judy Gelman and Vicki Levy Krupp, Hot Cocoa:

#SecretRecipeClub: Lemon Blueberry Muffins

So.
It's time for the Secret Recipe Club!  I once again turned to carbs for a quick snack that used up things in my fridge and freezer.
Today's post is also celebrating our move to the new house.  While I was excited (and still am), it's finally sinking in that I'm losing my kitchen that we renovated a couple of years ago.  No more super deep sink and crazy amount of cabinet space.  But no matter.  We already are hatching plans to renovate.  So let's celebrate the last SRC in my old kitchen, shall we?
This month, I was sent to explore Lori's blog over at Lori's Culinary Creations.  Lori lives in Utah with a menagerie of pets.  She had tons of delicious things to choose from, like Hamburger Pasta Casserole and a Buffalo Chicken Quinoa Skillet but I was drawn to a breakfast food that used up things in my freezer.  Yes, once again I chose to make carbs.  But what a way to go!
