We also talk about our love for Brooke Shields and how we would like to see her in more of these movies. We also talk about fostering dogs (and foster failing).We also talked about the best cozy gift you can give (it’s a wearable blanket).

When it’s boiling add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain, but reserve the pasta water.Meanwhile, as the pasta cooks, heat up a large skillet to about medium high and crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk, adding a little water. Add a small teaspoon full of pesto. Add a tiny bit of salt and some pepper to the eggs. Give it a final stir/whisk to combine.When the pasta is done and draining, and the skillet is hot, spray it with cooking spray and pour the eggs into it. Be sure not to let the eggs brown, moving them around quickly. They’ll cook fast, as soon as they’re almost set, throw in the pasta and the rest of the pesto. I didn’t measure the pesto so I’m guessing it was about ¼ cup but honestly could have been more. Measure with your heart.Make a little well in the center of the pan and toss in the cream cheese and a little pasta water (like ¼ cup). Stir to melt the cream cheese but make sure you’re moving the eggs too so they don’t brown. Alternatively, you could mix the cream cheese and pesto together before putting it in the pan.  Taste and season with salt and pepper adding more pesto, or pasta water if needed. This episode was recorded on January 18, 2023 and released on January 22, 2023.Socials:Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/cozylandpod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cozylandpod/    Twitter: https://twitter.com/Cozylandpod     Say hello at: cozylandpod@gmail.com Credits:Hosted by: Melissa Oliveri and Amy Lotsberg Produced by Melissa at Phaeton Starling Publishing and Amy Lotsberg at Collected Sounds Media, LLC.Theme song “Electric Cozyland” and segment music by Cannelle https://melissaoliveri.com/   Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

  • Cozyland, Ep 2 - Here Comes the Bad Accent

    Cozyland, Ep 2 - Here Comes the Bad Accent
    Jan 8 2023

    This is episode 2: Here Comes the Bad Accent


    Escape to Cozyland! Your hosts Amy and Melissa have a lot in common, music, podcasting, a love of mysteries... and the not-so-guilty pleasure of cozy films and tv shows.

    Each week we'll chat about new and upcoming tv shows and movies coming to what we like to call Cozyland!

    So, grab those fuzzy socks, some snacks, and the tv remote, and join us in escaping the real world for a spell.

    In this episode we talked about the first episode in the Hallmark movie series, The Wedding Veil. We also talked about bad accents, Hallmark hunks, and a little more about Christmas Hallmark movies and also their cozy mystery movies, which we’ll be covering more in future episodes.

    This episode was recorded on December 28, 2022 and released on January 8, 2023.


    Cozyland Pina Colada French Toast

    For the pineapple:

    1-1 ½ cups of pineapple chunks (fresh is best but canned works too)

    1 tbsp butter

    Melt the butter in a skillet then add the pineapple, cook until pineapple softens and turns golden.

    For the Coconut Syrup:

    1/2 c. butter

    ¾ c. milk

    1 c. sugar

    ½ tsp. baking soda

    1 tsp. coconut extract

    Put butter, milk, and sugar in a medium - large saucepan. Stir over medium heat until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil for one minute then remove from heat.

    While stirring constantly, add baking soda and coconut extract until mixture is homogeneous. The mixture may bubble up. 

    Set aside while cooking French Toast.

    For the french toast:

    2 eggs

    2/3 c. milk

    pinch salt

    ½ tsp. Vanilla

    4 thick slices of French bread

    1 tbsp butter (for cooking)

    Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and vanilla together until well blended then pour into a shallow bowl.

    Place bread slices in the bowl and let sit until the egg/milk mixture has been soaked up (you can flip the bread part way through to ensure both sides soak up the mixture)

    Melt butter in a hot skillet, and add bread slices. Let cook until the underside is golden brown, then flip and cook until the other side is done (depending on the size of your skillet you may need to cook the bread slices in batches).

    Place french toast on a plate, add cooked pineapple chunks on top and drizzle with coconut syrup.

    Enjoy!
