    Feb 19 2023
    This is episode 04: What’s His Name…? And Other MysteriesEscape 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 - you know the ones, with the predictable plots and familiar character traits. 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.This week we discussed cozy mysteries. Mostly Hallmark, but also some other stuff including books! We gripe a little about TV channel apps. Amy has a beef with the Garage Sale Mysteries and the willy-nilly exchange of actors and characters. Amy’s dog, Vivian Pickles also makes an appearance. 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
    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!

    Jan 1 2023

    This is episode 1: Peak Christmas!

    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 - you know the ones, with the predictable plots and familiar character traits. 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.


    For our very first episode we talked about several movies and TV shows:

    The Noel Diary on Netflix which we both gave 5 Stars.

    Time for Him to Come Home for Christmas on Hallmark (where woman gets voicemail that’s not for her)

    Long Lost Christmas on Hallmark (where woman finds a photo of her mom and a man and tries to track him down)

    I Believe in Santa on Netflix (zero stars, perhaps even negative stars)

    The Holiday Sitter on Hallmark – lots of stars we both loved it.

    Very Merry Bridesmaid on Hallmark

    Ghosts of Christmas Always on Hallmark – we loved this too.

    Holiday Spectacular on Hallmark (the one Amy calls “the Rockette one”)

    Three Wise Men and a Baby on Hallmark - Another favorite.

    Hanukah on Rye on Hallmark – mmm food…

    The One Hundred Foot Journey – another food movie that Melissa recommended.

    A Fabled Holiday on Hallmark – fairy tale component.

    A Timeless Christmas on Hallmark – time travel one

    Merry Kiss Cam on Hulu - filmed in the midwest, lots of hockey


    We also wondered about why some of the Hallmark men don’t seem like they’d be into their co-star.  We talk about Peak Christmas. Melissa’s dog, Samson, made an appearance too.

    This episode was recorded on December 28, 2022 and released on January 1, 2023.

    All music by Cannelle - http://www.cannellemusic.com


    We've all lived through some trying times in the past couple of years. We’ve had to find new ways of doing things, creative solutions to problems we’d never dreamed of. We’ve had to revisit our relationships with work, family, friends, and even ourselves – and when things became overwhelming, we had to dig deep to find ways to bring a feeling of comfort, joy, and safety into our lives.

    In this podcast, we’ll explore the different ways we find solace and peace of mind. This is your moment to settle in, get cozy, relax, light a candle, grab a blanket... and spend a little time with us as we explore the various paths that people take to add comfort to their lives.

    My guest today is Katy Tessman. With a voice full of the wisdom she’s gained through breast cancer survival, heartbreak, and motherhood, Katy Tessman’s straight-from-the-heart songwriting style moves passionately over a diverse emotional and musical terrain. Katy is also an award-winning children’s book author and named Changemaker by Minnesota Women’s Press.

    Before becoming a mom, Katy performed her original contemporary folk music for nearly a decade both in the Twin Cities area and on national tours that allowed her to grace stages from Seattle to Sioux Saint Marie.

    Katy has fought the battle of her life -- finishing the fight with children who stayed optimistic gave her the courage and confidence to self-publish her book “Our Mama is a Beautiful Garden”, a breast cancer book for children. For this, Katy received the Mom’s Choice Awards Gold Medal and Moonbeam Children's Book Awards Silver Medal.

    Katy is passionate about helping schools transform their libraries to be future-ready media centers. She builds relevant and diverse book collections for new schools across the country and believes every school library should host a MakerSpace - an outlet for students, fueling engagement, creativity, and curiosity at the same time.

    As promised, each episode of Grab a Blanket features a recipe provided by our guest. Katy has chosen to share her recipe for Corn Soufflé


    Katy's Easy Corn Soufflé


    Ingredients

    8 ounces Jiffy Corn Muffin mix

    15 ounces whole kernel corn (drained)

    15 ounces creamed corn (not drained)

    1 cup sour cream

    1/2 cup melted butter

    1 egg

    1 tsp of sugar (optional)


    Instructions

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

    In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients together and pour into a greased 8"x8" baking pan.

    Cook uncovered for 45-50 minutes or until lightly browned.

    My guest today is Annie Enneking. Annie is a lover and a fighter. She writes songs about having a body at a particular place in time. She fronts and founded the potent, mischievous rock band Annie and the Bang Bang, who believe in energy, poetry, and animal intelligence. Andrea Swenson says "Front woman Annie Enneking leads the group with an honest voice dedicated to telling the stories of underdogs and unsung heroes." Cyn Collins says “The band performs vibrant real rock.” Annie also writes more mellow, singer songwriter-based material under her own name, all of which is spare and true and hurts just right. Another passion of hers is the theater, where she crafts violence for the stage, allowing actors to tell violent stories with their bodies in a safe and repeatable way. She also teaches the art of stage combat at the University of Minnesota. Annie is the mother of Flannery and Harper, the wife of firefighter/writer Jeremy Norton, has three dogs, and lives near the Mississippi River. 

    As promised, each episode of Grab a Blanket features a recipe provided by our guest. Annie has chosen to share her recipe for Sour Cream Cinnamon Coffee Cake.

Worchestershire sauce1 Tbl.

Brown sugar1 Tbl. MustardBake one hour uncovered. Check if done, with a knife in center. If still pink, cook 10 – 15 minutes longer.  Grandma Martha’s Quick Refrigerator PicklesThese are a slightly sweet, tangy delicious pickle, great alone or with BBQ meats. Wash and sterilize 6 pint jars, lids and rings. To sterilize, heat a large pot of water to boiling, add the jars and simmer a few minutes. Remove jars with tongs and set on towel. Combine the following in a pot and heat on medium, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Turn off heat. 2 cups sugar2 cups vinegar½ tsp. Turmeric½ tsp. celery seed½ tsp. mustard seed2 Tbl. Salt2 – 3 lbs. cucumbers, sliced ¼ inch thick, to fit ½ gallon jar (approx. 20 – 30 pickling cucumbers). A mandolin slices thinly and uniformly, but can use knife.

Ladle liquid mixture evenly over pickles, using a funnel. The liquid might not fill the jar, but it’s good to cover the pickles. You can double the liquid and spices if you’d like. Wipe rims dry with clean towel. Top with lid, then ring and tighten firmly. Once cooled, refrigerate. Shake the jars vigorously a few seconds each day for 4 – 5 days to distribute the spices. The pickles store well up to 6 months or longer.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
