Runs on Coffee and Cream

I love fandom recipes. I love recipes inspired by anything geek-related. Well this month I was able to explore that interest more and find so much inspiration thanks to IGGPPC. September was a food-themed month and I had the opportunity to interview two amazingly talented ladies. Their geeky creations have left me wanting to run to the kitchen to make all the food!

The first food blogger I interviewed was The Gluttonous Geek. I'm amazed by how she comes up with recipes from tv shows and movies. Her interpretations are perfect.

Through her blog I was also introduced to #PokeNOM. Earlier this year I had made Pokemon Starters Cupcakes for the 20th anniversary of Pokemon and I was up to the challenge of coming up with another Pokemon recipe. So I spent a busy couple of weeks trying to think of another Pokemon recipe I could make easily since September has flown by for me. Then I woke up one morning with the thought of doing another Starters-themed recipe: Candy Bark! You can see the post I wrote for IGGPPC here. The directions and ingredients are listed in the post.

The second blogger I had the pleasure of interviewing was Pixelated Provisions. So not only are all her recipes inspired from video games, but her photographs have me wanting to up my game too!

You can find both the interviews on IGGPPC here and here.

Now that I'm  hungry from looking at so many food photos, I should be off to try out my next recipe!

Season 2 of iZombie starts tomorrow night (Oct. 6th) and I'm SO excited for it! I loved the first season and I'm very interested in seeing how the story continues and the characters evolve.

For tomorrow's big premiere I decided to make some cupcakes for us to snack on while watching the show - brain cupcakes! I cannot claim that I came up with the idea myself. I saw this on Pinterest and thought it was a great idea for iZombie and that it'd be somewhat easy to do. 

I made a batch of chocolate cupcakes and then whipped up some light pink buttercream. Ignore the sprinkles in the picture, I made some non-brain cupcakes too.

I think they turned out alright. Making the wavy brain was actually a touch more difficult than I expected. I kept squishing it. I cannot wait to eat these while watching the iZombie premiere.    
Have you seen the promo for season 2 yet? It looks like Liv is a touch more put-together and comfortable in her zombie skin. 

Will you be tuning in? xo Jen

Tomorrow marks the season finale of iZombie. Thankfully the show has been signed on for a second season which makes me quite happy. I've really gotten into the show and I love the writing. Each episode leaves me liking Liv more and more. Ravi has quickly become one of my favourite characters on the show and a recent story line with Peyton has me more interested in her character too.


We recently watched last week's episode and it was so good! It left me wanting to see the season finale bad because there's so many unanswered questions.

I made a season finale-watching menu for IGGPPC which you can check out here.
Personally, I've always been curious to try Mexican Hot Chocolate, maybe without liquefied brains mixed in though.


And I have to admit that even though I'm not a huge fan of spicy foods, the Hellfire Cheezy Puffs Liv eats in a lot of the episodes make me crave Flamin' Hot Cheetos. Weird.

Will you be tuning into the season finale?
