So a little known fact. I was actually in the move industry for a couple years. I love movies especially independents! I love throwing themed parties, and what better way to throw an Oscar party than to serve foods inspired by the movies up for Best Picture! Most of these come from the location the movie is set, but I got a little more creative with a few others.

Perfect! I always have apples and almond butter on hand to keep me going strong on paleo when I feel like cheating!
