It’s no secret that our family is a little obsessed with the Hunger Games trilogy. The movie version opens this week, and I would guess that probably a full fifty percent of my waking hours are devoted to thinking about the Hunger Games. Krista wrangled up a collection of Hunger Games-inspired food for your District 12 parties this week.

Fictional Food has a ton of Hunger Games recipes. The blogger goes by the name Greasy Sae, after all. What a cool idea – a blog entirely of food inspired by books, television, movies, and such.

So what kind of snacks would you pack for a freezing cold midnight showing of the Hunger Games? May the odds be ever in your favor, and may the moviemakers not destroy all of our hopes and expectations with this movie!
Cool – thanks for sharing!
How cool! I didn’t know there was a hunger games cookbook! I read all three books and loved them! I feel out of the loop–need to try some of these recipes!! Thanks :)
I have only just woken up to the Hunger Games phenomenon- the coal cookies are so much fun!!
I’m totally making those coal cookies for the movie premiere. YUM.
