June the month of weddings and we are paying homage to that at this month’s Movie Monday. We were given the freedom to choose any wedding movie that we wanted. I chose the Princess Diaries 2 as my wedding movie inspiration. There are so many traits of this movie to love although not traditionally thought of as a wedding movie. One theme throughout the Princess Diaries movies is that Genovia is known for their pears. In the second one there is even a scene when Lilly, the princess’s best friend, asks if the popcorn that they are munching on tastes like pears. What better way to celebrate this awesome movie than with a delicious new pear recipe? These whipped frozen cinnamon pear pies are a cool summer treat fit for a queen!
