In Home for Good the hero and heroine enjoy a cup of homemade hot chocolate together. This is the recipe heroine, Ali Silver used:
Homemade Hot Cocoa
Stir in the milk and heat until very hot (but don’t bring to a boil or the milk will spoil). Remove from heat and add vanilla and cream. Ladle into mugs and top with whipped cream and/or chocolate shavings.

When we meet Ali Silver for the first time in Home for Good (right before she runs right into Jericho Freed!) she's dropping off this potato salad at the town's Fourth of July picnic.
Red Skinned Potato Salad
-1 pound bacon
-3 pounds red potatoes
-6 eggs
-Green onion
-2 stalks of celery
-2 cups mayo
-Salt and pepper
1) Scrub potatoes until clean (don’t you hate that part?? Wish I could get someone to give me clean potatoes).
2) Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the potatoes and cook 12-15 minutes. Drain and allow potatoes to cool. Chop cooled potatoes (leave skin on…hence the name of the recipe).
3) Cover eggs with cool water and bring water to a boil. Remove the pot from heat, cover with lid, and let eggs stand in water for 15 minutes. Remove from water, peel, and chop the eggs.
4) Cook bacon – drain, cool, and crumble.
5) Chop celery.
6) Put potatoes, eggs, bacon, mayo, celery, and chopped green onions in a large bowl. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. Sprinkle more green onions over the top. Place the salad in the fridge for at least 3 hours before serving.
