By 49 Comments

<— MARITAL STRIFE ANGST ALERT!!! Reclaiming Izabel (Special Forces: Operation Alpha) went live just a few days ago, and to celebrate, author Victoria Paige is sponsoring this week’s newsletter AND she’s having a giveaway right here on the blog.

She describes it as:

“…a marriage-in-trouble, back-from-the-dead military suspense store and early reviews say it’s an angsty-emotional one… ;)”

And she gave me the ultimate, and I MEAN ULTIMATE, excerpt that got me right in the “feels”. Short and sweet and oh SO emotional, and on this alone, I wanna read it. 😀 The author says: read more

Monday Earlybird Book Releases + some that are going live at midnight! 11-19-18

By 35 Comments

Happy Monday!!! It’s time again to start the new week and Thanksgiving is almost here and then crazy fun (or just plain crazy) Black Friday!! 😀 YAY US!! And here are the early bird book releases of the day (I’ll add more as they go live). 😀
Three things!
1.) I made pan fried Pork Tenderloins with preserved lemons – super salty and delicious (oh and green bell peppers, onions & mushrooms even though the real recipe only calls for onions – I like more veggies!!) this weekend, in a butter-sage-vermouth sauce. SO. FREAKING. DELICIOUS. It’s a french dish called “Filet Mignon de Porc aux Citrons Confits”. P.S. Here’s a quick video I made of it simmering in the sauce (AND the recipe if you want to go for it).

Back when my sister was first teaching me how to make “Preserved Lemons”

2.) I make my own preserved lemons (my sister taught me) and it’s so easy. Just cut a washed lemon in quarters (peel and all), shove it down into mason jar, squeezing the juices out into the jar as you go, pour kosher salt all over it, then another layer with another lemon and so on. Left in the fridge the lemons soak up all their own juices and salt and become so tender and the peel gets an almost translucence to it, and now you can use them whole in recipes and as garnish. SO yummy! And if you’re not in the mood to make them and wait for them to “do their thing” (takes a few weeks to months), you can get a jar on Amazon!
3.) I made more cute candles on Saturday! It’s such a calming and peaceful hobby. This time I made blueberry muffin scented ones!!
LOOK WHAT JUST WENT LIVE :D !!! read more
