July #goals and RWA conference

I won't go into the fact that it's suddenly July. Nope, won't touch that distressing bit of calendar news!

Lots going on this month: a wedding (not mine lol) and the Romance Writers national conference on Atlanta. I've never been to Atlanta and would love to explore but I'm literally flying in Thursday night after work and leaving Sunday morning at the crack of dawn. Alas, no exploring for me. One day, Atlanta!

I'm also working on my contemporary ménage series, Havenbrook Ménage Series and in...

Friday Recipe: Peanut Butter and Jelly

Yes, yes, I know, a little tongue in cheek. But, since I often post a recipe that's a little more involved, I thought I'd go back to basics today.

Hands down, PBandJ was my favorite lunch when I was in school. I know many people have a peanut allergy but I didn't like lunch meat then and still don't like mayo or mustard, a typical addition to lunch meat sandwiches. So for the majority of my schooling (including college) I ate peanut butter and jelly.

The jellies varied: grape, strawberry, rasp...

Wednesday Regency: Crushed Strawberries Facial Scrub

So I made some and it felt refreshing on my face and very fragrant. I loved it! From eHow.com, though I did find others that were much simpler, likecutting a strawberry in half, rubbing it over your f...

Friday Recipe:Tex-Mex Gazpacho

I admit--I have trouble pronouncing the name of the soup. I want to add extra letters in there even when I'm looking right at the word. All that aside, the soup itself is hot, spicy, and utterly worth it. I found the recipe while looking for easy summer recipes, a search I use often. Need to keep the palate pleased and the cooking boredom at bay.

Tex-Mex Gazpacho from Real Simple Magazine's website. The photo is theirs as well. Mine didn't come out quite like theirs.
