Caramel Apple Pie: A Delicious Treat for Readers and Bakers

This scrumptious dessert combines the sweet flavors of caramel and apple, creating a mouthwatering combination that is sure to be a hit.

Yes, apple pie is more autumn than Christmas (and the recipe comes from a Fall Baking magazine), but I've never been one to limit a delicious treat to only one season.

The aroma of the baked apples wafting through your kitchen will make it hard to resist taking a bite before it's even cooled.

Whether you're a reader who enjoys curling up with a good book a...

Indulge in a Rich Chocolately-Chocolate Muffin and an Afternoon of Reading

I call it a Muddy Creek Muffin, a name from many years ago when I was going to open a bakery (yes, I almost, as in super close, bought one, but then I went to college and another story was born). My menu consisted of a variety of interesting names, many of which I still use when speaking of those recipes. This is a recipe recently unearthed.

Dark or milk, the choice is yours to make,

In this sugary world, let your taste buds awake.

Oh, chocolate and muffins, a magical pair,

A duet of sweetness,...

Discover the Majestic Wonders of Winter Landscapes and Nature's Peace

Winter, where are you? I've asked this question before, but I've never wanted an answer so much as this year. The weather birdies claim we'll be seeing it soon, but they keep teasing. I know, most people are happy when winter gets delayed, and I LOVE garden season, but come on, it's time for snow to fall, roads to slick over, and the air to get so cold it freezes our noses off.

Anyone else with me? No? Well, you can enjoy it from afar. ❄

Stating I love the snow would be an understatement. I do...

Live and Love Free in TIMES OF TURMOIL by Anna Belfrage

Anna Belfrage is a wonderful storyteller, and I'm pleased to share a glimpse into her book, Times of Turmoil, with you. For those who enjoy historical fiction with romance and danger wrapped up in time travel, then read on for an excerpt.

Note: Anna doesn't shy away from realism in her books, which is one of the great things about her storytelling. For those who might be sensitive to it, the scene shared in this post contains elements of beating, though nothing graphic.

Reader Survey: Favorite Genres and Tropes

Hello Dear, Readers!

Do you have a minute or two to answer a few questions about what you love to read? Because there are so many genres, settings, and tropes, except for the last one, these are open-ended questions, because I feel like you can speak more for yourself rather than be directed to specific options.

This survey will remain open and active, so revisit to complete it whenever you have a couple of minutes to spare to talk about one of our shared loves—books!

If for some reason you c...
