Medieval Monday | Inspiration for the Dragon Knights of Scotland
The spark of inspiration for the Dragon Knights and the time-period developed many years ago. I’ve always had a fascination with medieval history, but I didn’t realize I would venture so far back in time with my stories. Let me start from the beginning—a place that called out to me…
My love affair with Scotland and Ireland began decades ago. I blame it on my own bloodline—a yearning to return to the land of my ancestors. The land called out to me within the stories of Irish mythology and Scotti...

Friday Feast | Lemon Dream Delight
Welcome to a scorching hot Friday Feast in the Tavern! Summer has arrived in full force here in the Sacramento Valley in California. And when the blistering heat arrives, I do not feel like creating anything in my kitchen. I need time to acclimate and settle into the season.
With that being said, this lovely and delicious treat is a summertime favorite here in our home. I'm blessed to have a wonderful lemon tree out in the yard, so I'm constantly grabbing some for my water, cocktails, and lusc...

Friday Feast | Pasta for my Knight
Welcome to Friday Feast, my friends! Since my knight (aka the hubby) is part Italian, pasta is on the menu once a week. Our pantry is always stocked with an assortment of various pasta. You'll never hear me say, "We're out of pasta!" Nope, not in the Morgan house.
Yet since my knee injury in April and recovering from Covid in May (and June), I haven't made my knight's favorite pasta dish: Bucatini All'Amatriciana from a fabulous cookbook by Gabriele Corcos and Debi Mazar called Extra Virgin. T...

Medieval Monday | A Love Affair with Medieval Romance
I’ve often been asked this question, “Why Medieval romance? Why not Regency, Victorian, or Western?” In truth, I love them all, but my heart belongs to one. It started when my fingers opened a book about the great Irish King, Brian Boru (941-1014A.D.). His story is legendary, especially with the people of Ireland. King Brian led the Irish to the peak of their Golden Age—from poetry, arts, saints, and scholars. A spark ignited within my soul for more.
I sought out tales of knights in shining a...

Friday Feast | Soup for the Body and Soul
I apologize for my absence last Friday. The Covid virus struck my home with a vengeance earlier in the week and there was nothing I could do but sleep, sleep, and get more sleep. Food consisted of soups, oranges (so happy to have a couple), a few crackers, and lots of liquids--from large quantities of water to tea with honey and lemon. Thankfully, we had plenty of our favorite brand of chicken noodle soup! I love Progresso soups! When I'm unable to make my own chicken soup, I'll grab their brand...
