Summer 2013 + Cookbook News.

DCL1

While the summer isn’t officially over yet, Labor Day has always been the “unofficial” (aka depressing) end of summer for me. Kids are back in school, the weather… is… still pretty hot, there are less mosquitos biting me, and the days are getting shorter. While you know how much I love the summer months, I am SO excited for fall to get here. Cozy sweaters, boots, pumpkin coffee treats, engagement photos, and shopping for my wedding gown.

This summer was different than any summer I’ve ever had. It was the first summer in 5 years that I wasn’t holed up in an office building. The first summer I’ve been engaged (but not the last summer I’ll be engaged either! Sept 20 2014 ♥). It was the first summer I lived with Kevin and the first summer I spent writing a cookbook and being self employed.

Cookbook Details

Back in April, I left my office job in the corporate world to concentrate on growing and developing my website. Before that, I had been juggling both a full time job and SBA. April was the same time that I signed the contract to write Sally’s Baking Addiction Cookbook as well. Since then, I’ve been writing my manuscript, baking 75 “secret” recipes behind the scenes, and taking 100s of photographs of them all in my teeny tiny apartment. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve been getting sneak peeks.
