Happy 40th birthday to me!

Spring has finally sprung here in Michigan. I was starting to wonder if I was ever going to see the sun shine for longer than an hour. So while many are plotting their strategies for their gardens and starting to make summer plans, I’m dusting off the blenders and getting back in to the grove of smoothie creation.

When it’s cold out though, I need a little help. Sometimes you just need a little help from your friends, right? I wish my friends could help me finish up my next smoothie recipe book.

I’ve published a lot of fiction (almost 40 titles!) under a pen name, so self-publishing ain’t no big thing…but, let me tell you, trying to write a recipe book is completely different. [Read more…]
Are you wondering what to do with those chia seeds?
I know when I purchased my first bag I had no idea what I was going to do with them. I kept seeing all these great pudding style recipes on Pinterest and other folks using them in their smoothies. I’m still mastering the art of chia seeds but I wanted to share a really simple hacked I learn. [Read more…]
