Baked Strawberry Cheesecake (I also include a gluten-free method) Since this cheesecake has no crust, you can have a bigger slice, since you’re saving calories by making it without a crust. You can use any kind of berries, raspberries (although those little sucker’s seeds are a problem at times, blueberries (my favorite), strawberries or blackberries…or [...]

Spring; the season for tulips, erotic gardening, bright colors and re-runs on TV, which is why I am re-blogging this post, originally posted last spring. I have since been blessed with new followers so this is for their benefit as well. Plus, I’m a tad busy these days…but I will soon be posting fresh new [...]

What inspired this cornbread battle you ask? It all started when I posted a picture of cornbread that I created (I say created because I took major liberties with the original recipe) and called it: Italian-Canadian-Southern Style Cornbread. Italian, because of the mozzarella cheese I added and with the addition of apple and maple syrup it [...]

This blog post has been posted before and there are two reasons I’m re-posting it. 1. It’s spring and there are a lot of television shows that have gone into hiatus and are now showing re-runs. (Not that I’m going on hiatus, but I’m doing the re-run thing). 2. Friend and fellow writer, Laurie Kozlowski wanted [...]

Crawling out of my writer’s cave today to have some fun. Blogger Buddy, Lafemmeroar, a talented, witty blogger and founder of the Crazy Chicks Club, (I’m a member, shocker isn’t that I would be a member of a place with Crazy Chicks ) came up with this fun game. Nancy Lauzon, author of the Chick Dick Mystery Series [...]

I love salty snacks and one of my weaknesses is potato chips. When Shakira sings, “Hips don’t lie,� she’s talking about those of us whose penchant for potato chips makes our hips tell the truth. So I stay away from the chippy hip-extending carbs and instead look for ways to satisfy my salty cravings with [...]

Growing up, the best part of spring (that is, when the snow had actually melted and daffodils or tulips had started to peek through the ground) was the anticipation of Easter morning. Not only was I going to slip into my new shiny shoes, and colorful Easter outfit, but it was chocolate Easter egg hunt [...]

Aside from perfecting my deep meditation and concentration during yoga, and besides dancing with my dog and singing into my hairbrush, and writing contemporary romances, I also write children’s stories under the pen name, Maddie Ryan.  To celebrate Spring (I know what you’re thinking…Spring? It’s still snowing in some parts…but let’s use our imagination and fantasize [...]
