The Simple Things in Life.

Good Morning, We are hear today chatting with Melissa McClone about her Chocolate Shop Series, check out our interview and the prize that she is giving away today on The Simple Things in Life. 1. What made you want to be an author? I love books. Reading has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I thought about writing a romance novel in high school although being a screenplay writer was more my dream. I don’t know that I ever thought about wanting to be an author per se. When I finally started writing (after reading a story I didn’t like), I just wanted to see if I could finish a book and sell it. I fell in love with writing, and that was it. 2. What inspires you to write your stories? I get a kernel of an idea and I want to see what happens, but to be honest, writing is my career and our family budget counts on what I make, so that inspires me to write a lot! 3. Do you have a favorite author? I buy Nelson DeMille’s novels in hardcover s...

Betty Crocker isn't just cakes and other sweets. Check out this recipe for Spicy Asian Soup . My teenager loves it so much, she requests it by name almost every week! It reminds me of Vietnamese pho and a savory chicken noodle soup.  Modification: Use cut chicken breasts instead of ground turkey and throw in any veggies you may have in the fridge! Though this soup is not terribly spicy, add Sriracha according to your taste preference. Enjoy!😊
