Eat This While You Read That: Toni Weisskopf
Toni sent me this, along with a book recommendation, and of course I was going to use it. Her buckeyes are fantastic, and plentiful (if, like me, you’re planning a smaller Christmas in 2020, you can reduce the size to a quarter of the recipe and still get great results. This is a wonderful…

No-Bake Low-Carb Caramel Mocha Cheesecake
And yes, it’s as good as that title makes it sound! Not easy, but then again, when is anything that is worth the effort? First off, if you are like me and don’t have coffee extract in your pantry, start this recipe a week ahead of plan. Coffee Extract 1 c vodka (or any…

Eat This While You Read That: AM Freeman
As a busy mother, there was one thing I knew all four of the children would eat, every time I put it in front of them: waffles. Adding berries and whipped cream? It’s a celebration! So when AM Freeman suggested I pair waffles and berries with her new book, Marymae and the Nightmare Man,…

Low-Carb Apple Bread
I was making those Apple Handpies for the rest of the family and a friend, and in order to stay on the diet and reduce my temptation levels, I came up with this recipe. Note that as-is, it is not gluten free. On the other hand, you could leave that out, and (probably) the…

Apple Handpies
“Can you make apple handpies? I want to send some to work with Toodles.” Well, yes. I can. But you know I’m going to play with the concept first! Apple Handpies (with Bacon and Brown Sugar and Maybe Cheese) In a large cast iron skillet, melt together over high heat: 2 tbsp butter, salted…

Eat This While You Read That: D Wayne Harbison
When I started ETWYRT, some three or four years ago now, I was only reaching out to authors I knew and in most cases, considered friends. That has changed over the years as I have decided that this little promo series – and it is, for those of you who came here for the…

Eat This While You Read That: Bokerah Brumley
Bokerah’s got a new book out, and what better way to explore her book about searching for a lost book than by sitting down, reading, and munching tabouli (tabbouleh? So many spellings!). Grab a copy of The Book of Power, and get ready for dragons, jinns, and a search for a book that may…

ETWYRT: Amie Gibbons
This time, she’s back with a new book and a Southern feast! Amie’s newest is out, and she came asking me if I’d do Pulled Pork, biscuits, mashed potatoes, and green beans to go along with the Southern flavor of her story. The First Reader heard about this and ‘yes, please, do it soon?’…

This ought to get you started, but you could literally cook your way around the world with eggs, a dish every day of the year, and never repeat the exact same ingredients.

Watermelon Rind: A Guest Post
This is a post from Tammie Darden, who I am proud to call friend. She’s an inspiration to me: she cooks, cans, gardens, and like I have been working at becoming, she’s a scientist. When I saw her talking about a paper on the use of watermelon rind, I asked if she would be…

Eat This While You Read That: Brena Bock
I’m very pleased to be able to write this post. Since this post is celebrating Brena’s first two publications, near simultaneously, it’s appropriate to do it with a double-header. I don’t think I’ve done this before, so buckle up, this is a long post! But I don’t think you’ll be sorry. First, there’s the…
