Update on Cookbook

I had a wonderful time over the weekend with my family. We celebrated my mother and father's 50th wedding anniversary and my mother's birthday. I sold a few cookbooks, too, and was featured in last Friday's Vallejo Times Herald newspaper (Sept. 23, 2011) about my cookbook. Everyone who's purchased a copy told me they love the recipes, and everyone has a favorite. It's been a learning process as a first-time author, but I've enjoyed every minute. My cookbook is available at IUniverse.com, Barnes & Noble.com and Amazon.com. You may choose either of these sites to purchase my cookbook. Thanks to everyone who's purchased a copy already. I hope you enjoy making the recipes as much as I do.

Going to distribute cookbooks!

Hello to anyone and everyone who's reading my blog. I'll be distributing cookbooks to people who've requested copies over the weekend. It's fun and exciting to sign my name on a book I wrote. It'll be warm this weekend, so I plan to spend some time outdoors, too. It's been a fun experience so far getting feed back from my cookbook from people who've purchased it. I hope to have my cookbook reviewed in newspapers and magazines and will update my blog when that happpens.

My cookbook's available!

I'm pleased that my cookbook, "Everyday Comfort Foods with Family and Friends", was published in July and is available at IUniverse.com, Barnes & Noble.com, and Amazon.com for $8.95! You may also purchase a copy from me directly. The cookbook is filled with a variety of popular American and Soul Food recipes, as well as a few Italian, Mexican, and Asian dishes. You'll be entertained as you use the cookbook that features poems and stories that enhance the recipes. Enjoy the cookbook! Here's a few photos of recipes included in "Everyday Comfort Foods with Family and Friends". Pictured are Peach Cobbler, Jambalaya, and Chicken Alfredo.

It pays to scan Your CVS Card

This morning, I went to my neighborhood CVS store to get a sales ad, since they're not included in the Sunday paper. Whether I make a purchase or not, I always scan my CVS card to get the coupons. To my surprise, the coupon that printed was for a free package of Wheat Thins Crackers with cheese, or a package of Newtons Fruit Thins, a new product by Nabisco. I chose the blueberry brown sugar flavor. They go great with coffee or tea and are only 140 calories for three cookies. Scan your CVS card every time you go to a CVS store. You never know what goodies you'll receive.

Hazelnut is Seattle's Best Coffee!

I recently purchased a bag of the hazelnut Seattle's Best Coffee. It's my favorite flavor so far. I've yet to try any of the other "levels" Seattle's Best offers, but I'm considering trying Level 3 or 5 next! I purchased the hazelnut flavor for $6.19 at a local Target store in San Jose, minus an additional $1.50 Off with a manufacturers coupon. What a bargain!
