Fortune Cookie 

Sadie Hoffmiller has always liked things to be just so. A place for everything and everything in its place. Order over chaos. And of all things Sadie should be able to control, her own wedding is at the top of the list. With the big day just three weeks away, Sadie is busily adding the final touches to her wedding plans but the arrival of a mysterious letter from San Francisco changes everything.

The only person Sadie knows in San Francisco is her older sister, Wendy, whom she hasn’t seen since their mother’s funeral nearly fifteen years ago. Sadie has faced off against murderers and criminals in recent years, yet the possibility of reconnecting with her sister is both overwhelming and frightening.

Sadie soon discovers, however, that the letter is just the beginning when Wendy’s world turns out to be a place of unanswered questions, twisted truths, and more than one person with a motive for murder. The more Sadie digs into her sister’s past, the more she places her own future at risk.

What's For Dinner?

0 comments
I have reviewed some REALLY good cookbooks lately 
and I wanted to bring them all together in one post...
Because trying to figure out what's for dinner every day can be quite a task :)
~ TAKE A LOOK ~


Six Sisters' Stuff

The Six Sisters started their blog to stay in touch and help each other with family friendly recipes.

Now they are sharing with us :)

Basic ingredients
Easy instructions
Kid friendly

I LOVE that they include SO MANY pictures!

This book also includes a lot of fun craft ideas.

| Amazon | Deseret Book | Book Depository |


A Year with Six Sisters' Stuff

This cookbook has less crafts and includes FULL MENU ideas...which I LOVE because I often know what meat dish I am going to make but then struggle to come up with side dishes and/or dessert.

Again very basic ingredients, easy instructions, family friendly.

Make sure to try the Slow Cooker Eight-Can Taco Soup Menu and the Overnight Caramel French Toast Menu...SO GOOD!

This book also includes a few crafts, a 'crazy dinner tradition', a suggested pantry staples list and more.

Full review COMING~

| Amazon | Deseret Book | Book Depository |


The Hungry Family Slow Cooker Cookbook

We are a very busy people and we are picking up so much fast food because of it...me included.

A better solution, I believe, is to pull out the slow cooker and make dinner BEFORE you leave in the mornings...

This cookbook has so many TERRIFIC recipes.

Fast
Easy
Good

Do you have TWO or THREE slow cookers? Try using all of them...for a complete menu of main dish, side dish, and dessert ready to go when you walk through the door :)

Be sure to make the Chicken Pot Pie Soup...really good!

See my full review HERE

| Amazon | Deseret Book | Book Depository |


The Romney Family Table

I was pleasantly surprised with this book.

I thought the ingredients would be very fancy and something I don't normally carry, but they are just basic ingredients :)

This book was put together in an effort to help family come together at the dinner table.

Stories of the Romney's gathering around the table are included and are very fun to read!

They share family traditions, holiday traditions, and lots of pictures.

And the Parmesan Chicken is to die-for-good!

See my full review HERE

| Amazon | Deseret Book | Book Depository |


Mormon Mama Italian Cookbook

If you LOVE pasta, pizza and Italian spices like I do then this cookbook hits the spot!

Delicious, easy recipes!
No alcohol~ hence the "Mormon" in the title

Meatballs, chicken, and sauces that will leave you wanting MORE :)

Also included are fun Italian facts and jokes!

"An Italian meal isn't just a meal ~ 
It is an experience!"

See my full review HERE

| Amazon | Deseret Book | Book Depository |


Cougar Football Cookbook

What a FUN idea this cookbook is...different players and their wives came together with their favorite recipes...so a good variety is included.

LOVED the Swiss Cheese Chicken and Kassie's Pani Popo (Coconut Buns)

LOVE LOVE LOVE the ingredients list in the back...it is listed by ingredient type...have blueberries...you can make...Blue and Red Berry Pie, Cougar Blueberry Cheesecake, Muscle Recovery Smoothie, or On-the-Go Green Smoothie.

Genre: Historical Romance

WONDERFUL!
MAGNIFICENT!
ROMANTIC!
LEAVES YOU WANTING MORE!
Debbie Peterson's books are INCREDIBLE!

Mariah has been drawing since she can remember.

And her most frequent drawing in her sketchbook is of a knight.

He has been with her from the very beginning....

Mariah's fame is now such that she is commissioned to paint castles to be presented in a special collection.

Her most recent castle is a thirteenth century Scottish castle.

She loves these castles and requests to stay inside them to get the full effect for her paintings.

She is not surprised that the local townsfolk talk of ghosts residing in the castle....she has encountered ghosts before.

What does surprise her is that this ghost happens to be the same knight from her childhood drawings.

She finds out his name is Sir Cailen Braithnoch and he and his garrison fell at the hands of black magic.

A spell woven centuries ago that still holds them captive...

As Mariah spends time with these ghosts she begins dreaming of another ghost...

One who shows her the way to break the spell.

Will fate and a jealous rival keep them apart, or can they find a way for their love to "last through the ages?"

SO. SO. SO. GOOD!
A DEFINITE MUST READ!
About the Author
Debbie has always had a soft spot for fairy tales, the joy of falling in love, and happily ever after endings. Stories of love and make believe filled her head for as long as she can remember. However, it was her beloved husband who encouraged, cajoled and inspired her to take up a pen and write some of them down. Her journey to published author could fill quite a few pages. However, in June of 2010, she submitted her debut novel “Spirit of the Rebellion” to The Wild Rose Press, her second to Inkspell Publishing, and the rest is history. She now has four published novels to her credit, with a fifth due out in 2014.

When she is not busy conjuring her latest novel, Debbie spends time with all the members of her beloved family. She also pursues her interests in teaching classes on and searching out her family history—and somewhere in there, makes time to study mythology, as well as all things ancient and historic.

The Measure of a Mother's Heart

0 comments

Book Details
Author: Toni Sorenson
Release Date: March 2014
Publisher: Covenant Communications
Genre: Inspiration

PERFECT PAMPHLET FOR MOTHER'S DAY!
ENCOURAGING!
INSPIRING!


No guilt trips here! Toni's gives us honesty, humor and most importantly love in this wonderful booklet!

LOVE her opening paragraph...

"This isn't meant to be one of those feather-hugs--a once-a-year-reminder that being a mother matters. This is a celebration--a slap-your-spirit-to-awaken-the-truth kind of tribute. These are words to remind you that what you do as a mother is more important than anything else you could possibly do. Your sacred calling (job) ranks at the very tip-top of the difficulty scale. I'm no fan of Mother's Day--the holiday. I am a fan, however, of celebrating motherhood every day. You deserve more than one day a year set aside to honor you and the daily miracles in which your efforts result."

ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL!
YOU DO DESERVE TO BE HONORED EVERY DAY!
NOTHING CAN REPLACE YOU!

Mother's Day was started by one woman who wanted to celebrate her own mother. She went on to campaigned that all mothers be celebrated.

But like all things Satan twists it to his design...

"He want us to feel inadequate. He reminds us of our failures. He pits us against each other, so that we find ourselves comparing and contrasting, judging and faultfinding until we've destroyed our own support system."

Toni goes on to tell us all the ways each one of us is a mother whether we have given birth or not.

She shares with us her own insights and experiences so beautifully you just can't help but celebrate.

She especially pleads with us to honor those who have lost a child, given a child up for adoption, or have never been able to have their own children...for there is always "a sister at the back of every chapel who slips out early on Mother's Day before the potted plants or pamphlets are passed out."

Motherhood is hard, but so worth it!

Rejoice!
Know you are doing more than you think you are!
Know that you are loved!

Let's take motherhood back from Satan and celebrate it the way our Father in Heaven does!

| Deseret Book | Amazon | Book Depository | GoodReads |

The Husband Whisperer

Book Details
Author: Kevin Hinckley
Release Date: March 2014
Publisher: Cedar Fort, Inc.
Genre: Marriage / Self-Help

Do you find yourself "yelling to be heard"?
Do you have "Family Home Argument on Monday nights"?
Do you suffer with "the awfulizer..worst possible scenario" syndrome?

THEN THIS BOOK WILL HELP!

A horse trainer knows that yelling and treating a horse poorly was not the best way to train it.

Kevin Hinckley teaches us that husbands, and children too, will respond to a soft voice better than yelling, screaming, and threatening.

Real case scenarios, thoughts from scriptures and church leaders, and WONDERFUL advice from therapist Kevin Hinckley combine to make this book a VALUABLE tool in helping you learn how to master the art of 'whispering.'

There is a VERY INTERESTING section relating to the iron rod from "Lehi's Dream" and the difference between clinging and holding fast...and how one gets the fruit by falling down at the tree.

"Whisper" your way into the hearts of those you love most...Including yourself!

Know that the Lord truly does LOVE YOU...he will even "whisper" that to you if you will but be still and listen :)

AN AMAZING BOOK!

Patchwork Reality: Happily Married to a Schizophrenic (ebook) PLUS $10 Amazon CG

What Is Schizophrenia?
Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe, and disabling brain disorder that has affected people throughout history.

People with the disorder may hear voices other people don't hear. They may believe other people are reading their minds, controlling their thoughts, or plotting to harm them. This can terrify people with the illness and make them withdrawn or extremely agitated.

People with schizophrenia may not make sense when they talk. They may sit for hours without moving or talking. Sometimes people with schizophrenia seem perfectly fine until they talk about what they are really thinking.

Families and society are affected by schizophrenia too. Many people with schizophrenia have difficulty holding a job or caring for themselves, so they rely on others for help.

Treatment helps relieve many symptoms of schizophrenia, but most people who have the disorder cope with symptoms throughout their lives. However, many people with schizophrenia can lead rewarding and meaningful lives in their communities. Researchers are developing more effective medications and using new research tools to understand the causes of schizophrenia. In the years to come, this work may help prevent and better treat the illness.

Patchwork Reality: Happily Married to a Schizophrenic
Through a series of dreams and delusions, Curtis Hansen becomes convinced that he and his wife, Pauline, are part of an intricate game devised for the entertainment of wealthy onlookers. To win, the couple must stay together despite a series of temptations and trials designed to break up their marriage. After playing “The Game” with Curtis for nine arduous years, Pauline makes a shocking discovery. Read the riveting, true account of her decade in the dark and her return to reality after Curtis is diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. See MY review HERE
