So my mom is here this week.
She is taking care of the kids all week.
While I play full-time cookbook author.
For each of the first two cookbooks, my mom came for a week to help me take care of the daily needs of the kids, so that I could crawl in a hole and write, write, write. She is so gracious and generous to go to the grocery store, take the kids to their Art camp, entertain the older ones while I have Tyler’s EI visit, etc….and there’s really nothing I can do to thank her for it!
If you’re in Dayton, you might see me at Panera, at Starbucks, at the library. I bounce around from place to place to keep myself from being bored. I turn on Pandora, stick in my earphones and drift off into a land filled with recipes, prices, frugal facts, chapter outlines…and I write.
And write.
And edit.
And rewrite.
And strike an entire chapter and start over.
…until it’s something that I want you all to not only be able to read through, but be inspired by.
I’m beyond ecstatic for this third cookbook. While I love the first two dearly, I love this one the most. (That’s not really fair or true…I really love them all equally. Like I love all my kids equally as much.)
It’s just that I {{{big fat puffy heart love}}} the recipes and new cooking methods that will be featured in this One Dish Dinners cookbook.
So with that said, I’ll be in a hole this week. I might pop out to take a peek at Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. And maybe my email.
I’m leaving the site this week in the capable hands of my contributor team and a few other friends who have offered their ideas and recipes.
Now to get this manuscript done and the last few recipes tested and tweaked…
…and to be stressed no more…

GREAT site! Looking forward to all it’s treasures, and I to have a cookbook in my spirit that needs to be done! But would REALLY love to get my hands on a copy of yours!
